I installed a ranking script, so everyone gets a rank depending on how many posts they have. Admins/mods will still get special moderator ranks that don't change.
Not telling how many posts it takes to get to each one, I'l let people find out - the highest one is a thousand posts.
Changed these slightly to some new ones:
-Neo Geo Weenie
-Real Neo Hot Dog
-100 Mega Shock!
-Southtown Guardian
-Crossed Sword
-Aero Fighter
-KOF Master
-Super Spy
-Mark of the Wolf
-Magical Drop
-Shock Trooper
-Metal Slug
-Ninja Master
-Giga Power
-NeoGeoForLife!
How do these sound? I know they are a bit unimaginitive, but I did come up with them while tired! 
Along with the ranks, people can also be part of an admin assigned member group (even mods). At the moment we have:
Neo Geo Veteran
It's reserved for long time contributors to the site. Please don't ask for it - it is given out at our discretion to people that have either helped on the forum a lot or contributed to the site with reviews and other content.

Well you know what they say; if you aren't playing Neo Geo, you're just a weenie! 
edit: Changed ranks slightly:
NG4L newbie is now "Neo Geo Weenie"
NG4L User is now "Real Neo Hot Dog"
Just in case you are wondering why:

After the upgrade I did the rank system screwed up so I found and installed a new version which seems a lot better. The other one had a limit of only 15 different ranks, whereas the new one lets me add tons more, so if anyone wants to throw up a few suggestions of imaginative ranks we could use (Neo related of course  ), then I'll think about adding them.
Waiting for another upgrade to this script that allows custom ranks for individual users... a lot of people have asked for that so there's a good chance someone will do it!

Emo Fairy said she would hurt me if I didn't give her a custom rank, and seeing as she knows where I leave I thought it important to respect her wishes!
Changed it so that Giga Power is now 1000 posts (makes sense really!), and NeoGeoForLife is a bit higher. I'll think of some more ranks and get them added in between the other ones, so people will see their rank changing a bit more often. Keeps things interesting... might be able to change the rank icons a little bit for each different one of these ranks, but it's something I'll look at later.

lol Gotta love the whole 'Hot Dog' thing.
Having more ranks makes it a little more interesting. Though having the word 'Weenie' under my name is kind of funny. |

Lol - don't worry though, it won't stay like that for long. Besides, I can restore your post count from the old forum when we transfer over (I think most of us are going to do that), so you'll be boosted up to one of the other ranks if you want that.
Uploading pics to the photo gallery now - have a look, there's LOADS there now... still some way to go though

I have indeed, and it's been very long-winded uploading all the pictures and naming everything etc! At the time of writing I have done all the Neo Geo reviews up to SNK Vs Capcom... I plan to finish the rest off tonight then I'm gonna hit the hay. Not sure how much chance I will have to work on it tomorrow, but I'll finish all the non-neo geo photo albums next, and then start looking at the reviews themselves. Once I'm 100% happy with the template for the reviews I'll speak to you more about that
Thanks,
Kaz

LMAO... yes at one time you did, but if you remember when I sat down and practiced properly you couldn't touch me, and even tried to blame my Neo Geo arcade stick cos you were "used to control pads" .
Tell you what, I'll give you a slight headstart by adding your post count from the old forum to your count on this one, so it will bump you up a little bit. Not telling how many posts it takes to get to Magical Drop, but let's just say it's in the hundreds!
edit: you had 70 posts before, so added to your total on here it makes it 75. Ooooh look you made it to Neo Geo Hot Dog!

Well at least Neo Geo Hot Dog sounds better. You know last time we played it, your stick wasn't working properly. Thats my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it.
I've had loads of prectice these past few weeks so if you want another challenge I'm gonna kick your ass at it |
