Modern Vespa

Just to be mean in the interest of leveling out the ranks a bit, I've changed the number of posts necessary to achieve the rank of Ossessionato. Since so many of you are posting so much, "Ossessionato" no longer seems quite as much of an accomplishment. Additionally, the space between ranks should get larger and larger as the post counts get higher and higher, and Ossessionato isn't currently following that curve.

So the new level for Ossessionato is 2000, which is only 500 more than it used to be. I apologize to the people who have been demoted back to Molto Verboso, although I'm sure it's only a temporary setback.

There is another rank up there, but lomunchi seems to be slowing down lately, and so nobody has seen it yet.

How many Obsessionatos are there?

Goals, goals... oh such goals I have

As of this moment with the new levels in place, there are 39 of them. Several of those are moderators, though, and so may or may not count, depending on perspective.

I just figured out how to check by sorting "total posts." My goodness, how did people like Spock manage to post so much in such a short time, and keep their day jobs?

Wow

The last time I got demoted after being in a position for that long, I packed up...

and left town...

I need to do more post-whoring.

Scooterific,

You're only 18 away, you can knock those off with just a few fluffy posts.

One letter at a time! You can do it!

I on the other hand, am a long, long way aways...

I will spend the afternoon fluffing.

Yeah, the new job's a pain... I actually have to work again... really bites into the MV time!

My ultimate goal, as it is for most of us, is to earn "petty tyrant". Ah, for people to verbally accost me for enforcing the rules, now THAT would be wonderful!

This is bullshit. I am so writing a letter to the owner.

At my rate, I should be there around Christmas 2009. Whoohoo! Damn it, I need a life...

I think you should raise it a little higher. 2200 or so.

It's a really sunny day out there. Don't waste any more of it for me!!!

one could only hope...

OH! ZING!

best,
-greasy

I thought you might appreciate this on every level that it needed to be.

Cheers.

Wouldn't this be a bitch...

Don't say it, nightwing!

Ctrl/Alt/Delete.

This one is better.

Boy, I feel proud to be part or a small group
or a real post whore

I can see...

how it would

be easy to post "Quantity" over

Quality posts.

meh, I don't mind being demoted at all but if we are raising the bar can you get that MV-Bot to show us some love.

Wow, I haven't checked in a while, but I used to be pretty solidly in the top 100 posters, but I guess I've been slacking lately. That's what I get for working full time and trying to go school and occasionally spend time with my wife!!!

You are still solidly in the top 100 posters, at the moment somewhere slightly below 1000 posts gets you into that top 100. Even I'm there and i don't consider myself prolific.

You don't need to be "prolific"...
... you are a "RockStar"

(just doing my part for title ascension...)

You are moving pretty fast for an 08 joiner! As for "Rock Star", shame I can't sing a note...

My next rank is Addicted, but at my rate of posting who knows when I'll get there... I'm going to quit trying. Maybe you should just change mine to Quitter.

Jess said there were 39 but actually if you take the moderator etc titles out there are only about 30.

So 1 Tyrant, 7 or so Moderators, 1 Moderatrix, 1 Olivia Newton John, 30 Obsessed, 2 Rock Stars, about 50 with Verbal Diarrhoea and one unknown which at present only one member is anywhere near.... (lomunchi).

Then we have the lurkers, members, enthusiasts, hooked and addicted. Any other titles floating around....?

Now i'm just being anally retentive

I am hoping that 100 is the next level up for me. If not then I will be severely disappointed.

So,
