Who says that a V10 is better than a V8? Just a stupid way to rank people here if you ask me.:)

fine!! :}

Can you suggest a good way?
I wanna hear all the suggestions you have.
Thanks for letting me know by the way.

How about Member the lowest Senior member middle and moderators and you the administrator :)

nah......
that's too simple...
we want to be different (don't we?)
Any other ideas, anybody?

How about quarter mile times? For example, I got about three posts so my level might be 16-flat or something like that. Could get complicated but it doesn't have to be. It is original though.

Or try: Economy car owner, Sportscar owner, Luxury car owner, Exotic car owner, something like that. I'm sure you guys will figure out something.

yeah, I'll be thinking about it.
Or how about I just take the V-10 out.
So that it's
Flat-4
V-6
V-8
V-12
W-16
W-24

heh?
you like that don't ya! :D

I think u guys should dump the I-4 V-6 V-8 idea I have honda civic and I don;t have a v-6 or W-24 for that matter. I don't want to be labled as a V-6 when i don't have one.
Maybe after a certain number of post you could get "points" with these points you could go to the "Auto Enthusiasts Store" and buy imaginary stuff for your car The imaginary stuff could be posted to the left of your screen anem in the messege forum. Whoever has the most after market stuff is the King of Posting this idea needs some refining but u said u wanted something different :)

I've got Rims Bigger then your Future

That's a VERY good and original idea!
I'm gonna work on it.
Anybody have any more suggestions or maybe an addition to this idea?

----------
I've seen the future, and all I can say is go back....

Wow! i like that!

Damn Azzkikr,

That is a good idea. Very original. I say roll with it.

i truly love the idea.
But it will probably be pretty hard to make the script to do that. we will see.

Yeah that sounds really hard :( but oh well :)

How about like as soon as you hit 50 you get to chose out of a list of cars of what you want to be and 60 more (better) cars are added and at 70 same then on and on and on :)

Personally, I like both azzkikr and vetteman's ideas. Azzkikr's does sound hard, though. I like vetteman's, but instead of 50, 60, 70, etc., maybe it should be 50, 100, 200, 300, etc.

Both Azzkikr's and vettemaan's ideas sound pretty cool, but Azzkikr's sounds a little better. It actually wouldn't even be that hard to implement a user ranking system like that. I could even help you out with the coding if needed.

i think it sould be this way

just some ideals

Sorry GOD, but your list is a thad boring IMO. I would go for Azzkirs option, if possible...

I'll give my vote for Azzkikr:D

Azzkikr's is awesome.you could do something in mph, but Azzkikr's is the best.

I like mine:).

ok then NissanZ, can u uh.... try to make a script which Azzkikr??
PLZ PLZ PLZ :D
I will give you a cookie [+ some other stuff.]

Igor, I'd be happy to help with a user ranking system like that. Just talk to me on ICQ and we can discuss it further.

Well Azzkickr's is good, but it sounds difficult. Vettemaan's is good, maybe you could implement Vettemaan's AND somebody elses, like GOD's at the same time.

Damn... posted too late, it seems a new system is already in place.

Ha ha... good one! I like it!

ummm.. but i hate mustangs tho....

No Porsche come on. You suck. jk :)

Why is the Huffy 10 speed before the Geo Metro? Everyone knows a Huffy will smoke a Metro any day...

Wait a second - how about letting members choose their own status name? You could enter it in as part of your profile, and change it whenever you want. This allows members to further express themselves and gives people a good idea of their personalities.

Thats what the username is for. :)

I GOOD IDEA RIGHT HERE: plz read

you could make a script that lets the person select which car they want for each level, for instance:

newbie (-) Geo Metro - (-) Datsun
2. {-) Honda Civic - {-}Acura Integra
3. {-) Honda S2000 - {-}BMW M Roadster
4. {-) Porsche 911 - (-)somethingorother
5. {-) Pagani Zonda C12s - (-) Koenigsegg CC
6. etc., etc.

KEY: (-) = radio boxes


and you can have more options too.. what'dya think?

I dont want to include specific models like that because everyone has different tastes..
some people like one car and others like another.

Dont forget to add Flat 6 to the top :)

Yeah i agree with not doing the car choosing thing...i just think that gets too complicated and then we have people complaining about how one car isn't better than the other..or why we don't have a certain car in our list...etc. etc.

I actually think the member status titles are fine the way they are now. People would argue with most of those other ideas. For example, one person might say a Flat 6 is better than a W18 for example, where another person might think the opposite. Azzkikr's idea, though it is excellent, would take quite a lot of programming and time to implement, plus it would be more complicated for users. If I were you Igor, I'd leave the member status titles alone. It's setup great the way it is now.

or idiots like don't even know. What is a W18?

I still like AZZKIKRs idea. And have no prob to spend time for it:D

I really like Azzkikr's idea too, but it would take a ton of time and programming to implement a system like that. I'd help with it, but I don't have a lot of spare time and I don't want to be the only one working on a project that big.

Also, Bean Bandit, do you have any experience with PHP and mySQL?

A W18 is an engine, pretty crazy design, three banks of six cylinders each. Bugatti/VW has been playing with these engines and other exotic W-oriented engines. Volkswagen has fairly firm plans to release a new W8 Passat. I think it's cool, but also gimmicky, and I am unsure of the practicality and wisdom in using these kinds of engines.

Early in the 20th century, most engine block designs were played with, and ultimately discarded by automobile manufacturers in favor of the tried and true engine designs that have survived through the ages. These are genererally the inline 4, V6, and V8. There are many others that are used, like the inline 6, and flat engines used by Porsche and Subaru. Engines like the X8 for example, were experimented with, and discarded by Henry Ford, as he found that having two cylinder banks inverted it is difficult to keep the pistons firing properly (having the spark plugs at the bottom of the cylinders instead of the top) especially when driving though rain and mud.

While Volkswagen is trying to find problems with using the W8 (and to that end they are really not finding anything convincing to prevent them from using the engine), for me personally, I just don't know if I see it as a good move.

Yea but there is a lot going on in making new kinds of engines.

P.S. I love the flat 6 engines sound so good.

I like falt 6's and any Flat engine, my mom has a Subaru so it's cool. I think for the ranking system, that we should use a complex system that is easy to follow (Includes many different ranks). It should be somewhat like the military, when I say this I mean that one rank should be easily distingiushable from another. We aslo should not use any system using cars or engines! It is too diverse and yet similar. Some people think a BMW is better than a Benz, some people think otherwise. Engines are also that way, a TT Flat-6 can make better Hp than a V8, a 4 cyl can make more than some V-6's (S2000) and so on. I think that we should use stars like on CF, and have a voting system....

Each member with a certain amount of posts (500) should be put in a vote. If they are liked by a majority of people, they should recieve a Red Star or something, It would just give people more recognition and it would also let people be better advised and educated from members. So if somebody was specifically liked it would look good as them and give other people a chance to strive for a goal.

I would change the current system to this Igor, or at least make it something more defined. I think that a Fanatic and Enthusiast are the same thing.

How about this?

Brabus, did you read the thread before posting that?? :rolleyes:
We won't use car names. Cause that is very subjective as to which car is actually better, etc.

Since I'll have some time to think next week, what with being on vacation and all, I'll keep this in the back of my mind and see if I can come up with some new ideas for member status rankings.

We could relate post numbers to horsepower, or even penis size :D Most people I meet seem to be big fans of both of these.

yeah using cars isn't a good idea...especially if peeps have those cars...hey i wouldn't mind having a lexus gs430...i'll just keep my posts at that number then...hehe
