Do you mean post count or rank system? If you truly mean post count, then you can forget it. We are not going to transfer post counts from BSDForums. If, however, you actually mean rank system, then that might be a possibility.

Sorry. Just ignore all of the math in my post and you have everything that is important.

Post count says nothing more than how diligent a user is in visiting and posting at the forums. Unfortunately, this is many times not how the ranks are interpreted.

Choosing our own titles is certainly a possibility. The fact that user ranks misrepresented some people has always bothered me, but none of the ranking systems proposed would remedy this, save for scottro's (Choose our own titles).

In light of the exceedingly mixed response to the new ranks, I will post a poll to see what we should end up doing. I will leave it open for some time, just so we can get a good representation of users.
