Taria Pakari Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Nothing, they're just a fun little post count thing that a lot of forums have/had. If things like ranks had anything actually functional tied to them, then it would probably just encourage spamming to try and get the things they have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-Kopaka Toa of Ice-) Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They aren't much but, they're mostly a show of commitment for being active. Premier members are allowed to show unique images (provided from bzpower themselves) The honorific Premier Member name rank is also a royal purple color and it is given by donating a small ammount of money to the website and you get those benefits that las a few months equal to the ammount you paid.

Crimson Jester Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 We used to have a few fun systems of friendly competition. The ranks were a cool way of “progressing through” the Bionicle story and encourage posting in on-topic areas of the forum. We also used to have a protodermis bar that functioned similar to a morality system in RPGs. You started with the bar at half, or neutral, and could lose or gain up to 5 (I think? It’s been a long time) boosts or losses to the bar, for alternately doing good deeds for the server and misbehaving. Once the bar emptied, you were banned. When it filled, you gained the Outstanding BZPower Citizen role, which would change your name to orange, and could be flourished with a premier membership.

You also only had to wait 30 days between name changes, as opposed to 45 for premier members and 90 for non-premier, if I remember correctly.

I believe you’re correct; that sounds exactly right! Thanks for filling the gaps I left haha 1 Quote "This spot marks our grave; but you may rest here too, if you like."

I believe the new forum software has something to do with that. Like how the rank images no longer show except on profiles, the protodermis bar is probably just not visible, but the system still seems to be in place at least. You and others still have the OBC rank. Unless of course that's just a carry over from the old forum. Someone more familiar with the workings of the forum would have to confirm.
