	Generally, the criticism I have to offer is stuff I brought up in the old thread anyway, so I've cut out anything which is now irrelevant from the quote to make it simpler, as well as adding in a few more notes: Zombie_Fish: Specific criticism (Big post is big) General criticism (not so big post is not so big) Suggestions go to here And this is a dead link, it just leads to a 404 Error. If there's any reason for ignoring those points or if you're planning on implementing them in the future then feel free to tell me. Congratulations on getting this stickied as well. As a replacement for the old map is is certainly a damn good one. EDIT: ColdStorage: Snip The Avatar Store is already listed under 'Community Discussion'. EDIT2: Is your avatar Megas XLR with a rainbow in it? Because that's just awesome.

Zombie_Fish	19 POSTED: 27 Jun 2010 14:25
	May be worth adding this thread to the User Reviews section.

Claymorez	20 POSTED: 29 Jun 2010 18:48
	Zombie_Fish: May be worth adding this thread to the User Reviews section. Cheers! Just added it and the additions to the written features like with the videos :P I'll add more :D

Mister Awesome	23 POSTED: 17 Jul 2010 04:56
	so how do i post a picture?

Zombie_Fish	24 POSTED: 17 Jul 2010 10:15
	Mister Awesome: so how do i post a picture? This really isn't the best place to ask but the code is [img]image url[/img]: Example Hit the quote button next to my post if you want to see how I did that exactly. If you need any help figuring out other stuff you can do on the forums, it's probably already explained here, here or here and if none of those mention how then a comment in one of those threads would probably be more suitable than asking here.

DigitalSushi	25 POSTED: 18 Jul 2010 10:12
	Zombie_Fish: EDIT2: Is your avatar Megas XLR with a rainbow in it? Because that's just awesome. Yep it is!, if you look closely the "head" (the V10 Barracuda car) is in his hand, so he's "headless"... kinda my thing with the avatars. Its funny since I consider myself to be the king of France on this site and we all know what happens to French Kings. Also congrats on becoming a moderator!, fine addition you be!.

Wardnath	26 POSTED: 24 Jul 2010 01:56
	It seems that everyone's becoming a mod these days... O.o

Sleekgiant	27 POSTED: 31 Jul 2010 07:33
	A new thread of threads has been made. I'll just leave that there X3

Claymorez	28 POSTED: 2 Aug 2010 18:21
	Updating later this evening with new sections.

Sleekgiant	29 POSTED: 2 Aug 2010 19:12
	Claymorez: Updating later this evening with new sections. >.> Maybe a linkie to the new Community Members Thread in your Index

	Radelaide: I feel so left out 'cause I'm only an IRC mod :( cries in her corner Now you made me feel bad so I will go off to edit all the lists of moderators and add a new section which includes IRC Mods... :P Plus I'll be updating the whole index with a mojor over hall over the next few days and nights! :D

DiMono	33 POSTED: 19 Nov 2010 16:01
	Is there a list of posting level titles and what post ranges they encompass? i.e. right now I'm a Beat Writer, and that goes from 126 to y number of posts. Before that I was Copy Clerk, which I think went from 51 to 125.

	DiMono: Is there a list of posting level titles and what post ranges they encompass? i.e. right now I'm a Beat Writer, and that goes from 126 to y number of posts. Before that I was Copy Clerk, which I think went from 51 to 125. There's no official list by the staff but various users have made lists of them in the past, if you search the forums enough you'll probably find a full list somewhere. I just copied this from a thread I found with a few changes from my own experience, so it may not be fully reliable: Anonymous Source: 0-25 posts. Paperboy: 25-50 posts. Copy Clerk: 50-100 posts. Beat Writer: 100-200 posts. Muckraker: 200-300 posts. Press Junketeer: 300-500 posts. Infamous Scribbler: 500-750 posts. Pulitzer Laureate: 750-1000 posts. Gone Gonzo: 1000-5000 posts. On The Record: 5000-8000 posts. Master Archivist: 8000-10000 posts. Wordsmith Extraordinaire: 10000-15000 posts. Nobel Laureate: 15000+ posts. EDIT: Here's the original thread, if you're interested. The changes I've done to the list were for the bottom five titles.

The changes I've done to the list were for the bottom five titles. Well for sure the first few are out of date. I was Paperboy from 11-50 and I didn't enter Beat Writer until 126. I guess I'll keep track of the ranks as I advance through them and update it here. Edit: Beat Writer ends at 225 and becomes Muckraker at 226. Edit 2: Muckraker ends at 350, Press Junketeer begins at 351. Edit 3: Press Junketeer ends at 500, Infamous Scribbler begins at 501. So the updated list so far is: Anonymous Source: 0-10 Paperboy: 11-50 Copy Clerk: 51-125 Beat Writer: 126-225 Muckraker: 226-350 Press Junketeer: 351-500 Infamous Scribbler: 501-?
