Maybe it would work if it'd go like this:
Those who register before the change, if it ever takes place, will have to wait for eight months. Those who register after get to wait a year?
But I'm not sure it would be such a good idea, seems... Discriminative or something. =| Even if it's not such a big deal.
Just keep it the way it's always been, because raising the amount of time to get a custom status rank is ridiculous at this point. I think eight months is enough...

Maybe if you guys are intent on changing it (which I doubt you are) the length required to earn on could be proportional to the age of the forums.
The MB has a nice little box and you type in how long the MB waits before it gives out ranks. Doing it proportionally or doing it only for people who register from now on would be torture for us to keep track of. Raising the limit would also take the ranks away from the people who just hit their eight months recently, unless we went around and found them all and manually enabled them, which would also be torture.
Just remember, you're all newbies compared to BOU. Maybe I should raise the limit to 3 years.
Honestly, I don't think changing anything would be feasible if people are going to lose their ranks. That just wouldn't make any sense...

They're fine the way they are, methinks. I don't really think it's worth worrying over whether ninety percent of the active members on the fora have custom ranks. I don't think that many have them anyway; I don't, mystic ice goddess doesn't, Ferenan doesn't, and all the newbies don't. Yes, I'll agree that the custom rank requirement isn't designed so that people can register, never post, and then come back eight months later to have a custom rank. I don't think anyone does that intentionally, though. There are people who "slip through the cracks," but why should we care? There are so few of them that it really shouldn't matter. Besides, if the only thing that brings them back is the chance to enter their custom rank, at least it brings them back.

Considering I slag you off all the time, I may aswell take the time aside to say that that was worded well and was pretty kew. I rank that as one of the greatest things ever written by you, Aaron.
Well, I don't really count things said by you, but yeah. *thumbs up*

That's what I would have said, if I weren't so cranky. So instead I'll just say "off" and you can expand that to what The Man said.
Ok, that post makes up for the one in the 'Posts' thread.
Ranks are ranks.

I wasn't suggesting that seriously, I just wanted to hear people go "no, no,no!"
It would be nice to see a different system in place. But to make it work, it would take a lot of work, and it's really not worth it. If you really want to reward people for loyalty, you'd give them something substantial, such as access to a special 'spamfest 3000' forum.

If we create a spamfest 3000 forum, I'm resigning.
Dang.

And as a compromise, we can disable post counts in it! Oh, wait; post counts are disabled everywhere else already. Dang...
