What are the Japan Forum ranks?

[Umihito]

I'm curious as to what the ranks (and post counts needed to achieve them) are on JF.

For example at the time of writing this, I'm a 'JF Regular' which needed 30 posts to achieve.

So what are the ranks after this and post counts needed for them?

If it's too long a list, then just write a few of the ranks after 'JF Regular' and then maybe the next person can continue the list.

Actually, you can make up your own after a certain amount.... I noticed it after I hit 100, but it may have been available before that.... It's just a number and a rank.... really it means nothing.... I've been to other boards a long time ago where people took it too seriously and posted garbage just to get their count up.... it's not a competition and having a high post count doesn't make you any more important than an occasional poster....imo

Yeah I noticed some people had custom ones

I know that it means nothing, and I really don't plan on any of that childish 'I can get the higher rank' stuff, it annoys me too.
I'm just curious because for some reason I have a little fascination with forum ranks and I always like to see what the next one may be, as well as seeing others' ranks.

Mmmh after so many posts you're allowed to have your own custom avatar and a title under your user name. And I'm not sure about the signature, I don't remember if a certain amount of posts are needed in order to have one. And I think that's about it, no ranks.

There are 4 ranks in JF:
New to JF,
JF Regular,
JF Old Timer,
Busier Than Shinjuku Station.

Don't understand why people should care about nonsense like that...

Woah I didn't think there were only 4!

And like I said I don't care about it in the sense that I want to beat others' ranks, I just find them interesting, I don't know why.

And that means what, you post like there's no tomorrow?

You can put in a signature from Day 1. I wish you couldn't, though. We get lots of sig spammers.

Oh, I just found out that you can have your own custom rank... well... after 30 posts!
I can change mine now

You make the conclusion. I'm not the one who created these ranks.

I wanted to address Shinjuku with that problem the next time he shows up, but it seems he doesn't want to show up at all. I don't think it's hard to add a sig restriction along with others when somebody joins.
