Three posts that didn't really answer the question. Cool.

Hehe.. you guys have a very original sense of humor. So, is it when I get to 1 post per day or something?

As explained in the thread SpaceMonkey linked, the next rank is at 200 total posts.

Hg2491, read a few (well OK a few hundred posts) in the lounge and then you might find your answer. To your sarcasm question that is.

If that is the threshold then the Lounge would have no new threads.

I'm just bitter that I didn't get a '71 Ferrari Daytona from Santa.
(we can be a very sarcastic bunch here in the Lounge, but fear not - we do it with love. I think. )

I moved to Windows because of job requirements, then I had new hobby - digital photography, bought Nikon DSLR camera and participated in some heated Nikon-Canon wars (same as the Mac-PC wars); and I suddenly found that I haven't checked MacNN for more than 2 years.. But I surely liked Electronista, which is sister site and check it reqularly - does it make me still MacNN regular?

Oh yeah.. I used to browse Canon forums (awesome btw) and post benchmarks showing how Nikon is better on ISO and other things.. hehe.. i guess i learned much from MacNN.. Its pretty cool idea to have it here too bad Nikon likes crap MS software..

This is an interesting thought - what if forum rank was based on the post count rate, not total? That'd be pretty interesting.

We would then be able to gang up and publicly humiliate a member.
I like it.

That was a very logical answer, sek929. It's actually very original.
Thank you. Now I only need 9 more for the rest of my toes.

Think about it guys. Imagine that a Clinically Insane member stops visiting the forums. After a year or two, he would still be Clinically Insane because he has the same number of posts, whereas if the rate was considered, he would be downgraded.

Do you really think somebody who's posted on MacNN 15000+ times gets more sane just because he takes a short break?

Yeah whatever Mr. 2.3-posts-per-day. The only real NNer is one who averages over 5 posts per day.
My Gossamer account was retired over a year and a half ago and still has a 5.3 average.

Well if you take my total posts and divide it by the length of time you've been here...it would equal you being an ass.
Like that math, engineering-boy?
