Hey i was wondering how some people on the trap have changed the text underneath their avatars?
Right now mine says "Super Member" for which i want changed to "Super Duper Member". Any idea's how people are doing it? I can't find that option in my controls, is it up to the mods to make that change?

[H.O.D]

That option will be enabled once you reach 500 posts. That's done to ensure that you're a loyal member and won't leave trap17 in a hurry, so that's why you have to wait until you reach 500 posts to change your "Under-the-avatar" name! All the best I hope you reach there soon.

As H.O.D. said, you are able to change your Member Rank title after you hit 500 posts. Here is a list of all of the default rankings before and after 500 posts. You of course do not have to keep the ranks left after the 500 post mark.

wow that sure is an impressive list - I didnt know about all those ranks about 500. I guess there are very few members who have actually gone beyond 5000? That's why official titles have stopped there itself!

I believe originally the official titles had only gone up to the 500 post mark. This was due to the fact that the forum was relatively new and no one at the time had so many posts. As Trap17 grew though, more posts were made and activity grew so naturally the people who stuck around posted a lot more and went above and beyond that original 500 mark so they made the new rankings to adjust for that. Saint_Michael has over 7,000 posts but he has a custom Title. Other than iGuest the only one close to breaking the 5,000 barrier would be jlhaslip who is over the 4,800 mark. Eventually he will hit 6,000 I imagine and we will see what happens, if it changes or if they will have to add more titles again. Maybe they'll just jump to the 10,000 mark.

I reckon reaching 500 posts will be difficult enough for me (for the sake of becoming "super duper member"). I dont want to post any bogus posts, cause that just aint quality and i dont want to form bad habits. Mmm... i'll just have to plod along, as i have been.

[H.O.D]

@Plenoptic: I can't wait to see if someone reaches the 10,000 mark! Most likely it will be SM coz no one else is closer. I think the only other place where people get these many posts is the warez forums where the post count goes up to 50,000 too! Out scenario here is different and ours is a legal site, so the posts are bound to come slowly! Anyway, you are in a good place too - 2300 posts is a really good number so keep it up

@inversebloom: You're at 277 now so if you make 5 good posts daily on an average, then you can reach 500 in two months - not so shabby, eh? And I said 5 because that's the general number of posts most people make - you can go all out and make 10 (good) posts daily and get to 500 in a month! It all depends on you and your patience. All the best in reaching there Super Duper Member

I think I'm getting close, hmm. This post will make 400, I think. Well, that will give me lots of time to think about what I'll put there. Maybe that will have to be my Christmas present.

Sound like fun, I also just understood that you can make your custom title under the avatar if you're over 500 posts, never knew I need to reach 500 posts, but on this forum I'm quite new, I always thought you can change it, but it seems fair enough to be able to change it only on 500 posts, on astahost forums I've changed it years ago and never knew the preferences needed
