Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
It stopped working whenthe new forum went online. I just think they decided we didnt really need it anymore. We can see when people get promoted.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
It was something I wrote for the old forum. When we moved to the new forum it stopped working. I lost the code I wrote for the old one and didn't have the time or effort required to rewrite it from scratch...

With the amount of new members it would also be posting a lot, while it was fun its not greatly needed.

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
I agree. It was fine when we only had about a dozen people posting regularly, but with the amount of people we have now it'd get a bit cluttered.

You'd need a separate thread just for Mark's promotions.

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
Yeah, well, Rochey's string of promotions through Captain is already long since in the books; he's been in the territory where promotions are much further apart for quite some time now.

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
Indeed. It's going to be quite a while 'till I hit the next rank.

I assume so.

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
They seem to have levelled off in the last couple - 3000 post gaps apiece. Of course, they might be about to go shooting up again.It's going to be quite a while 'till I hit the next rank.
Another two or three, depending on whether non-Kennedys are allowed six-star ranks.Reliant121 wrote:Is there another rank?

Re: What's up with the promotion announcements?
I imagine I won't hit the next rank 'till I get to around 15000 posts. Dunno why, but I just have a feeling.

Incidentally, the ranks go up to 5 Pip Admiral. You can't get to six pips no matter how much you post.
