I would like to encourage everyone to upload a small image to their profile to use as an avatar, much like mine to the left. It's another way to identify yourself and bring a little life to the forums.

You may have noticed a subtitle below your profile name when you leave a post. Those are called rankings, and are based on how many posts you have made. As you make posts, you ranking slowly increases. Here are the current rankings, starting with the lowest. You may recognize a theme developing...

Jerk
Bully
Petty Criminal
Henchman
Faithful Assistant
Villain
Arch-Criminal
Super Villain
Evil Genius
Megalomaniac

These rankings will remain until they become obsolete, which should take a while. Then I may reorganize them a bit. I will not divulge the thresholds needed to rise in rank. I want it to be a surprise when it happens.

Hey Doc,
I wanted to complement Uroboros on his work with Red Venus. That's outstanding!! But I noticed I cannot post in his area. Is that a ranking thing? It says I cannot post in this area.

I wanted to make some requests for Red Venus.. Ideas?

I'll take a look at the settings for the forum. Could be that some security setting was reset...

Ah, found it. You should be able to post there now.

In certain forums I had limited members to replying to existing threads only instead of being able to create new ones. This was in an attempt to fight the rampant spam that occasionally floods our messageboard. That is why you couldn't start a new topic of your own. It seems that Max has kindly fixed the issue, so you should be all set now. Sorry for the confusion.

- Doc
