What ever happened to the post rating system

Just wondering what happened to the post rating system. You know, the one where you were rated on how many posts you've made from batboy to Hall of Famer. That system was cool and was wondering why it isn't used anymore.

Sure.. Actually Markus said its gone while they finish upgrading the message board server, but should return.

Otherwise I guess the Hall of Fame will remain a very exclusive club <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

scottvib...is that plaque made out for you by the board? or did you make that plaque yourself. i read it the other day and it was pretty interesting. just wondering...

2000 posts puts you in the Hall.

I made the plaque as a joke just after my 1999th post... (somewhere out there you can find post 2000 with a message, plus I counted down posts 1997-2000) I just filled it in with "official" sounding garbage. Didn't expect anyone would read it, but figured I'd put something their just in case. I just made up something that sounded semi-official. It shouldn't be taken seriously (except for my lack of a life part <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ; unfortunately the entirely too much free time has gone the way of the dodo, oh well, asì es la vida)

I keep meaning to replace the image, but haven't decided what to change it too yet.

BTW the base of the plaque is Bill Mazeroski, I just removed the Pirates cap insignia.
