When you sign up, you're labeled an "Extra Member."  This is not because we consider you expendable or unnecessary.  You're a valuable member of our community!  (Group hug ensues.)

"Extra" is the first rank.  "Red" is the second; you'll get to that after 50 posts.  Next is orange, green, blue, purple, and gold.  The highest rank is "Rainbow Member."

(Psst: It's the order of the Seven Siblings, from youngest to oldest.)

Welcome, Extra Members!  And congratulations to whoever gets to Red Member first!

Sounds interesting!  I guess that if someone's favorite is Rini, they won't post as much to keep themselves as an Extra member?  Smiley

I blame you, Matthew!  I haven't been able to join in discussions through e-mail, so I'm catching up here (as I said I would lol).  Besides, I've been bored, so this is the perfect way for me to keep myself busy.I haven't even been in the BSB fanclub chat in a couple of days... that's just... wrong lol.

Good night, everyone!  I've now spent a record of... too many hours on this board and I should get some sleep!

Bye!!! lol

We had to spread the ranks out because ITL is a long series and we'll be here for a while.  If everybody could get to rainbow in the first week, we'd have nothing to aspire to.

We actually just adjusted the rankings again - - rainbow was a little too accessible, and it seems wrong to be able to reach it that easily - - but as a result, Falconer is no longer a red member.  For which I am deeply sorry.  I apologize for the unintentional demotion.

Falconer, you will always be a red member in my heart.

Which sounds like horrible, horrible porn.

I remember it counting my post even in off topic, but I see I'm not the only one having the same problems.

Greetings from admin land.  Hi There

Opps Okay, here's the deal. A few days back we changed the options on the board so that all posts in the off topic category don't add to your post count. I'm sorry that I didn't think to make an announcement about it.

We came to this decision because the point of having the board at all is to discuss Mattfic. The member rankings should reflect who is contributing relevant on-topic posts to the various conversations on a regular basis.

Online We want people to make an effort to discuss the stories, first and foremost. That's also why we have been pruning some threads and moving some comments to the off-topic section. It's all in an effort to keep OTR comments about OTR, so that people who want to find out what other readers thought about Patrick and Jordan's relationship don't have to hunt and peck for related posts, wading through long conversations about someone's childhood ballet lessons or shoveling snow in Colorado.

We understand that sometimes you just want to hang out and get to know each other and talk about common interests that might not revolve around Matthew (if you're into that sort of thing), so post to your heart's content in any of the off-topic threads.

But it doesn't add to the post count because it doesn't make any sense to become a high-ranking member on a gay erotic fiction message board by making hundreds of posts about how cute your cat is when he's sleeping.

So to sum up:
     1) Contribute relevant thoughts, opinions, and comments in the appropriate threads to earn higher rankings.  Cheesy
     
     2) Hang out and talk about sports cars to make friends.  Group Hug

Besides, we love you no matter what rank you are.  Group Love
