I consider this over and done with but also realise there may be someone who absolutely has to have the last word, so have at it, get it off your chest whoever you are. So be it. Whew, glad that's over with. Currently we have 11 different rankings that we Admins have created. As ordained by ProBoards, these ranks are matriculated by Post Count, and nothing else. I and my cohorts can change the default intervals, but that's it. (The last time we changed those intervals was somewhere around 11 years ago.)
However, we can also create "Groups". Groups can be made to look like a ranking, thanks to the ProBoards software. So we created two special groups to commemorate some now departed members, as a way of thanking them for their contributions. Mentor Emeritus has one member, and you'll see us refer to him more than occasionally, he left that indelible an impression on us. ChrisK passed away in Feb of 2010, and yet we still invoke his name as if he were here today. Mentor has two members, UnklMickey and 4real . We cite them when topics near and dear to them come up, but that's not nearly so often as ChrisK .
I don't advise wishing to attain their status, the only entrance requirement is that one must first pass away.

Julian asked: At post #25, one attains the next rank, "apprentice shielder". The increments to the next rank increase progressively from there. Your 4000th post makes you a "Mod Master of the Universe". So, stick around.
