Okay, three new ranks have been added: Festival Masks ( ), Avatar Kyoshi, and the final rank whom's name will probably change because it sounds like they're a band; The Avatars. Sorry to everyone who just jumped down a rank or two. D: Speaking of which though, because the forum/posting is slowing down and there's at least close to a dozen of new rank sprites that would be added (in the possible near future when I finish making them), it's most likely that a lot of members would be stuck hovering around the same three sprite ranks whenever new ranks are added. So: should the amount of posts between ranks be lowered again? The majority of ranks are spaced by 250 posts, but what if they were at 150 apart, or even 100? I ran the numbers and the current ranks would run out around 13500 or 9500 depending on the post spacing and how much I suck at counting, but more sprites would quickly fill it out. New ranks would still push you guys down quite a bit of ranks though, but at least it'd be quicker to move on to a new rank? I don't know, but let me know what you think.

I like the idea of lowering the gaps. People generally get more excited to post when they are getting closer to a rank change (or at least I did, I remember growing tired of the many Aangs). It might even encourage some activity if people are that into ranks.
Also, the more ranks, the merrier. =)
The Avatars seems like a decent name too. I can't think of any other suitable name, really. Seems great for a "God" rank or whatnot.

I like the sound of The Avatars as a rank. But it does sound like a band name...
On the subject of reducing the gap between minimum number of posts from one rank to the next, that sounds like a good idea. Things have slowed down since Avatar ended, so it doesn't really make sense to require people to have X number of posts for Y rank when they may not be able to make that many in a single month.

I agree with gacs. Lowering the range would be a good thing, and it would make it easier for people to change ranks, because a lot of people like to change ranks, and post just to change.

Alrighty then! I'll go edit the ranks & put them at 100 posts apart for now and see how that works out.
Ok, all done. I lengthened the last three ranks so the Avatars rank would clock out at 10K, but I'll work on more sprites that would go near the end of the list for those in the quintuple digits.
"The Avatar Cycle" could work for the rank name; I'll think about it.

Oh, I love your new Kyoshi sprite, Jade. Kyoshi's pose is really awesome. =D And the Festival sprites are great, too. I personally think 10k+ is a bit low as last rank on a forum where a lot of people have high postcounts. Highest one is 17,723 and to think that Luna had more than 20k back in the day. But seeing more sprites will come and therefore be pushed to 15k+, it's not much of a problem. Well, it actually isn't a problem anyways so... Edit: I just noticed. On the members' profile the "Avatars" rank goes Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yanchen and Aang, but shouldn't it be in this order: Yanchen, Kuruk, Kyoshi, Roku and Aang? Or in the way it's on the first page of this thread which is the other way around. It just seems more logical that way. ^^;

Thanks Kohana! ^^ And I agree; ending at 10k was like WHUT. But I didn't think having the ranks being 150 apart would make enough of a difference during this slow posting period, and I wasn't too sure about having the last 5-10 ranks being at 250-500 posts apart in order to put the Avatar rank much much higher. Unless the Search Members feature is not showing everything, there's only maybe 8 people or less (not counting staff) that has over 9000 10,000 posts. So my current plan is to pump out a bunch of Season 1 & 2 sprites to fill in the early/middle ranks to push the final ranks higher, as well as making some high-rank sprites like.... Won Shi Tong and.... um.... UFO Aang. Oh! Lionturtle too. Horyo has also suggested animated sprites for final ranks as well. avatar rank: I tried to have it go new -> old but since there's usually only 4 sprites per row that would put Yangchen on the second row, which seems kinda strange to me so I put Aang down there instead. The top order should be switched though so it does read more clearly. I'll take care of that now. ^^

I love all the sprites! My favorites are the finale masks, Agni Kai Ozai, and the fiery Azula and Zuko (and I've always loved fiery Ozai). I like the name "disgruntled Azula" too. lol I like being able to switch ranks more easily now. Can't wait to see more!

I think the ultimate sprite would be the lion turtle, and that should be the very highest ranking one, because the lion turtle is the wisest creature on Earth(or wherever it is tht avatar takes place).

ATTN STAFF. My very real status of trash bin overloard has not been put in place. If I don't get my stick figure sprites soon I'm just going to have to quit. Just as well, so far I've had to lock almost every thread!Oh btw, nice sprites, and I feel like a loser for having the top ones so thanks for showing me I have no life.

I think the top big rank should be the Lion Turtle, when his eyes were glowing and all. Maybe Avatar Aang (From his Avatar state in the last episode)

I like the Avatars as the last rank. I just wish I could be refugee Sokka now. (And there's a typo at the Blue Spirit Rank - it says 1,199 instead of 2,199 >.> lol)

You're welcome. It confused me for a minute and I felt dumb. XD

Ha, whoops! xD;; Thanks for catching that!
I agree that the Avatar rank should be last, so the Lion Turtle would probably go before Cosmic Aang while UFO Aang goes after Phoenix Ozai. ....And then the animated sprites would all go somewhere between them?
Been working on a bunch of the Season 1-2 sprites for the early/mid half of the ranks though, so there should be a rank update in a few weeks.
