Forum Question
 

What is the "Upright" under my username?

It means upright, as in The Upright Citizens Brigade. You're on the level, and your title reflects that fact.

It is your user title or rank. You'll notice that the more you participate, your title will change. Eventually, you'll be able to customize it yourself.

Nice avatar, by the way. I love xkcd. I wish more people I knew understood the humor.

I see. Thats cool, I'm gonna have to post more.

I see the statistics does not show the posts in the "Nonsense" forum. If I want a "higher" rank, then I need to post in other, more serious, fora as well?

there are a few forums that do not count posts, nonsense is one of them. it's up to you to discover where to contribute and how that contribution makes the community better.

But you should know, we don't take rank all that seriously around here. There's a level you reach where a few more things open up to you, but don't worry about that--just participate and have a good time.

Good point, ratbastid. We don't really care all that much about your rank. We don't show post counts next to your name for a reason. All that matters here is the quality of your posts.

What?! We have ranks?! Since when?!

Heh. I think I'm funny anyway... :)

Some folks are rank, some folks have rank. Meh.

It changes if you post while lying down. We have ways of knowing these things

i always wondered what "upright" meant. the problem is that i post a lot from bed and i´m lying down - there is a flaw in the matrix!

It's mis-spelling. It's supposed to say "Up Tight" because you ask too damned many questions. :p

I see, that must be it. Because we college students can be very uptight :rolleyes:
