What is the "Upright" under my username?

filtherton · 10-27-2008, 08:08 PM

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

Halx · 10-27-2008, 08:09 PM

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.

ketch90 · 10-27-2008, 08:10 PM

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

Dixy · 10-29-2008, 05:54 AM

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?

Cynthetiq · 10-29-2008, 05:56 AM

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.

ratbastid · 10-29-2008, 06:08 AM

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.

Halx · 10-29-2008, 06:29 AM

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.

The_Jazz · 10-29-2008, 06:54 AM

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

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

Amaras · 10-29-2008, 07:19 AM

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

MSD · 11-11-2008, 08:28 PM

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!

Daniel_ · 11-12-2008, 02:00 PM

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

ketch90 · 11-14-2008, 07:00 AM

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