Arenafoot Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I see PacMan logos were added recently under everyone's avatar in this forum and was wondering.... how many different logo's are there? and what item is added to the member after how many posts? less than 10 = nothing after 10 = PacMan after 25?= cherries after 50 = strawberry after 100?150? = orange I'm guessing Justin and/or one of the mods will be able to answer this one...........

Justin Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Okay guys, here's how it all breaks out: = Banana Member = 2,500+ = Pear Member = 1,000 = Apple Member = 500 = Pretzel Member = 300There's a story behind everything else below that point, it's a little mystery for you to figure out so we're going to leave it that way Members start out as a "Newbie" with 0 posts and no rank pips. It's only after a few posts that Pac-Man decides to show up! This way it's a little easier to spot somebody who's brand new to the forums so we can roll out the welcome wagon for them. After that point, the first four rank pips begin to accrue fairly rapidly - Pac Man, Cherry, Strawberry, and Orange.I really wanted the rank pips to be a rewarding experience, and to feel like a scoring methodology in a video game. Instead of multiple Atari "Fuji" logos under the member avatar, or the same image over and over again, the player is rewarded with something new that feels like a power-up or a reward for hard work. We want the forums to feel creative, different and fun, and we thought the Pac-Man rank pips worked out nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'd also like to add that we have a few other icons that may appear. They aren't often seen yet, though I created them when I created the site with the hopes that they would lead to a better community. = Denotes the Member is a Verified Vendor in good standing.

Arenafoot Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I became a Quadrunner on Atariage yesterday!! I was curious, when you become a Banana Member here do you get the ability to change your member title above your avatar like you can on atariage when getting Quadrunner ranking? I think its after the Apple or Pear level actually here...........
