Default Rank Alternatives (Need your help)

In a word, the default ranks that come with this site "suck". I want to create a new ranking scheme but one that's better structured than the ranks at the old site. Quite honestly, I was never a big fan of the ranks there either but I couldn't come up with viable alternatives which I'm still struggling with.

I'm asking for your help in creating a new ranking scheme that:

- tiers user ranks via post count as before.
- compliments Lifesupporters theme or direction.

I've considered ranks such as:

In utero
Infant
Toddler
Child
Tween
Teen
Young Adult
Adult
Middle age
Olden fogies
Fossil
Oil

...but thought better of it as there not exactly complimentary.

Any ideas on rank alternatives that are far less offensive than what I've listed above?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Ken

Up to Adult is okay.

After that ....

Experienced Adult
Executive
Silver
Gold
Platinum ... if you need such a rating

A little less uncomplimentary but still along the vein of life.

I'm not bothered about rankings but I've had a go: maybe newby, something for the middle (brain not working), veteran. Or you could try and do a simlar theme but based around life events, particularly school eg just born, pre schooler, 1st grader....... mid life crisis....

Mid-life crisis, yeah I like that one. I am already there. It sucks big time too.

Whatever happened to this thread Duke? Have you come up with ranks yet? Still need some input? I haven't come up with anything else yet. Sorry.

This thread was meant to be a "blue sky" discussion on alternatives but I've yet to decide on anything. I really love the input gathered but I'm not entirely sure how much our collective ideas work.

I'd rather give this a bit more time for everyone to mull over because it takes time to create the rank images and I'd hate to do it more than once.

Also, I really need to get the main site online and it's not going well at all.

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Wish I knew a way to help. I will keep thinking about rank names. Can they be goofy? Or would you prefer a more serious tone?

I don't think goofy names are a good idea. Maybe goofy titles would be cool but ranks need to be a bit more serious IMHO.

Okay, goofy is out. I will hopefully think of something more than I have already done. Have a nice evening. I am going to bed now.
