I've been thining of changing the Alpha Flight rank to kick in @ 150 posts, rather than 100, but I'm sill on the fence about that.
It was suggested that I assign a special rank to the person with the first letter published in the new Alpha Flight series, I will do this, and I will probably also make a separate rank set for anyone who gets a letter published :)

Well it took me 4 days to get to Beta Flight so soon enough I'll be an official Alpha Flight member in good standing. Hey did anyone realize that me an Guardian James Hudson were both born in the same city. Yep I'm from London, Ontario.
I'm curoius, as no one commented on the fact that I'm thinking of changing the number of posts for the Alpha Flight rank, are there any objections to my doing so?
Not here. Your forum, your rules. If I get PO'd I'll let ya know (more'n likely off-panel)Quote:

I don't mind if you change the number of posts for a rank. I'll get there eventually. I have around 1500 posts on one messageboard I go to. So I'll get to the top rank that I can get sometime. Plus I don't really come here just to get a rank anyway but to talk to others that like Alpha Flight like I do.
Well, I'm slowly making my way to to Alpha Flight status. If the points increase, than it just means I have to work a little while longer. No biggie.

That's the attitude I like to hear :) It has been changed, if anyone hates me for it...please forgive me :) The rank of Alpha Flight can now be reached at 150 posts
Aw man!!! A HUNDRED points?? What a jip!!!!!Quote:

Does this mean I'm back in Beta? *looks*
*EDIT* I am :p Why was I downgraded? :shock:
Sorry Puck! I think you were the only one that got demoted! Look at it as...retraining...8 posts and yer back to Alpha :!:
Don't worry...I haven't been posting/training for ages!!!I deserve it! :wink:
I noticed that. I though all these wonderful new members might have scared you off! Ether that or you have developed a terrible phobia for cupboards. You keep training, then well see if you are deserving of Alpha Flight status! :wink:
Well I'm almost half way there. I'm a half Alphan. :lol: By next week I'll be up to a fully trained battle ready Alphan. i'll be ready to take on The Master single handly. Yep no problem. :shock:
