I don't know about ranks. We'd get a lot of people making pointless posts to rank up. There could be a rule against it, but I still don't think it's an incredible idea. I would like post count under our names, though.
Hai guise. I'm new to the forums, but I've had the game for a little while. I usually go by SgtAsh in the game. (Ash is my real name, I'm not using the anime character's name) It's a really noobish question, but how do I change my avatar without using gravatar? Kthxbai.
