  Ranks are not simply based upon post counts. From the FAQ:
  
  
  

  How do you calculate my rank?

  
  

  Ranks are calculated every day at 2:00AM EST.  They are only based on the last 30 days of data.  We look at the following factors when determining your rank:

  • How many days you visited the site (and logged in).  This is also counted when you use our "autologin" feature.
    
  • How much information you have posted in our forums (not the amount of posts)
    
  • The quality of your posts.  If you post lot of "filler" posts that only consist of a few words this will cost you rank points.
    
  • Any posts of yours that had to be deleted will cost you 5 rank points (there are only 100 total).  To prevent your posts from being deleted, please obey our Rules of Conduct.

  Interesting,  i too was wondering this factoid.

   

  

  It is ridiculous claiming that video games influence children. For instance, if Pac-Man affected kids born in the 80's, we should by now have a bunch of teenagers who run around darkened rooms and eat pills while listening to monotonous music!
