CodeIgniter’s forum member ranks
Ever wondered what those member ranks in CodeIgniter’s forum were all about and how to get one? Well there’s a little back-story posted by Derek Jones from EllisLab, Inc. (creators of CodeIgniter).
[...] But our forum activity has increased so much in the past 1-2 years that there are now many people with over 1000 posts, and some above 2500, 5000, 10000, etc. It seemed time to add some new ranks in to accommodate the upper tiers, but the current names bore me. They should be fun, but not goofy, and should work well for both ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter users, and other communities we might have as EllisLab creates them. Hence, the lab metaphor.
And here is a full table of member ranks on CodeIgniter’s forums:
| 0 | Summer Student |
| 30 | Grad Student |
| 100 | Lab Assistant |
| 300 | Research Assistant |
| 1000 | Lab Technician |
| 2500 | Sr. Research Associate |
| 5000 | Research Scientist |
| 10000 | ????? |
