A software program called Fireboard runs this discussion board. It provides a ranking system to monitor activity by all participants on this site. The system refers to participants as Boarders. It allows the administrator to assign appropriate names for each level (i.e., number of messages posted) of Boarders.
You will notice these names, with the designated number of small boxes beneath them, under your name next to the messages you post.
Following is the C4OA's ranking system for discussion board activity:
Tenderfoot Boarder - 0 to 19 posts
Apprentice Boarder - 20 to 49 posts
Technician Boarder - 50 to 99 posts
Chief Clerk Boarder - 100 to 199 posts
Chief Coiner Boarder - 200 to 399 posts
Assayer/Melter/Refiner Boarder - 400 to 999 posts
Superintendent Boarder - 1,000 or more posts
If someone exceeds 1,000 posts, perhaps we'll coin a new name for that level of participation.
So get busy and start posting more messages, especially you Tenderfoots.
HAPPY BOARDING!
C4OA Lifer!
