I hope the member rating system is done away with. It looks like a complete waste of resources . . . and since members can disable the viewing of their "rating", it becomes useless anyway.
I also agree 100% with LWK, the member ranks that were made up are a lot of fun. The recent addition of tons of ranks by Mouse Master was really cool, added a lot of variety to the forums! I'm sure he spent a lot of time getting the new ranks in place, and I for one really appreciate it!
