What do they all mean?

nothing.

Why are they there? Do they change or are they just randomly assigned when we join WP?

Its a way of designating rank by participation and seniority.

After 1000 you're a 'veteran'.

Seeing as some Aspies can fire off 1000 posts in relatively short time , its a bit of a misnomer

True, some of us take a lot longer/more days to do the same number of posts as others.


It says I have done the same number of posts for each one in this thread. I started this topic at 394 and the last one I did also said the same number. Does it change per new topic or something?

Every post has your current post count ( not the number it was when you originally posted it ) ,

Post again , all your posts will be 395 then , and you will be closer to being a veteran

Edit: i explained that really badly and can't work out another way to put it at the moment , hope you understand

It said 394 for several posts. I will post this time to see the number go up.

You'll be a "veteran" in 105 posts.

It's to encourage more posting.

However most forums I've been on discouraged spamming to increase post count and even lowered the post counts of those they felt were doing so. Also posting in game threads didn't add to post count.

I didn't see pheonix on mine. It went straight to veteran.
