What I mean by self-ranks are the rankings you guys give yourself after reaching 1000 posts.

I came up with "Paragon" from the XBox 360 game, Mass Effect. In the game, a paragon is a team player, a true leader, and cares more about other people than himself/herself. The other ranking in the game is a renegade, which is the opposite. It was all I could think of at the time. :roll:

But anyway, tell me about where you all came up with your self-ranks or what self-rank you are considering, once you reach 1000 posts! :)

I like Star Trek and I admire the Borg Queen - she's one of my two favourite female characters, together with Terminatrix.

The Oncoming Storm is the name by which the Doctor is referred to in the Myths of the Daleks (and several other races).

Originally, they called him: The Ka Faraq Gatri (which I used for a little while before deciding it was too obscure). It means Bringer of Darkness and/or Destroyer of Worlds.

Not sure why they changed it.

I also considered "Time's Champion" which mostly refers to the 7th Doctor but it's a bit to snobbish.

I used to be "Gung-ho Iguana", which came from a line in The Last Starfighter.

"Shop Smart: Shop S-Mart" comes from Army of Darkness.

My self-rank "Away in the clouds..."

I chose that because well, I love clouds :)...especially storm clouds.
It has another meaning aswell. I am often day-dreaming and people say that day-dreamers are "away in the clouds".

Whenever I change my avatar, I change my location, sig and rank as well.

I chose Metroid because I'm really into Metroid at the moment.

Where your's says pheonix.

At 1000 posts you can go to account, change profile.
An option box is there somewhere where you can write in a 'self title'.

I used to have Bicycle Repair Man as my rank but I changed it when I changed my profile. A planned rank I had was The Original One but before I reached 1000 posts I changed my avatar to Metroid Prime 3 so chose the rank bounty hunter.
