Dena and I had a meeting about 3 months ago, and racked our brains over this.  The rankings were not changing with the post count like they used to.  As it turns out, I believe they turned into achievements instead of post counts, and we don't use achievements.  So, we did away with the rankings, and now everyone is listed as a member.  @dena might be able to explain it better but, that is the way I (my old brain)  remembers it.

So no more custom titles?  Well that's no fun!

Custom titles still exist.  You have not received one (yet)  hm  The rankings are gone.  On a side note, I see we all just lost our join date.  I have alerted web help to try and fix this asap.

So this has nothing to do with removing the main qualifier that creates a hierarchy on the boards, huh?

No more "hey look, they've been here 10, 15 years, they likely have "some" knowledge or contributing input. Now there's no way to tell if the three people having the conversation are shill accounts created in the last 6 months.

Seems the decision was made because ultimately it helps CGC maintain conversations here, not helping users determine information.

Mike,

I also have not received a custom title and would like one.

Thank you.
