Ive been on these for forums for a little over a year now, on and off. But recently on thanks to New Vegas....I would have to say that Bethesda forums are my favorite by far, mostly because I love there games and it seems like the community is a bit more lax here, unlike say for example, oh and I dont know, Infinity Ward forums AKA Hell on Earth.

I normally read more than I post, so you probably dont know me. But there is one thing that ive always wondered, what do the little ranks mean next to your name? From what Ive seen, Ive deduced that it apparently has something to do with the amount you post. (For Example, A user who has been around since Morrowind is a Patriarch) but then you also have these star things under there names.....It appears that I have been at Adept for quite a long time know. Care to help me out anyone?

All is explained in the forum rules pinned at the top of every forum.

You have a way to go yet before you get your first star, but not to worry - I haven't got any either.
