I am not sure where I am/was supposed to post this, but how does one gain ranks? Secondly, Great site.
It's by number of posts.
<49 = newbie
50-99 = jr. member
100-249 = full member
250-499 = senior member
>500 = hero member
but please PLEASE do not post for the sake of just raising your post count.
Sure thing, thanks!
i miss the old names for the ranks personally...
So do I.
Too bad we lost them.
The old names? What names?
We had these music-themed videogame names for ranks.
For example, er....
(HELP I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY)
Wait, lemme guess
Magus Minion
Magus Fighter
Magus General
Magus
That is the most epic system I could think of.(rofl)

Too bad we lost them.
Is there any way we could get them back?
Only way would be to come up with them again.
Unless someone here has an infinite memory and has them all memorized.
None of the extremely old or archived topics even mention them?
Extremely old topics have been wiped out.
Twice.
I think it's not that important. The names are quite okay in my opinion.
Nah, they're lame.
We should make them, like...
Ordianary guy
Quite cool guy
Awesome guy
Super awesome guy
Like, totally awesome 'n' stuff guy.
We're talking about improving the rank names.
I would go for...
Typesetter.
Apprentice Arranger.
Arranger.
Apprentice Composer.
Composer.
Something along those lines.
Bad idea. I'm up to the 3rd level, and I haven't got a single arrangement on this site.
Then we should have a ranking for how many arrangements we submitted. Along with how may posts we make.
YES, once, or course, we can start submitting again.
^^Well, wouldn't be very fair, though. Look at GreekGeek for instance, he has a good 40 files in his thread, all good arrangements, but none of them are on the site yet. With the "only one submission at a time"-rule, it will take him four years (with monthly updates) to get up them all, and ranks would progress very slowly for everyone as well.
The "post count gives ranks" system works well, but we should have a "no life"-rank obtained at 10,000 posts.
I think the rule is there so that we don't get a bunch of crappy pieces all at once per say, and secondly, I think if a persons arrangements are good, then he will be allowed to submit more, more quickly. And just an idea, I think we should have a page for video game compositions. (If we do, let us hope we don't get too many battle themes)
The old system was great, nothing is going to top it. How about we not care about ranks until after the rest of the site is fixed?

Agreed. Gotta look at the big picture first. =P

NSM has got a page like that. But like "GreekGeek's Compositions". But it's in an obscure area of this forum, where people never come, so it doesn't work. I've got like 15 video game compositions, but as long as no one is gonna watch that part of the site, I won't update them.
If it were on the main page(not forums) I would surely look at them ;D

Haha, but there isn't much interesting on the main page ATM ;) So check the forums out too ;D
I am trying to, but it would still be much easier ;D

Actually, you can go to www.archive.org and find web pages that were deleted. I found the nsm forums from a while ago, and they have the cool names. I can try and piece together what they were. I found a couple such as Star Fox Salsa, King K. Rool Rap, and Ridley's Requim.

DURRR dats what da big shinee ding izzzzzzzz
No. I mean how, from the site, do you activate the plasma beam that destroys the wall that may allow me access through to the holy grail of archiveness.
I am lazy
You are lazy...here. Use this one, lazy boy.
http://web.archive.org/web/*/ninsheetmusic.net
Yay
You're welcome.
ok... this is what i can vaguely remember of the old positions with generalized post counts to the left made via some recollection and some problem solving... some of them i just know are in a general area hence the (/s) and there may be some that are out of order but yeah...
0-25 - Blank Manuscript Paper
25-50 (?) - Video game midi
50-100 - Bombchu Bolero/Sanctuary Serenade
100-150 - Lapras Lullaby
150-200 - Cheep Cheep Chorus
200-250 - Fuzzy Fugue/Ridley’s Requiem
250-300 - Ballad of the Belmonts
300-350 - King K. Rool Rap
350-400 - Elite 4 Elegy/Birdo’s Ballet
400-450 - no clue...
450-500 - Angel Island Aria

1000+ (from here on i can only remember a handful... cause' there weren't that many with 1000+ posts)
Sonic Ska
Ordon Overture
Dracula’s Dance
Jake compiled a list and sent it to Jamaha, you two should compare.
You can go to archive.org, type in ninsheetmusic.net, then go to the early 2008 forums. You can't go to all of the topics, but you can go to some.
Yay I found EG's E-mail \o/
Quote from: blah54 on May 17, 2009, 12:45:54 PM750-800 - Pokemon Polka
Why would anyone want that title...?
I found a bunch of positions in the archive. Blah has some I don't have, but I also have some he doesn't have. Plus, I could only find the positions, not how many posts you needed to become that position. Using his list and mine, I came up with an updated list:
0-24 - Blank Manuscript Paper
25-49 - Video game midi
50-74 - Bombchu Bolero
75-99 - Sanctuary Serenade
100-149 - Lapras Lullaby
150-174 - Cheep Cheep Chorus
175-199 - Ridley’s Requiem
200-249 - Fuzzy Fugue
250-299 - Ballad of the Belmonts
300-324 - King K. Rool Rap
325-349 - Elite 4 Elegy
350-399 - Birdo’s Ballet
400-449 - ???
450-499 - Angel Island Aria
500-549 - Star Fox Salsa
550-599 - Hyrule Hymn
600-649 - Nintendo Nocturne
650-699 - ???
700-749 - Kirby Chorale
750-799 - Pokemon Polka
800-849 - Mushroom Minuet
850-899 - Sheik’s Symphony
900-949 - Robotnik Rock
950-999 - Flashman Funk
1000-1199 - Rupee Ragtime
1200-1399 - Sonic Ska
1400-1599 - Ordon Overture
1600-1799 - Samus Sonata
1800-1999 - Dracula's Dance
2000+ - Corneria Concert
This is slightly altered from what I have in my notes. Like, I found someone that was Dracula's Dance but had 1723 posts, but it is too hard to try and find out when exactly you upgrade from one to the next, and this is just easier.

Why would anyone want that title...?
Because Pokémon music is cool (and doesn't have polka music?)
Each rank had one more star than the previous, with Blank Manuscript Paper having none.
I'm counting 29 stars which....isn't a round number. So I'm guessing we're missing either 1 or 11 ranks. Joy.
It's actually archive.org, and here's the link to "take you in the past."
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ninsheetmusic.net
It has links going back to 2006.
Why don't we make it so Black Manuscript Paper have one star? We may be missing one rank but it still works. And plus, I think I know how to fill in those empty spots. It seems weird that everything goes by fifty in the middle except for cheep cheep chorus and King K. Rool Rap, which go by 25. We could make those go by fifty, eliminating those two empty spaces.
For one, Corneria Concert won't be fitting for the final rank.
At all.
But I think it was the final rank. Elite Guardian had it and he had 2027 posts.

Holy Lord.
He got that many from April to December! Only 8 months....
That's sick. He must have been three times as spammy as we are atm.
Wait, didn't Forum Games posts count toward your count at that point?
There were higher. I know it.

nah... he was just around for a very long time, we've only had one true spammer on this forum and everyone knows who he was...
Hahaha, I don't, but did the games count? Because if they did I'd be rank 3 by now
There might be a reason for why they don't count.
Remember how Dekudude made that magic bar thing in place of stars?
And I found what it looked like when you filled it up within minutes?
REVIVAL!
Right, I'd really like to get the old ranks back in action. However, we're missing 2 ranks in the middle and the final rank. Using jake's list below as reference, come up with the missing ranks and we're good to go.
So, suggestions? Anyone?

Terminia Tango
Earthbound Etude
Something better than Earthbound for the Etude perhaps, but there's a few.
You mean Termina? Or is Terminia from something else?
Yeah. I couldn't remember.
Koopa King's ......Concerto?..... Kalypso?......i dont know many words that can start with "K", or "C"...that would be the right type....
Carnival, maybe? hmm...... >_> just tryin to think of stuff........
I like Termina Tango, and suggest Star Fox Salsa.
It's already there :|
AHGGGH!!!! Somebody stole my idea!
Shoot. How 'bout, "Ike-a Klina Nacht Music"?
Termina Tango it is.
Two more to go.
You don't have a "March" or "Reprise", you can make something along those lines... right?
Plus, you can have a "transcription", or an "arrangment" as a response to the blank manuscript paper.
Just some ideas I had while reading through the posts.
METROID MARCH
WOO. That makes only one remaining!
I don't believe there is an Etude up there, so that's another thing missing.
EDIT: Epona Etude
Well, the one we're missing is the final rank which has to be something fancy.
We can just bump one of the other ones up.
Right, I'm done.
Adjusted a few, removed some etc.
Enjoy.
Can you please post the full list somewhere?
Also, don't you think all the stars get in the way? Isn't there a way you can change, say, 5 little stars into one large one, so it doesn't look so cluttered?
And the change appears to have killed Tranzlater's penguin avy. It's now gone, and Ctrl+F5 doesn't help. Oh well... ::)
Go and make a magic bar or something like we used to have. That would work. But you have to do it.
Me? There's no way I'd be able to pull that off, I suck at coding.
Uh. It was just a bunch of images.
We didn't use "song"?
Song is boring, maaan.
Fuzzy Fugue sounds like some kind of medical condition.
Quote from: Sir Awesomesauce on July 13, 2009, 05:17:07 PMWe didn't use "song"?
If you want, lieder does mean song...
This new system is confusing.
Just 40 more posts until a rank with a halfway cool name!
I think it's kinda cool actually ;D
Well, I screwed up.
Blank Manuscript Paper isn't meant to have a star....so each rank has one star too many now. I think we all know what that means...
Reposting...

I've got the coolest rank name of them all! I wish it was permanent.
Ok. Never post again.
^That made me laugh.
Quote from: jake3343 on July 14, 2009, 08:19:04 AMThe new ranks are awesome.
Now my feedback is in the right topic.
In the words of DDR, GOOD JOB!!!
Last Rank: The Final Boss: Symphonia Major, or Ultima Symponic, or, Ultima Anthem, or The Final Theme, or The Theme Above Every Theme, or...

the last rank should be swan song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_song
