Yep things have changed now. Creating an account and the going away for years and then coming back, expecting it to have ranked up is now like just lying on top of a woman expecting the earthquake to do the job, It's not gonna work without any effort
LOL you see I'm not an idiot.
Just wanted to say that I learned something new.
The issue of account rank for me doesn't matter LOL
That is one of your longest posts, to date. Wow, DavidPham!! Three sentences.
Maybe if you created some posts that were more than just a few words each, then some members might recognize you as someone who is contributing to the substance of whatever thread in which you decide to post?
I don't buy it that you do not care at all about your rank because otherwise you would not have posted in this topic and make your observation about your current "newbie" rank/status.
By the way, I do agree with any underlying premise that you might have been suggesting that in order to participate in the forum, including reading posts, your rank does not matter one bit for those kinds of activities; however, even though I have not been obsessed with my own personal rank, I have found that there can be some value in being taken more seriously by members when you have earned some merits (rank, etc.)... And, for example, if you are recognized in the forum, then sometimes other members will be very helpful in answering many questions that you might have, even if they are convoluted or weird...... and sometimes there can be some value, in a forum like this, to be able to bring up certain topics or even to hone in on certain ideas and get people to want to respond to your questions and to take some of your points, somewhat seriously... especially if they are related to bitcoin, but sometimes there might be some desires to touch upon some other topics, too.
I will agree that rank is not the be all end all, even if it brings some credibility and status within the forum......
