I always saw people with tags next to their name such as :
spacefaring
sentient
aware
multicellular
industrial
etc.
What does this mean, and how do I join?
thats a general metric of how much you interact with the forum. i’d recommend liking posts, making good posts that get liked, making topics, and generally being a productive forum user. they are based off the stages of thrive.
Edit: this is clearly wrong and the number of likes it has (earned me a second “nice reply”) is leading me to believe it’s giving people incorrect info and I don’t want to misinform people so uh, read down a bit.
so to go up the stages, I need to be more active?
theres like post milestones that you can achieve, for example industrial at 500 posts, and stuff like that.
Let me pull up the list
Rank | New | Microbial | Multicellular | Aware | Sentient | Tribal | Industrial | Spacefaring | Ascended |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Post count | 0 | 3 | 10 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 5000 |
Read time | 0 | 15 | 30 | 120 | 240 | 480 | 481 | 482 | 483 |
Yes, they are a metric of how many posts you did
speedrun ascended
Actually, no, and never.
Why not make topic only made to farm posts?
You just described almost all of #forum-games (I’m only partly joking)
Only the weak needs a specific topic to farm posts
Post-farming infection across multiple topics is pro’s way of leveling up?
Is anyone even ascended?
Not yet. In a few years hhyyrylainen will prolly be there.
I wonder if ascended will have diffrent colour, maybe purple
It probably does have one
I didn’t actually bother, but once I ascend, maybe I’ll add the custom colour then. Currently if anyone was ascended they’d be the same colour as spacefaring, which is pretty appropriate as being spacefaring is already quite an achievement.
What does read time mean?
How much time you have been reading in the forums.
