Not sure if this is the right place for this but I figured someone can tell me this info. What the titles mean under peoples names. Such as Plebeian, Legionary, etc. Think that 100 posts is a Plebeian. But not sure. Any answers would be appreciated.

Plebian, Legionary, and Gladius are titles depending on how many posts you have.

Gladiator is the title given to a select few who have won national level competitions or are highly recognized.

Pros are the people sponsored by Universal and are professionals in their respective competition.

Watchmen are the mods for the board. Henchmen are those that mods without the powers, basically helpers keeping a watchful eye.

ABC (Animal Barbell Club) titles are also given out. Coordinators, regional chairmen, national chairmen, recruiters, etc.

I've noticed I'm not a 'Plebian' anymore when I post.

Have I had my status revoked, or is there something up with my account?

Not a big problem either way, just curious.

Thanks.

That's a good thing, brother! I don't know the number off the top of my head, but you lose your 'plebian' status after a certain number of posts.

As far as I can work out, you start with nothing then became a Plebian after a hundred or so posts, then stay one until you get to 500, maybe 1000. I'm only at 130-ish so just wondering why it suddenly disappeared?

But yes, Plebian isn't the nicest title I've ever had bestowed upon me!

Yeah like I said, I can't remember the actual number in which it goes away. But over time, as your post count grows, you'll notice new 'tags' under your name. Personally, I don't even take notice of 'em.

You know, it's funny. I noticed something weird things too. In fact, I saw a title I had never seen before. Can't remember what it is though. Maybe they changed up what the titles are and when you get it?

Just checked. The new title is "Pilus" and it looks like you get it at 5,000 posts now. I'm guessing the Plebian minimum has been upped, but I'm not sure. A Watchman would probably know.

I just hit "The Legion" button up top and looked at the members based on post counts. You can roughly see where the titles come into play, at what post count. Looks like Gladius is next for me at post 2500.

From Wiki: "Gladius is a Latin word for sword."

I can't decide if having this Roman-based titles is cheesy or cool, lol. But it's in keeping with the name of this place, the forvm (as in the central public space in every Roman town where people came together).

I think it's quite cool. Well, I did until I lost my Plebeian status, dammit!

Yeah someone upped the number of posts needed for each category. Where legendary was at 500 it is now 1000. I was legendary and was bumped back to Plebeian.

And I would bet almost 100% of those 2,540 are only in the special "Promo" threads.

Interesting bit of info there!
