Forum ranking for supporters?

[CalliopeSoul]

Although I like that I have my fancy "supporter" forum badge now, I kind of miss watching my "pumpkin rank" go up as I make more posts. Could there maybe still be a ranking thing like that for supporters? Or am I being greedy?

I like it how it is, it's almost like a staff rank

I also kinda miss the cute pumpkin rank XD
Perhaps the pumpkins can be a different colour, to separate the supporters and other users? :3

Okay, so, I don't know quite how it works on this forum, but I've ran many forums myself in the past, and, from my experience, giving a singular Group (what Supporters are) Ranks (what Members have) is very difficult

You see, they're two separate things in most forum builds - Members get Ranks, because they're part of the default group, and thus have no Group like the staff or, in this case, the Supporters. Defining Ranks for a Group is very difficult in most forum builds, and requires a convoluted system that somehow keeps everyone in the same Group yet also puts them in Hidden Groups, which define their rank

As I said, I don't know what this forum looks like behind the scenes, but if it's anything like the ones I've worked with, it's too much effort and roundabout working for minimum benefit
