While we're on names.
When did the site adopt the Navy Rank designations for posting levels?
Was this recent?
I see admins and founders stayed the same.
Was this in the past few days or am I just oblivious?

Well Admiral ( Laughing

), I was looking around for something to do (always a risky development) and ran with an old idea that we had kicked around a bit a LONG time ago. Just for fun and I thought you forum members might be amused.

I've split this into its own topic so as not to hijack the original... Wink

I think it is a good idea. It probably will generate jealousy among those listed for the lower ranks.

Master Chief is quite impressive and it reminds me of what my buddy who left the Navy as an EOD Lt. Commander told me years ago.

He said I would have made a good Chief. Isn't that a bit condescending coming from a buddy who is an officer? Oh well, I still liked it. Smile

Well I'm paying attention aren't I. Totally missed it. I must not look at posting numbers I guess.
Neat touch though.

Don't feel bad Dusty, I missed it too.
Not very observant of me.
I should get demoted for lack of attention.
