ROFL Obviously Dawg is joking. The rating is by the number of posts you make. There are thresholds that when you meet you get another name. Not sure what they all are but that's how the names come about.

More posts = higher rating.

Want to move up quickly spend some time in the game room, or just start opening threads and add a +1.

Don't worry too much about the labels or post count totals. I've seen postings from people with 3000+ postings that don't have a clue regarding what the "help" they are giving; and I've also seen people with 7 postings provide invaluable information. As for the titles, like already mentioned, it just gives you an idea of how many posting contributions they make to the foru,

Watch it though, the counting ***** may come after you if you do a lot of "+1" or "I agree" postings. I guess they think they are in 8th grade, and need to make sure "your (post count) isn't bigger than theirs".

The other side of the coin is that as your post count goes higher, your chances of staying gainfully employed go down! When your boss sees that you spend four hours a day on HD Forums, it can get a bit sticky....
