New ranks, new names, and new ideas, vote here.
 

All right, well first off, I have a set of rank images, that will look something like the following:

You can ignore the image for now as it would most likely be changed, this is simply an example of the layout for each rank.

The finished product would have a glossy look over the text, and a few other highlights.

The text matches the color of the rank and the light/shadows match it also.

Secondly, I purpose we change the Donator and Supporter ranks to either Supporter and Top Supporter, so they go together better, or simply remove one of them altogether.

Third, mostly by #21's request, but I also agree with several ideas is to make the black market public, as well as remove/merge a few unnecessary or unused forums.

I've also strongly felt we need the black market public. What's a black market if black's can't use it?

I didn't even know there was a private black market.

I like the idea of a public black market. It may take more time to handle and take care of , but i think it will bring even more activeness to the forum. Also i really like those rank images (Eskimo your are pimp too) they blend in really well with the forum and the color of the rank you have.

But, see this is the reason why it's going to make it wrong. If we get rid of the Donator and Supporter and just make one rank where's the specialization. If i pay more then the other guy he shouldn't get the exact same as i do. That's just what i think.

It's fine with me if the majority of the forum wants those ranks ;).

I would rather have the black market public.

Tranquility, it would not be the same rank. He's just saying ranks like "Supporter" and "Superior Supporter", or something like that.

public black market ftw !

NOOO KEEP RANKS WE HAVE NOW

Sorry Dorito but they are so much more sexy then the one you posted.

I like dorito's, nuf said.

Publicizing the blackmarket will pubicize ezud. Considering it's already (knock on wood) active, many will get on our bandwagon, and realize what an amazing bug abuse forum we have.

Also, a public black market will make more room for the honestly overgiven promotions (Market Moderator/Official MM) and possibly require more ;p(nudges Envy, lol's but not irl)

Reason why I won't ever make the private black market public is because it'll take the focus away from the Bug Abuse section. I'm going to most likely just make it be able to be seen by Supporter+ rather then just Donators+.

The ranks you're showing I don't like really can you show others?

Well, I can't really just "make up" new ranks, lol. What I mean is I have someone who is probably one of the best GFX people around, and he actually is a web designer and he did them for me.

I can ask him to make another example one, but you'd have to tell me what you'd want as I basically just let him free will that one and I liked how it turned out.

Once the gloss is added and the highlights perfected, it will blend perfectly with our current forum style.

Like I said, ignore the easter egg, as the images can be whatever we want, they can be unrelated to RuneScape even.

Second, some of you misunderstood when I said remove one all together or change the names. I'm not saying make them equal, I'm just saying Donator and Supporter don't really go together, they are basically the same, except different ways to say it. What I was purposing is to keep the current pricing, and maybe change the names to like Supporter and Top Supporter, or Little Supporter and Large Supporter.

Those are just examples, I was simply saying get two that are actually on the same field if you get what I mean that would go together better.

Third, about trying to keep the focus on bug abuse, I do agree with that, but at the same time, you don't really expect to get THAT much activity and focus from the black market.

I'm saying it will draw some attention (hopefully, that'd be the point), but there's no way, at least in my mind that we would get enough members that it would change the focus of the site from bug abuse to black market.

I think it'd just be a nice side thing to offer Ezud members.

There's my 2 cents, also Envy if you could talk to me on MSN, thanks.

I love the ranks, they look very sleek and professional.

I'd say go with the new ranks! They look sexy!

:p

This is what I decided.

I am open to changing the ranks.

I will keep the names Supporter and Donator and just add Top Donator or Top Supporter and charge $7-$10 for it.

I will change the black market and make it public but require a 100 post count to view the section.

Sound good?

Chyeah maybe a second report a scammer also =D

why a second report a scammer section? We don't need it.

/sarcasm i'm saying since we are making black market public then we will have more scammers ugh

Seems like we will bring in more money hopefully we use it to the fullest for this fourm and what happened to the 50 post count limit

Please talk to me on MSN.

You're missing the point, lol, I don't want more ranks, I simply saying the two ranks we have, don't go together or make sense. It's like having the ranks Moderator and Mod and saying they are two different things, or having Employee and Worker. Supporter and Donator are basically the same thing, to become a supporter, you donate money, lol.

What I am saying is rename one of the two ranks so they actually go together and you can actually distinguish which one is higher or the difference between them.

That sounds fine to me.

Looks like a good idea, I choose supporter and top supporter.
