NEW INITIATE RANKS? everyone please read

Dear Initiates,

The AHS staff have been considering a revision of the initiate ranking system. The user title system at Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai is based on the titles of Ayu's songs. After you post a certain number of messages in the forum you are assigned new rank. The lowest member rank is "vogue Initiate". The next title is "SEASONS Initiate", then "ever free Initiate", and so forth...

Right now no songs from "A Song for XX" or "LOVEppears" are being used for normal initiates. We want to overhaul the initiate ranks to include songs from these albums.

We need to know what everyone thinks.

Should we change all the ranks and start over? Your post count will remain the same, but the title under your nickname will be different.

Or would you prefer to keep everything as it is know?

Please think it over, add your comments and questions to this topic, and vote in the poll.

This poll will be closed one week from today.

I think that would be deffo cool! I don't mind bearing the title of a song released before my present one, they're all Ayu songs, therefore great! I remember when I joined the forum I was wondering why the previous songs were not included, hehe! Go on!

Bye!

Benoît

I think it would be best to start over and include A Song for XX, LOVEppears, and RAINBOW because it would make everything more even, plus it would give more rankings for initiates with over 3,000 posts to receive. Therefore, if someone reaches 4,000 they wouldn't be stuck as a Voyage Initiate forever.

Yep!!! But the range between one title top the other cannot be too long cause well...there are lots of songs that weren't included and it would take like centuries to be a duty initiate or something like that

As of now, there aren't too many people with over 2000 posts, so there shouldn't be a problem with running out of ranks. If we were to put in every one of Ayu's songs, it's last for quite a long time. But if you'd like the idea of new ranks, be sure to post your ideas/suggestions here .

Well, sadly I have to think the other way. I admit that there is nothing wrong with doing this at all yet these ranks have been going for a long time and I myself, am happy with the way they are. I would just like to say that I won't get angry or anything if they are changed, i just like them now the way they are.

I've always thought that the system should go in chronological order, but with her singles. Granted, she has _only_ 28, but the only people that surpass 2800 posts are either moderators or administrators... so I'm sure it'll work.

Nothing has been finalized, but we are planning to use album songs as well. The list I am working with right now has 48 songs.

I thank everyone who has replied so far. Please feel free to voice out your objections or questions.

I voted yes, but I don't think it's that important. I don't really pay attention to the ranking system anyways.
