I'm a huge Star Trek fan, so I decided to have a little fun and give everyone a rank just like in Starfleet. Your rank is based on a proprietary formula that I derived. It's based on a number of factors including how long you've been a student, how many classes you've taken, how much you help out in the Forums (which is why Alex is our only 4-Star Admiral), your memberships, and a few other "secret sauce" recipe items.
I'm having to slowly reload all of the active customer accounts to the web site from my office Access database, so your ranks will slowly start to show up between now and Monday. Don't panic if you think you should be a Lieutenant and you're only a Crewman. Everyone will show up as a Crewman until they get their real rank. You can force your account to update faster here. Your rank will appear on all of your Forum posts as a series of pips, just like in Star Trek. Hover over it to see your rank. Click on it for the full details, or visit the Badges page for more. I've also added it to your My Account page. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. Your feedback is always welcome. Consider yourself a Trekkie? Get the new Trekkie Badge.
