How come there's no 'Siouxsie Sioux' rank?
Because there bloody well should be. The Siouxsie is pretty "gothic," you know. Maybe at 2,500 posts or something.
Ah hell, at this rate I won't make 'Andrew Eldritch' for like another year anyway.

Yeah, Gothic.net stands on a proud tradition of inexcusable sexism.

Sounds cool. They're not sexist, they're just male.

Instead of worrying about your rank, maybe worry more about quality posts?

Jillian's got Peter Murphy as well now. That's at 6k, isn't it?

This almost seems like a game. Unlocking names and such. I wonder what's after 'Peter Murphey'.

Siouxie is when you reach 10,000 posts.
Peter Murphy when you reach 5,000.

I've been "Andrew Eldritch" for well over a year, and it's making me less and less goth each time I see it. *lame goth joke*

Wow, you'd have to be like a really sad person and spend your whole life on this thing to rank as Siouxsie Sioux.

Or maybe you've just been here a while and there's no reason to leave because you care for people here! :'[

Yes, that is why I am here: the comraderie and hijinks!
And to see what happens next. As in posts of our beautiful and seductive Goth girls, debates by our intelligentsia, critiques of music and the general playful banter.

I bet you it's what's after Peter Murphy. I'd love to get it. Be nice to have female representation in our ranks.
....That, and I'm not very fond of Andrew Eldritch.
But, by my calculations, if you made twenty posts a day, it would take about a year to get so many posts. I think. Wait, I think my math is off somewhere...

Hmm we could always try a spam thread just to post things to get the count up.

That is what the "food thread" and "person below you thread" "Guilty thread" and all the "let's play a game together" threads are for, to help people increment post count. The Gnet admins would probably just delete a spam thread.

It should be possible to get to 10,000 posts. I mean, if you go to other boards, you'll see people with a post count over that maybe over a year. Because those boards tend to be more active. If this place ever decides to pick up, it's highly possible.

It would take a very long time to reach the Siouxie rank.

There should be a "Duckman" rank, as I am awesome.
