Oh come on the old ranks we had were crap, it meant nothing to be an Archmage. 
New ranks might look cool to newcomers, and I for one want to board to look as good as possible so that it's easier to expand. 
Heh, most people would agree. BTW, what is the final rank after grandmaster? I drew a blank on cool names (nobody's reached it yet, you're close, but no cigar).
Posting ranks mean the person can stay for longer to try and raise his rank (not through meaningless posts though!). [I'm not so sure about it. If someone really want to do something, he will post and work, regardless of his "post rank" on the board. Otherwise, it will be problematic, if someone just posts a lot of posts for there ranks. (just look at me

) - @kukac@]
Concerning a theme, I would like to make one, bearing in mind that anyone can manually set a theme from their profile page. Still working on a glest theme, a little bit of work to go, while also looking for a pre-made one that would fit glest, then we can vote!

@Concerning GAE/MegaGlest board:
That may not be a bad idea to simply rename the GAE board to 'engine developement' or the like. [Nah, I think it works fine as it is now - @kukac@] I'll let you guys vote on it. Titi, it's your megaGlest, what do you think?
