MA rank
Regarding the line on your user page: This user's current MA rank is How the smeg do I find that out?., I believe it's a personal decision on what rank you want to assign yourself. I would recommend basing it on similar criteria that Starfleet personnel are (supposively) ranked, such as longivity, contributions as a member, commendations from others, involvement with the community, etc. Although such promotion factors would kind of contradict with Data's Starfleet record... ;) - Intricated talk page |undefined 17:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the rank thing isn't an official part of MA. It was just something I concocted and slapped on my user page for fun. It's been adapted by a few other users since then. As Intricated said, though, the idea is that you give yourself a rank that denotes your time and work on MA, but in actuallity, you can pretty much give yourself any rank you want. ;) --From Andoria with Love 17:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks guys. I thought it might have been an automatically calculated thing like there is on the forums I'm on. I think I'll make my own rank up now. --Commander, Starbase23 17:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 20 credits that Andy is a Commander. ;) - Intricated talk page |undefined 17:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, go look. I want my money. ;-D --Commander, Starbase23 18:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't you know there's no such thing as an economy in the future? :D - Intricated talk page |undefined 21:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
