Okay, so this kinda threw me off guard when 100 messages wasn't Active Member title. Does anybody know the ranking system, as I now know it's not the same as Prime?
I would rather prefer the trophies. As said above it comes with earning likes and posts to get trophies making it overall harder to get a new rank. I don't think that it would be a bad thing - doing this, because really, does it matter if multiple people have the same rank? No, ranks don't matter, the way your posts effect other members of the forums matter. Either way - +1 to the trophy idea.
