Btw is there a way to get Forum rank up i been playing the game for 2 years and just rgistered on forums a few months ago
Oh, it's just a combination of time passed and post count now. There used to be a ranking system too based on ratings, but that's gone. So now you just post and let time pass and your new rank will just be issued to you. 
A few titles like glowie or home decorator are earned and granted manually by the mods, but all the rest are automated.

I'm big big on the idea that SWG can be salvaged if they just put in a TON of common sence and effort. I never really thought about it but it's true, everyone's going "watch me tip me", which only ever happens in real life in strip clubs...Making comfort zones to give small "not angry" buffs, or throwing a party to radiate happyness, sounds alot more realistic then what we currently got, I just generally love the heck out of this idea!!Three things I wanna rant about that's related though.
Firstly: Just being there wouldn't buff you, then EVERYONE would have a long lasting level 1 comfort buff, you gottarelax there long enough to be effected. (would encourage people to afk while doing nothing!Hungry? SIT and go eat! It's more rewarding then your macro, honest!)
Then, okay the whole thing about being payed, better idea! We have entertainer mission terminals, want some spare change? Sign up for an easy 1k in 10 minutes, it's money, not many people do it though.Meenwhile in space, sence it's soooo annoying to crash land and refresh your mission from up there, we have what they call "Duty missions", it's your job to patroland your payed for working until you quit. Ent mission terminals, when you sign up, will give you1000 creds for every20 minutes spent entertaining in the building. Then to penalize long-term AFKers; after 2 hours a popup hits, asking you to click renew or else the mission would expire in 10 minutes(the auto-accept macro would hit OK instead, thus giving the terminal permission to expire yer mission.)
(Further on the terminals:When you hit refresh, it would look threw flagged buildings only. All non-player cantinas would be flagged, player cantinas could be manually flagged, point is, missions will now ONLY send you where you're wanted and not to random buildings.)
Finally, I'd like to be able to listen to music without having to /listen to a person... Musicians would be inclined to work together more, instead of 3 bands in the same room performing different songs without a hint of dischord, pffff!!! Sence everyone hears the music by default, a good band would be GREAT advertisement to lure in passerbys, or of coursea bad band or multiple clashing bandswould encourage people to /burstrun, heh.
Really I don't think the programming for this would be impossable, when you hold still for a minute it would add up all the things within 20 meters of you. Chair, chair, table, poster, rug, (corpse of a storm trooper), four musicians on song A, (1 musician on song B), and 3 master dancers... Level 4 buff in15 minutes!!The ()'d things wouldwork AGAINST the comfort level of the place though, try not to kill anyone in the cantinas yeah?
.... *looks around* Heh, erh, thanks for letting me rant(?), here I thought getting alivejournal accountwould help STOP these randomidea dumps, oh well.. uh.../burstrun
