Is it possible to have a few more tiers Pete on post counts. Seeing as the ones up to the present run on almost double, could I suggest we have one at 1000 and 2500 or whatever?

For another example, in the FFDS forum, I started all the FFDS associates with 500 posts.... just so in a quick "per posts" listing, one could see who we are.
Pete could easily grant the mods a "joining bonus" of 10,000 posts to each moderator. Again, it means not a whole lot.
