another similar question, what does the reputation do? I have 10 and its says good, but doesn't everyone have that?
"edit" btw I have 50 post and im a Diablo fan, so maybe its based on time online or since registration also?
yeah i just noticed that, maybe it is... haha i would have had an account on this site a lot earlier but i was using inc.gamers instead and noticed this about 3 years later lol
Diablo Fan, Zealot etc. were once based on post count, however nowadays the title cannot be changed. People get different titles depending on when they register (and if they have a curse account).
Some people have special titles. These have been acquired in several ways:
In the past we used vBulletin, and back then titles would change depending on post count at certain intervals: 10, 50, 100, 200 etc. When we swithed to IPB instead this stopped, but some of those titles seemed to stay in the system (zealot, sexton etc). I don't know why some people didn't get the Diablo Fan title (which is intended as the standard title), but it might have been some weird stuff happening when the forum was converted.
Some users have special titles. These have either been handed out as contest rewards, or they remain from said users time on the staff.
Moderators and administrators can change their own and other people's titles.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

It's no out of date. It is just that the board changes have made the entire system a bit unpredictable. Sometimes it works as intended and other times it just goes crazy and reverts to older titles that we no longer use. There seems to be no method to the mayhem.

I was under the impression anyone could make a custom title now. Rank and titles really seem a thing of the past now. And reputation...boy do I recall all the incidents over the old system.
First, I think you are talking about "Title" not "Group" -- because 99% of the people on the site are under the same "Group" (ie. "Member" "Mod" "Admin")
There's settings in IPB that allow Titles to be set various different ways.
It can be set to a default (Diablo Fans)
It can be determined by post count. (1-10 = noob , 11-50 = noob2)
It can be set so that members can set their own.
It can be overwritten by admin/mods.
However, like Scyber said, none of those seem to be the case. Looks like it's a little funky. New member titles are determined by post count (1 post = Zakarumite .. and so on)
However, I (and a lot of other people) have an older account (before IPB), so at one point I assume that my title was overwritten/hardcoded in, therefor I'm not following that same protocol.

Ya, for some reason nobody cares anymore.

well, title is somewhat important to us since it makes you look cool or something. but who cares? were here to give and read information's as well as ideas. haha. please don`t be mad.
I think "Diablo Fan" is the highest you get, which I would assume is 100 posts.
your a hero of time...
i see
is what he says true?
i dont see what you're talking about?
yeah i just noticed that, maybe it is... haha i would have had an account on this site a lot earlier but i was using inc.gamers instead and noticed this about 3 years later lol
Just be active on the forums and post a lot, I'm sure there's a higher rank than zealot

Edit: I'm still a zealot too and I'm curse premium so..... your info might be a little out of date.

Reputation is simply that, reputation. It's how many times people have pressed the + button on the lower right corner of their posts.
It isn't used by a lot of people (Many don't even know it exists) so I wouldn't take it as hard evidence that people like/agree with something.
