Member titles/ranks on the forum

[Sawnah]

All this flower discussion had me wondering if it's possible to define ranks for members on this type of forum? I mean, like some forums have ranks and titles according to post amount, if we ignore that and place special ranks based on our flowers under our names? Is that do-able on this forum type?

Question is mostly for Grace. XD

[whiimsy]

This sounds like a good idea dearie, but yep not a clue how it would be done? Grace? xD

[Neriede]

That'd be really cool.

But what kind of theme would we have in naming the ranks (other than including our flowers in the name somewhere)? :3

All I can think of for me is Little Lotus--because I'm SUPER short. XP

[Sawnah]

Well, every flower has a story, right? I could look into them and figure out a fitting adjective for each flower, and if the story doesn't match the owner of the flower, we can just make one up? :D

Here's what I've got:

Rose - Vee - Aurora - Love
Sunflower - Michelle - Pocahontas - Pure thoughts
Orchid - Tess - Esmeralda - Beauty
Daisy - Momo - Cinderella - Fidelity
Iris - Jessy - Eris - Inspiration
Poppy - Grace - Mulan - Consolation
Jasmine - Sanna - Anastasia - Elegance
Gardenia - Mia - Earth Girl - Secret love
Lily - Mariam - Ariel - Virginity
Hibiscus - Miranda - Charlotte - Old Royalty
Lotus - Neriede - Tiana - Eternity
Common Mallow - Sifra - Kayley - Consumed by love
Buttercup - Megan - Jasmine - Endearment
Snowdrop - Gege - Belle - Modesty
Belladonna - Emily - Megara - Deadly Nightshade
Lily of the Valley - Isabella - Elionwy - Return of Happiness
Indian Paintbrush - Katie - Jane - Butterfly Weed
Pansy - Paulina - Alice - Thoughtfulness

EEEEDIT;

Lilac - Kate - Tzipporah - Pride
Hyacinth - Izzy - Alice - Sincerity
Gladiolus - Allie - Amalthea - Strength
Marigold - Anne - Jim Hawkins - Creativity

Okay, so these for kind of hard to find. xD and they're not all that good. Nor are they very fitting to the chosen characters, but ... I hope we can make SOME use of these?

Some of the meanings are based on different countries, for example Hibiscus meaning here would be the Hawaiin meaning... Lily is defined by the colour, and white lilies represent virginity, but since I couldn't find the meaning of red lilies... meh. :D Some of these may be way off and very wrong, so feel free to correct me if you know better, which I'm sure you do...

[destinydeceived]

Lol, Butterfly Weed? That's what I get for picking a wildflower instead of something traditional xD There's a legend behind the Indian Paintbrush, but I don't know how authentic the version I'm familiar with is. It seems the common themes are discovering talent, finding inspiration in nature, being true to oneself, etc. Don't know if that helps, lol.

[Sawnah]

Yeah, as I said, I might be wrong. :D Yours was one of the hardest ones to find, so you can pick one for yourself that you like better. :D

[miathekingswife]

OMG!!!!
I love what mine stands for!!!!
"Secret Love" *gush* so that's so cute. xD

[Sawnah]

Your flower also means "lovely". :D But I preferred "secret love". ^^

[0AthenaChan0]

Oooohhh!!! *0*
I'm impressed by all your awesome ideas, girls!
I like the meaning of my flower!

[Grace [Pringle]]

Phew! *Sweatdrops* I managed to get all that on everyone's profiles, and I thin kI got them all right x____x hopefully! Nice idea, Sanna. I think they really set people apart nicely.

[destinydeceived]

Awesome! I went ahead and changed mine to "Inspiration," since I like that association better. Hope that's agreeable with everyone

[Sawnah]

D: ahh, now there's "inspiration" on Katie & Jessy, both.

[destinydeceived]

Ohh whoops! Never mind I didn't notice it was one of the meanings already up there! I'll pick something else ... Discovery! That's the common theme in all the versions of the legend I found.

[whiimsy]

Thanks ever so Grace!!! *worships*
And discovery is an awesome meaning as well Katie. ^^

[xPassionBlossomx]

This is such an awesome idea
I love when things have meanings ^__^ They must have taken forever to find
Is it ok to change mine to Hope, or is that already someone elses meaning ? :3
I just love the story of Eve and the Angel, who created hope by taking a snowflake and turning it into a snowdrop, to show that even in such desolate conditions Spring would always follow Winter

[Sawnah]

Yeah, "Hope" is totally fine with me. :] Yours was one of the hard ones, too... xD So yes, be my guest. :D

[GloriousHysteria]

I found out another meaning for Hibiscus is Delicate Beauty since it only blooms for a short amount of time so is it alright if I change it?
Old Royalty is not me in any shape or form

[Sawnah]

Totally fine. :D As I said;

for example Hibiscus meaning here would be the Hawaiin meaning...

So since Orchid resembles "beauty" I didn't want to put Hibiscus as the same kind of rank, so, I chose "royalty". But yeah, if you put it as "Delicate beauty", that'd be fine. :3

[GloriousHysteria]

Yay!

Also thanks Sawnahh you've definately put a lot of time and effort into this group and just thought I'd say thankyou

[xPassionBlossomx]

Thank you

[Neriede]

Oh wow, this is so cool. And the ranks are real nifty, and it'll definitely help learn everyone's names better!

Thanks Sawnah, you're the best! It must of been painful to look for the more obscure ones....

[miathekingswife]

Thank you Sawnah!!!
You have been working so hard. *hugs*

[Sawnah]

No, I enjoyed it really. :) It was interesting and I'm glad I can be of help. >w< So really, it was no problem at all. ^^

[xsmatthijsse]

such a good idea!
I love the meanings

[CherryFoxify]

hey it's a really cool idea!
i never knew flowers have so much meanings...
can you include me in the list with 'pride' (it's the most suitable thing for me i've found)? =*
