    Is there a initiation? Do I have to go through with it?

    How long until I get a custom avatar?

    What are the ranks?

    I'll think up more later...

    500 posts for a custom avatar.

    The only initiation you'll face is accusations of you being a DL

    The FAQ (link at the top of the page) lists the ranks and posts needed to reach them.

              A DL is an alternate login created by someone else on the site. It's estimated that about 10,000 of the people on apolyton are DL's.

                You are truely an initiate once you've figured out who is rumoured to control 99% of the DLs. By the way, if you read the FAQ you will discover that creating or using a DL is strictly Verboten.

                  ...and creating a new thread in reply to a post so that everyone can look at your answer is called [bad] trolling.

                  So don't do that again. Thank you.

                    Read the FAQ.

                    It will show you the ranks you can achieve, and the number of posts needed to get them.

                              how do you know if someone is a DL?

                              if it's strictly forbidden, how can there be so many DLs? if they know how to find them, wouldn't it be equally easy to prevent?

                              oh, and why would someone want a DL? can't you just be yourself?

                              -edit-
                              never mind, I figured out a reason. i guess some people want an early return from mingapulco.
