So I've been a "coffee grinder" for over 2 years now

Sorry if this info is listed somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
How does the forum title/rank system work? I've been a coffee grinder (big time lurker) for a long time. And what are those little icons of a watch or key?

Did you get that memo? We're attaching the cover sheet to the TPS reports now. Let me get you a copy of that memo, hmkay? Contributing to the conversations will help you climb the corporate ladder.
As for the 'bling,' occasionally there's a donation drive... contributing to those will help you climb the rewards ladder.
Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative.
Your title depends on the number of posts you've made and not the time that has elapsed since you joined. The little icons indicate how many times you've donated to the site.
EDIT: I really need to learn to finish my posts faster.

And the rest is just posting volume. But we welcome all, no matter how many times they go for coffee.

I don't know, have you noticed much spam? Are you spamming right now? Wait a minute ... I see what you did there. Devious.

All you need is one lengthy discussion about Team Fortress 2 and you're into blessed Intern territory. Keep the faith, brother!

I think by keeping the numbers of posts private, and the number for each level different, it offsets some people's desire to rocket up the title charts. Pretty nice system, really.

By there very nature, wouldn't coffee grinders be the most likely to talk about being a coffee grinder?

You show me one coffee grinder talking about being a coffee grinder and I'll...
Oh wait. Never mind.
P.S. I'm not spamming. Honest. No, really. I'm not.
P.P.S. Ok, maybe I am. This thread seems to invite it though.
P.S. to the P.P.S. Now I'm stealing jokes too. Bad karma is on the horizon for me.
Edit: Posted to the TF2 thread. Karma appeased. Now I just need to work on keeping my eyes open in photographs.
Coming next: a thread where Interns gather around the water cooler and discuss how much it sucked being a coffee grinder.

Hah, I was just posting this:
...and in the preview, noticed I'm a consultant now! Suck it, coffee grinders!
Erm, sorry. That was inappropriate.
And, it was another post. Muahahaha!
OK, I'm done now. Really.

When I was "active" on the VNBoards during the Asheron's Call heyday I think my postcount average was 0.0x posts per day. I guess my habits haven't changed all that much.

Has anyone ever, upon reaching the "Choose your tag!" stage, chosen to revert it to Coffee Grinder for a laugh?

This is pure brilliance. It needs to be "Coffee Grinder Extraordinaire" or something.

You just need to keep on the lookout for threads like the "everyone type one word to the Fresh Prince theme song" one we had a while back
Pad the stats, my man.
Either that or actually spend time posting meaningful comments.
Nah.
