Ok, there seems to be some agreement about my proposal of using the levels from DM. So this should be done in every case. The only thing where we don't agree is the "score" you need. While I still like my proposal about xp based scores (else I wouldn't have posted it), I can live with other solutions also, but before making a different suggestion two more things about the solution I offered first:
Gambit: I started at Neophyte level with the score equivalent belonging to novice in DM intentionally because I think there shouldn't be a no-name level, although there is of course one in DM.
And I also agree with PitD that 500 or 512 posts are an awful lot. 500/512 posts would be as much I think someone will ever archive, so it would be possible to become On-Master, but there should be always one on top of what seems to be realistic. I could imagine someone archiving 1000 or 1024 posts, but it is highly improbable that someone will ever do that, so Ee-Master would remain an ideal practically beyond reach, and I I can't imagine someone ever posting as much as 2000 or 2028 posts, but, as I said, there should be always something on top of what is probable, practical or realistic. So Archmaster would actually only serve to express symbolically some gratitude for those few people who invest time and energy in maintaining this site for us.
Another thing is: Some time after the DM forum from Christophe had been new when it was known enough to be established among dm players there was a lot of exchange because quite a few people had a lot to say about dm after all those years. Same can be said about Georges forum, after RTC had been new and was full of hundreds of bugs. But as time went on (and RTC as well as CSBWin were developed quite far), the frequency of posts in both has decreased, although of course the occasional newcomer will still get advice and questions answered and the stubborn hardcore of dm players will keep posting.
So, with constant posting with a relative low frequency it seems to make sense to have a fast progress through the first few levels, for if 85% or more of all members are something like "strong & silent" the entire things starts to become something between silly and boring.
But...if you'd still prefer some other solution I'm certain we will find one (although I think it should meet at least the requirement of having a faster progress at lower levels than at higher ones as it is usual for all kinds of levels in all RPG's. I also like mathematical consistent solutions.). So how about that one (did I mention I love Ars Magica?):

I hope that one is meeting all demands of Gmabit and PitD and everyone else.

Well I'm in favor of Lunever's suggestion. Just thinking that I keep coming here regularly and posting on a frequent basis (still having no more than 30 or so posts) 1000 is a huge figure... let's not overdo it. I never reached Archmaster in any DM game so far, even though I train a lot, so leave me a theoretical chance here ...

So I suppose it has been done now based on the AM xp? Fine!
PitD: Of course I forgot about the greatest danger of that system: It is so deeply implanted into the blood of every hardcore dm player to try to become Archmaster one day that we may find ourseleves at post-stacking, probably while sleep-walking

he's actually from the monster part of the GFX archive I did. I only did the front view of this one, I spent more time on the skel, and screamer.
At any rate, I will be completing the DM GFX set. I plan to get back to the process of making the set as I now have a bit of free time again.. for how long I don't know but for a little while anyway.
Amber, you can use it in annother forum yes, however if more an more people plan to use it or if it's to be seen by millions of people per day I think it might be good to have it go up else where. Zpc is still granting me free space but I don't want his bandwidth to go way up suddenly.

you can do anything you like to the image .. well other than giving him a big strap on dildo or making him a flasher. But yeah, make any changes you like.
As for the archive, I think I posted the link on here somewhere.. pretend it's an easter egg hunt. If you don't find it I'll hunt it down for you.
hint.. it should be something like http://chaos.zpc.cz/files.html
whoops.. I guess I gave away too much.

thats all versions of it im using. one is resized for the forum im using it in, the other only has a transparent background. i thought id better ask before, because you have a copyright on it
ok, maybe im the only person on the whole internet who is asking before

Well, I think I'll make a new avatar sticky post later that only I can add to so that it just contains the avatars. Since this one obviously has gone further than just avatars.
Or I could be smarter and just add them to the choosable avatars when you edit your profiles.
Amber; yes I hand painted averything in the archives. A few things were paintovers so they matched up but it's not as if they are super detailed before I got them so I don't really feel I'm cheating. Just trying to stay true to the orriginal.
