    As of now we have both the Team (which are the group bars that say "Owner, Members+ etc"), and the pips which are the Halo 3 ranks 1-50. I think we've grown out of the point of needing a ranking system. The first thing to debate is whether we want to keep those halo 3 ranks present in the info bar (which stretches posts) etc.


    Pros for Remove
    -One less hook to run
    -If posts are short, they will stay short instead of the icon forcing it to be large.
    -Less busy info pane

    Cons for Remove
    -Less interactive for post count
    -The whole idea for "ranks" for post counts is eliminated

    If you are confused this is the userInfoPane

    Numbers explained below



    1) Pip Icon
    2) Group Bar
    3) Pip Icon Text

    The change is chosen upon will remove #3.

    It doesn't really matter if they stay or go, its not really that big of a deal.

    I say get rid of the pip, it's not like anyone ever cared what their rank was anyway.

    You should maybe change the ranks to something other than Halo ranks. Maybe something similar to this. Just change the color to something not so vivid and add a few more minor details.

    I can make new ranks, I just need someone to give me an idea of what to make.

    Edit: Those colors are too vivid, but it is only an example.
