What ever site i go to and its alot of them i see well ranks. Yes i know we have ranks for posts already but we need as well some kinda bar like the supporters and staff bars as well. I mean they are nice and not everyone has something like that but if that happens i would like it a lot. Nothingbig and fancy just a special little thing to go with your name.

Hate to rain on your parade, but loading userbars for everyone would slow down a forum that's known for not lagging.
Like what he said, they're a waste of space and besides does not the number of posts rank yourself?

"Nothingbig and fancy just a special little thing to go with your name"
In case you haven't noticed, there's these things called "avatars". Which is a special thing that goes with your name.
It would just be frivolous to give EVERY member a little rank bar, and I don't really see much of a point of having some special bar that just says "PokeCommunity Member", when that's pretty obvious.

@Rugia: Don't bypass the character limit, I've deleted your post.
@Zathura: I really wouldn't take the number of posts as a way to rank someone, you can be a complete nobody and have 5,000 posts.

Just to add a little more without the snark:

The reason the staff all have the rank bars is to identify them immediately as staff. If you don't know the staff colours yet, they quickly let you know what rank a staff member has. It's there for a reason, not just to look pretty. With the supporters, it's more of an aesthetic thing. It's one of our ways of saying thank you to the people who donate their hard-earned money to our site. It lets everyone know what tier they're in (aka what "rank" of supporter they are).

PC is known for not lagging? What?

Once you've loaded one userbar, the file is stored in your cache and you won't have to load it multiple times. Just like if you post more than once in a page, your sig won't load more than once.
