Sorry Don couldnt resist i had to answer
in answer to your question is by posting replies to other peoples threads
hope this helped as it helped me up the ranks
How do you move up the ranks? By padding your post count, just like this.
Note the difference in average posts per day between myself and some other's above, like NBE. See, NBE actually waits until he has something meaningful to contribute before posting. Me on the other hand, I just spout off about anything and everything.
