From what I see is that the E-rank is based on how long a member has been a contributing member at computing.net.
The funny thing is...I started at rank #20....it changed to rank #19 for a few months and once again went back to Rank #20...that confuses me a bit. Most of the top 20 are inactive anymore with a few exceptions like Jefro and a few others.How about a post showing the top 20 or top 40, 50? That would prove to be interesting for most members here I would think.

Hey, Just post it here? Sure, I could do that... We are working on a system to give better information to users about the rankings, but that is a little more longer term. The thing that you need to remember about erank is that is more accurate for users with fewer postings in terms of posting quality. Once you have tons and tons of postings, the override factor for eranks is your number of posts (with obvious slight changes based on quality).
Here are the top 50 in order.

My E-rank is 670 and i joined on the 8th June this year, i think its based on how many best answers you,ve got and how many medals. I am a hardware guy not a software guy but i try to help.
I recognize about half of them. Some have not been active for years. There are a few that I have heard of through others that still post here.
Hey, Yeah, a lot of older people rank high, but it is based on all-time stats. I mean, I think that's fair. The other way would be to give higher ranks to more recent posters, but, just because you posted long ago, does that take away from the quality of your postings? I don't know. Its definitely something I have been thinking about when building the system.

Thanks Justin! I appreciate your answer... Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions 7 Golds
"I recognize about half of them. Some have not been active for years." Yeah, same here. And many of the AWOL posters are sorely missed.

I recognise most people on that list, I used to post here almost every day. I joined when I was 12, now I'm 24. YAY. I've got a lot of good help from the people on that list! Mattwizz3

I was 10 when u joined CN, i have never seen a computer at that time(never heard of internet). I was still playing with my toys, 2 years later i started gaming & this was my first console http://www.geekets.com/wp-content/u...How about special medals for the champions?
You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.
If you give more weight to recent posters you set in motion e-rank inflation. It'll be a continuous process. Tomorrow's posting must be ranked higher than today's. Next year's more so than this years. But I think time takes care of what may seem to be an inequality. For example, 10 years ago we would get a page of new 95/98 threads daily. A person could be active in 20 or 30 new ones every day. It was easy to build up the volume that would figure in what would become e-rank. But now we get 1 or 2 new threads there per week. So those of us who made our bones there back then can't do it in that forum now. That allows those posting in newer OS forums to have their turn and catch up. It just takes a little bit of time.
