i think that your status should change every 100 posts , cause im sure not looking forward to having my status stay first gear till i reach 400 posts.... kinda boring
anyways if its not to much work i think you should switch it so that every 100 posts it switches a gear
first gear 100
sixth gear 600
redline 700
then 800 can be premium member or something like that
just wanna make things more interesting thats all
hope you consider it
