Ok, lets invert this on rank respected developer.
What exactly have you done FOR WJunction, to be promoted in respected developer? As far as I know, you made a spam tool, that many webmasters here had issues blocking from spammers. Other than that, you charged for it. So, how did you got your rank, in relation with WJ? Or anyone else here.
For example, JmZ is more than obvious why he got admin rank. He did shitload of stuff behind the forum.
It's not the point in how old they are, or what they do. They have their separate section, they are allowed to advertise there, no matter if they are 2 minutes old, point in their rank is so they can be VISIBLE to others, for one, if they do some stupid shit, as spam, anyone will report them, and they will be banned, that is one of advantages having them in other color.
It's like: that is your business, we have a section for that, here's your orange working cloth here. Now, go there, work. It's not a promotion rank, like respected member.
LMAO, dude they are respected they helped lot of members on here and earned that rank for various reasons i don't really know what you're getting at with your point by indirectly saying both filehosts and respected developers ranks has same value well that's not true you can get a filehost rank by purchasing a vps put a domain on it upload an html file and the rank is yours most respected developers are well known wj members so your point is invalid
kthx
