We have given up on the TUOTM, replacing it with a new rank, which comes with new rules as well. The rank also comes with a bigger avatar size (160x210), bigger profile pic, bigger inbox. How can I get this rank? To get and keep the rank, one has to actively upload either: -20 files a month (it can be manga chapters, novels, movies, games, anime episodes etc.) or -500 MB a month (for example if you upload 5 Drama CDs, each of 100MB, the rank is kept) Note: You don't have to upload both 20 files and 500MB, you can choose which option is more convenient for you. In order to obtain the rank, uploaders must post in the 'Request points for uploads' thread so we can track the number/filesize of the uploads. Graphic by Saga
