Someone has to change your rank manually (I think that only Todd can do that; maybe digulla or someone else can too). I don't remember where was the explanation of the ranks, but they go something like:
Shugyosha (warrior in training): anyone who enters the Dojo for the first time is a shugyosha.
Hatamoto ("flag-wearer" or something like that, I can't remember the translation): if you have helped out the Dojo in some way (porting some pages from the old Dojo to the new one like I did, or creating new sections, or anything), you become a hatamoto.
Shinobi (ninja): I think that you become one if you have done something that gives publicity to UY or the Dojo outside the Internet, like pushing your local library to sell it or display it on a prominent place, or something like that. Am I wrong?
Shogun: there's only one, and that's Todd, the guy in charge of the Dojo.
Sensei: also, there's only one: Stan Sakai, the creator of UY.
I hope that helps!

I gave up on McDonalds after buying a "Happy Meal" that was filled with nothing but existential angst and trans-fats.

You really want to be the Village Idiot? Okay, but you must find out the translation for that in Japanese with the correct (accepted) spelling. There can only be one Village Idiot though!

and idiot can be hakuchi, ahou, boke, baka, manuke, chijin

Yeah, Stan's gonna answer you when he's dead.
"Mushashi...mushashi...I hereby declare you...the VILLAGE IDIOT."
-"But...how do you translate that, Mr. Sakai?"
"Translate it? I was just sayin'..."
