I know that this is a stupid question, but what does it mean to be a pup on dokuga? I have also seen Inuyoukai, Taiyoukai and other things. I just want to know what this all means.

The ratings: Pup, Whelp, Inuyoukai, Shrine Girl etc have to do with how many forum/threads you start or paticipate in. For example I am a Taiyoukai, my forum points is at 479 now. You can increase your points and rating by replying or starting your own discussion, and also by participating in the forum games, one of the easiest ways to score.

Below is a list of Dokuga's forum points and ratings. Don't know if anything has changed since it was updated over one and a half year ago.

Pup 0 - 99
Whelp 100
Inuyoukai 200
Taiyoukai 300
Daiyoukai 500
Shrine Girl 600
Time Traveler 700
Miko 800
Osuwari Hime 900
Shikon Miko 1000

I figured it had something to do with posting but I wasn't sure. I haven't seen anything past Taiyoukai so I didn't know it went past that.

I went crazy after finding out the forum points
It's pretty hard to get past the levels. I got to Shrine Girl because I Host the "Who am I?" Forum Game. You can level up pretty fast by participating in forum games!
