You get each rank upon passing the post requirement, but ELITE is only shown when you have exactly 1337 posts.

Just a question. What's so special about 1337?

1337 = LEET

Like E-LEET, which is why it's ELITE.

Even more confused. Where'd you get LEET from?

Elite is pronounced ee-leet. Leet is a shortened version. 1 looks like an L, the 3s are Es, and the 7 is a T.
