I like the word wyrm, but maybe personal preference :) Here's what it means (from http://www.wyrm.org.uk/).
Wyrm /w3:m/ [also wurm] noun. a type of dragon with a long slender body, often able to breathe fire, with either none or four limbs but usually without wings. Derives from the Old Germanic Gewurm.
Do you all want me to show the list of titles, or leave them hidden to find out when someone makes it there?

Maybe you should post them so I don't have to go on a posting binge to see them. :lol:
If it was easy then we all would be doing it!

Cool I'm a Space Wyrm I think. I don't FEEL any different. Oh well.

Hmm, what about Longevity and Quality of posts?

I've been here since the old boards, ah that must be what the Creative Team is. 8) I can deal with that.

Heh, I've deliberately ignored this so I don't have to post the other titles :) I think I'll just smite anyone who tries to go on a posting binge. *brandishes a mighty warhammer menacingly*

I'm always open to suggestions for rank titles :) As long as suggestions are made.

I suggest we have only a few titles. Something like 'visitor' for the first 50 posts, 'Member' for up to 300, and 'Veteran' after that. With a lot of ranks, people will just post to get titles.

We already give out 'official' FO titles to members of each team. IMO, those people should stand out, rather than just whomever posts the post.

Sugjest we make 0-5 Posts "Stellar Barnical"

Looking at our members list this would give us

~100 Space Krill
~300 Stellar Barnicles
