Name the Posting Groups!
« on: December 31, 2006, 04:26:57 PM »

Okay, I kept hoping I'd get creative enough to come up with something, but it's just not happening.

I hate the titles of the posting groups (based on how many posts you make you're a newbie, a jr. member, full...you get the idea). I think that's just boring.

So you'd think I'd come up with something more interesting, but I guess like my current drought with writing fics, my creative juices just aren't flowing. *sigh*.

So I'd like some help. Suggestions anyone? (I put in a couple for newbie and jr, but am not sold on keeping those titles lol).

(Oh, and just as an incentive threat (  ;D ) if ya'll don't help me come up with stuff I'll probably start making ya'll post as "Fluffy Bunnies" until you reach 500 posts  :P

I noticed you'd been changing those. ;D  I like how they relate to the Absolute "Chaos" - at least that's what it seems like, with the Master of Havoc, Innocent Bystander, etc.

Do you watch South Park?  Butters's evil alter-ego is called Professor Chaos, and his sidekick is General Disarray, and then he has "the minions," his pet gerbils LOL.  It's pretty funny.  I don't know if I'm actually suggesting that or not, but it's just what I was thinking of.  I do like the minions thing though... and the word disarray.

That sounds like a cool idea.

You currently change levels at 50 posts, 100 posts, 250 posts, and 500, though more groups can be added and can change those up. I'll probably add more if and when we start getting members who post over 500 posts. Eeks. ;)

(I'm also starting a search for fun smilies to add, so if any of ya'll have good sources for those that are free to use...let me know or send me your favorites!)

Thanks! LOL   If that was to be used, it could go by rank... like Ash could be Professor Chaos, of course, and the mods or the highest ranking posters could be General Disarray or General of Disarray, and then we could make up more, like Colonel of Havoc, Major of Mayhem, Captain of Commotion... I dunno LOL.

LOL. I actually don't watch South Park (d'oh!) but that's great...hmmm.. .suppose my cats would serve as minions? :P  

Thanks for the ideas, those are great. (okay, so ya'll are off the Fluffy Bunny hook now...though that would be funny for the poor newbies...mayb e I should add a level until you're up to 5 posts...lol)
