Hello,

I'm trying to decide on 4 rank names for my new forum. I've been racking my brain for a few hours and I just can't think of anything besides the whole "new member, junior member... ect". I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask but here. I like, for example, the names on this forum how they relate to the whole asylum thingy... My forum is basically for web design stuff. Any ideas?

An excellant source is one of the really old Dungeons & Dragon books. I believe D&D - not AD&D - Player's Handbook. Although, it might be the AD&D Players First Edition...?
For each "class", there is a list of rank titles from levels 1-20 or something.

Hmm...

Some thoughts...

Rank 1: rookie, amateur, apprentice
Rank 2: scholar, learner
Rank 3: eccentric, visionary
Rank 4: overlord, savant, mastermind, guru, wizard, expert

If it is webdesign, why not just use html versions? Highest member would be currently xhtml 2.0 strict beta. Or webdesign method, like noobs have a "blink" tag, not so noobs 2table hack" and vets "box model"...:P

"small," "medium," "large," "gigantic," and "ribbed for her pleasure."

I guess you could throw "flavored" in there somewhere too.

of course, none of it's really web-design related either..

Rad... thanks everyone. I don't think I know what a "kinky nugget" is but it does have a nice ring to it.

if you want to go with warjournal's idea i own a good amount of D&D books.

If one match can start a forest fire then why does it take the whole box to start a BBQ Grill?
