Word Prefect
as a pun on "Word Perfect" and "Ford Prefect" and implying the Prefect monitoring role as at school?
I like many of the suggestions already made. Can we change ALL the levels or just the ones higher than Pooh Bah?

Rodward gave me pause by asking Can we change ALL the levels or just the ones higher than Pooh Bah?
I went back and read the note I rec'd from AWAD HQ and sure enough I had copied and pasted OK ... so, since the note said "We're open to the names for future titles" it would seem that FUTURE is the cause for the question.
I presumed the future meant those not already awarded ... but, what the heck, suggest away!
The question was raised about why we needed titles at all ... I can empathize with the feeling ... on the other hand -- for myself -- I find that I am more patient with Strangers and Newbies just as I am more patient with children than with adults.
It's a character flaw! Ahhh, well.

I'm with ASp on this issue. I think the titles have been a horrible (an 'orrible) [but not terrible?] distraction. on the other hand, I have no aspirations to become a turtle (why turtle?) and I will retire/expire before submitting to "master aster" (I don't even want to know!) well, obviously we're never going to reach concensus on this, so some benevolent god/goddess will have to decide what to submit to the G&P one. were it up to me, I would choose thusly: 2500 - whangdoodle5000 - nonesuch10000 - Icarus oh, wait... upon second thinking, aster might be meant to be that suffix denoting partial resemblance
: one that is inferior or not genuine; as in, poetaster or criticaster. in which case, masteraster...

we are open to names for future titles Well, since it seems that Anu means to look at all suggestions and surprise us with his picks, here's some I scribbled down without posting (until now)...good, bad, winceable, or otherwise. Lest they should go to waste. Bogart (for you could say the post-Pooh-Bahs are bogarting the board!) Speilunker Boardosaurus Wordosaur (--saurus) Word Dervish Pooh-Pooh Bah (sorry...but why waste it?)
