There was nothing wrong with ever so regular moneysaver or newbie moneysaver, so why change those? They could have then gone on with fabulously frugal moneysaver, super savvy moneysaver, etc. for example.

I like those ones too.

On a forum I used to visit (not been there for months though) I achieved the rank of "beneficial pineapple".

Before you ask - I have no idea

I'm actually quite peed off about this.

I have gone from something that didn't imply I was an inmate from the local loony bin (if that offends, I don't care!!!) who foamed at the mouth and chewed on chalk to someone who doesn't have a life

MoneySaving Inhabitant (I’ve no time for the real world this site is my home)

Put it back how it was for gods sake or are we going to bow down when someone complaining that the angel smillie has religious connections and offends them?

Ive lost a star :eek: I had two, I have just posted and now I have one, why have they stolen my star

And Im a convert, how dull!

I think a bit more thought needs to go into this, not fussed about changes, but at least make them decent :rolleyes:

I'm offended (well not actually offended but a bit peed off) that it's ASSUMED I'm offended by the old descriptions. I've been on anti-depressants (they actually saved my life) and still suffer now, I'm just lucky that I recognise the signs when the depression creeps back and I know what to do before it gets a tight hold.

The old descriptions were funny, the new ones are funny, it's the REASON for the change I don't like. Specially since it seems to be a request from just one person.

I agree. If they felt like the titles needed to be changed so they don't offend anyone with mental problems then fair enough, but saying we're geeks and nerds is actually quite insulting and should have had a lot more thought put into it.

I'm not bothered in the slightest what we're called but I did like the old ones better...

I think it only kicks in when you've posted.
