Nerds and Geeks, what would you like to be called?

Toto

From reading Martin's blog on mental health issues it seems some people feel that the old names were insulting to people with these mental health problems, maniac, bonkers etc. So I understand that Martin wants to change them.

Most people seem to agree though that they don't like the new names, nerds, geeks, inhabitants. What would you like to be called? Can you think of better names?

Ha Toto, was just thinking the same thing. I look boring now!!!

However, I have NO imagination and can't think of anything better. I like my old one Boo hoo!!!!!!

I liked my old name too. I do find Super Geek really quite insulting though :mad:

Just suggested on the feedback board that they should have kept them money related, so the newbie moneysaver, regular moneysaver, ever so regular money saver, but then they could have done fabulously frugal moneysaver, super savvy moneysaver, etc. Surely keeping it money related doesn;t offend anyone and reflects the reason we are all here

Especially if you have ever watched 'beauty and the geek'. I have NEVER watched it honest but my daughters do and I may have caught a glimpse now and then!

Not like at all really. Any chance a Super Geek could perhaps set up a poll as only being a nerd i dont know how to.

I think all the star levels have been adjusted as well.

How about variations on "Expert"?

e.g:
- amateur
- novice
- student
- practitioner
- specialist
- boffin
- genius
- genius

Oh I love this one, I always wanted to be a 'boff' at school, but could never quite make it.
