I like the variations on "expert", but doesn't it compound the old argument that post counts give the impression of authority/knowledge? Never agreed particularly with the argument myself but I'm sure some will object.
I still think mrsspendalot's variations on the money theme are the best idea so far - isn't moneysaving what this site's all about anyway?
For a really geeky suggestion, how about Jedi ranks? :rotfl:- Initiate
- Apprentice
- Knight
- Master
- Council Member (maybe for the MSE towers guys?)
- Grand Master

Sadly, the upshot of all this will probably be that the names are removed.
Shame - I was looking forward to building up my post count and getting the next name/star.
Speaking of which, how many posts do I need to get out of 'stalwart' territory? Don't like it - makes me sound like a dud. :sad:Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW Nerd #4910 -

I like mrsspendalot's alliterative ones, they sound good & are fun too
