Hi everybody. Just for a bit of fun, every now and then the community reviews the titles that match against forum counts for community members. Here’s the current list:
Puzzled Penguin 0
Student Penguin 50
Explorer Penguin 100
Busy Penguin 250
Parent Penguin 500
Wise Penguin 1000
Omniscient Penguin 2000
Now that the board has had its six month birthday, probably we need to increase the number of classes, to something like this:
0-49, 50-99, 100-249, 250-499, 500-999, 1000-1999, 2000-2999, 3000-infinity
That’s eight, so what names go with that lot? Here’s a suggestion from me:
Infant Suser
Child Suser
Teenage Suser
Cool Dude Suser
Parent Suser
Wise Suser
Shaman Suser
Omniscient Suser
Don’t let me have the default choice. Post your suggestions in this thread over the festive season and we’ll vote on the best of them to choose a new set for the new year.

Wow! Great titles!
Can I stay under: Cool Dude Suser after 499 post? This is the most kick-ass rank!

Heh! I wish to stay there for good ."Teenage Suser " Where the life and fun beginslol!
The idea is good, and I personally think the rank names should be funny, witty and catchy – even if naming consistency is lost in the process. Let me suggest a random bunch of ranks off the top of my head:
GNUbie
DistroHopper
Greenux
Toddler
openSucker
SuserUser
Masters open
Gekko Geek
Supersuser
Dr. SuSS
Keyser SuSE
GNUru
And openSusie would be great, err… maybe not.
I’m afraid I’ll be back soon with some more of these;)

Keep up the good work. We need to get a set of the best eight from your suggestions to put in the final poll.

What happened to the reptilian references? I can’t find my old post, but it went something like this:
newt (for newbie)
chameleon
geeko (a pun)
iguana
komodo
Bronto
T-Rex
Its late… I’m having a brain freeze. I’ll try to fix this up later.

Oh! and for the qualifying levels, use a Fibonacci series:
1-49 (you can’t start with 0 or we would have to send out random emails and assign strangers a level rotfl!)
50-99
100-200
201-350
351-600
601-1000
…my head hurts… like I said…its late

Please choose your honorifics/titles/tags/labels - openSUSE Forums

What are the good tags to use with post counts? - openSUSE Forums

Hey! My memory’s not so bad! Now, I’m thinking I have to come up with a series that relates more to the poster’s situation than to the little mascot.

Hi Swerdna,
How about also digging up the old propositions? I remember there being quite a few…
Cheers,

Just did a search : Please choose your honorifics/titles/tags/labels - openSUSE Forums
On the other hand… if it’s for Christmas… might as well go for Santa, his with and naming the elfs & reindeer… Oh wait… this was a serious forum?
