    Just a suggestion, but maybe have more user categories other than just Peon and Grunt.

    This is, of course, for the regular, non-mod, non-Alien users.

    I'm sure the folks here can come up with some great suggestions, if you guys don't have any already in mind.

    Thanks for the suggestion,

    We're considering this, perhaps as early as the next update, depending on how easy it goes. Hopefully it will be available in the next few days or so?

    Everyone is welcome to list some cool user levels right here in this thread if they wish, you might just get yours selected. .

    Current levels are Alien Master (admin), Alien Apprentice (mods), Alien Grunt (members with 25 posts), and Alien Peon (those with under 25 posts). We'll add a bunch, just give us some good ones. .

    How about:
    Alien Worker
    Alien Drone

    Let's be honest: we're all really drones around here anyway. .

    Early ones could be Alien Bait or Alien Meal (reference to the Alien movie series)

    Alien Probe?? (ouch)

    Alien Invasion?

    Alien Invader?

    Ok, not so great ideas...

    Definitely NOT Alien Elite... Please, I'd have to shoot someone if that is a level .

    Keep 'em coming. .

    ...and I think we'll leave anything 'elite' off the list. .

    Some of my favorites you've mentioned are drone, hunter, commander, invader, in addition to some others I've previously added.

    I'm going to put a couple more hours into some more code updates tonight, I really gotta get this up soon. . Just a few more bug fixes and 1 more hack to finish this weekend...

    Then I can finally concentrate more on the other areas of the site as well.

    Of the ones that've been posted, I like Commander, Drone, and Hunter...

    And there's just something about "Alien Prober"...sounds kinda sick at first, but it grows on you...

    Plus, it can either mean the best of the best (I mean, come on, who's going to mess with a Prober) or the lowest of the low (I mean come on, who wants to be a Prober)...

    Just my $0.02 .

    These are the ones we like so far:

    Abductee, Larvae, Peon, Grunt, Drone, Hunter, Soldier, Invader, Prober, Commander, Overlord, Hive Mind

    These don't include the admins or moderators.

    What do you think?

    maybe you could do like
    "Alien Overmind" could be you
    and "Alien Overlords" could be mods
    (me play starcraft? never .)

    Have you decided what post #s would correspond to each of the user categories?

    I need to get going on these posts. Don't want to get stuck as an Alien Prober (There's just nothing attractive about being a "Prober"-eeeew).

    *Probee or Prober- Which line will you be standing in?*
