Forum Suggestion/Request

I don't know about other people, but I find the term "Forum God" a bit... annoying? Insulting?
I know most people probably don't care, but mightn't it be changed to something else? Or perhaps customized?
For example, if I were to continue to play (which I plan to) Arimaa for a long time, the last thing I'd want is to be called a "forum god".
Thanks for considering (if this is possible on these forums),

Honestly, I don't like the levels at all. What are they good for? It isn't based on anything except number of posts. I've posted more times than anyone, but that doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about. If the ranks are based purely on quantity, then I think the highest rank should be "Blabbermouth".

I will only agree to be forum god if you all start calling me "Zeus" (The one with the big bolt of lightning in his hand).

How about using the animals in Arimaa as ranks?

I wonder if that is configurable. I'll check.

Can't change the titles, but I can change the number of posts required for the title. Currently it is:
Newbie 0-5
Junior Member 5+
Full Member 10+
Senior Member 25+
God 50+
I'll just set God to a million or so

I think he will approve  Too bad you can't change the titles, but thanks for looking into it anyway.

I don't believe for a moment one can't change the titles. Based on some research I am led to believe that one can make the appropriate changes by being logged in as an Admin on this forum and then following the following route: Admin->Admin Center->Member Controls->Member Groups->Post Dependent Member Group.

Hey thanks for find that aaaa. I guess I didn't dig around enough. As a test I changed it to "Forum Guru" for 50+ postings; and it seems to be working.
So should we use levels like "Forum ___" or something like Karl suggested?

Regardless of which titles are picked, I think that a change of the corresponding post count ranges is in order given the posting habits of the members here. Fritzlein's proposal might fit the bill in that respect.
