Initially, the first few people to notice the April Fool’s changes and start a thread in ATMB about it were made Moderators. Cicero came in and figured out the theme, so he was made Administrator. From there, it spawned into pretty much everyone responding to any of the threads about the April Fool’s changes being given a title related to their post in some way.

Examples, from memory:

And here are some more from Marley’s post:

> There were many others, yes. People who started threads in ATMB had their user titles set to moderator - **NineToTheSky** , **Autolycus** and **Gyrate** were among them, but I don’t think we kept a list - and **Cicero** was clept Administrator. **SoulFrost** and was **twickster** were fake banned. I’ll see if we wrote down all the arbitrary titles people either asked for or were given as a joke. Here’s a partial list:
> 
> **Oakminster** : Will Work For Food  
> **Qadgop the Mercotan** : Serious Wolf Ass [his request]  
> **Mona Lisa Simpson** : The Mods Went On Vacation and All I Got Was This Crappy Title

> **Doctor** : Lord of Time and Space But Not Now and Not Here  
> **CannyDan** : Kitteh Wrangler
