What about a prohibition theme?
Like the fight againest ignorance, the Prohibition had a fight that was ultimately againest ignorance.

If you thought that the gangsters were ignorant:
Cecil could be Master Volstead
Mods could be Wickersham Investigators
Admin could be Judicial Review
Members could be Deputies
Guests could be Interns
Banned Men could be Clyde
Banned Women could be Bonnie

Or (the one I like better…)

If you think that the Prohibition Act was ignorant:
Cecil could be Al Capone (or Master Scarface) since the Chicago connection and the fact that they both were the best at what they fought (Ignorance and Prohibition respectivly"
Mods could be Bookeepers
Admin could be Danos (I forget the name, but it means “godfather”)
Members who were Female could be Bonnie(or Flappers), those who were Male could be Clyde(or Gangster)
Guests could be Learning the Ropes
Banned members could be Sleeping With the Fishes (SWtF) or Popped

What you say?

For me (or anyone else who wants the title)-

Full of Baloney
Stoned as a Newt
Drunk as a Frat boy
Useless
Ignorant and losing the battle

I think I rather like that last one myself…:wink:

Cecil: God
Little Ed: Messiah
Admin: Disciple
Mods: Prophet
Charter Members: Sr. Shepard
Members: Jr. Shepard
Guests: Sheep
Banned: Chastised

Guinastasia has nearly 18,500 posts now.

Well, it’s the fight against ignorance, right?

for general members:

Soldier

Legionnaire

or we could just go with the good old plain:

Addict

Oh it will. At least Guinastasia and Libertarian are charging full speed ahead even as I type. Lib has farther to go, but a sustained talkative stretch will get him there soon enough.
