Why did you take my beautiful fey name away? Does it rotate or something?

It changes depending on the amount of posts. Doesn't really mean anything, just for fun.

Alas, we all have to get bigger sometime. As Vorpal said, it doesn't really mean anything and it's all just in fun.

I'm not sure if I'm breaking geis, but I'll say this: Pixie = 0-49 posts. Halfling = 50-99 posts. For various reasons, prolonged discussion concerning post rankings is discouraged on this forum. The ranks don't really mean anything, as everyone is ostensibly equal here. Some people look still see it as Pixie=Noob, but that's a gross simplification (especially considering many long-time members of the WotC/Gleemax boards are ending up as refugee-pixies here).

It's also a simplifcation because amount of time posting on a message board has literally no correlation with knowledge in any particular subject area.

Ok, I'm going to stop talking about this now.

Not to mention the people on the SMBG boards where you posts don't count to post count.....

*leaves thread and discussion*

Thank you, and sorry. I should have read a bit more before posting.

However, is it allowed to ask why there are no elves or kobolds on that list? :smallsmile:

Because usually elves are immortal and the only true immortals here are the giant and his moderators.

Because Kobolds have their own group, but its secret I think.

@^ It's also kind of a... progression of larger and larger monsters, and all the ones after Bugbear are Giantkin... Hmmm, I wonder if there could be some kind of clever joke here?

Because there's always someone like you who crops up to post it?

The slayer of egos sayeth sooth. Yon link bears true knowledge on the subject. Further more can be said not. Threadth Locketh. :smallwink:
