............You are guaranteed a good laugh from time to time. Tonight I nearly fell of my chair laughing when I learned that I am now designated "Nimble" . From a physical point of view nothing could be further from the truth - I am as clumsy as it is possible to be; from a mental point of view I am slow and ditheringly indecisive. So I have come to the conclusion that the reference must be to Nimble as in the loaf of bread - all crust and no substance.
i have been having a quick read through some of my recent posts and I think "agitator" or "tormentor" might be more appropriate. Oh how I envy the Luminescents, the Enigmas, the Regulars, the Digital Dons and the Rising Stars of this world. Will I ever achieve such levels?

I am not getting involved in name calling
All I WILL say is this...I hate the rank of Regular...it's silly and leads to all sorts of rude comments. (Mainly from myself)
Radiant yes....Luminescent ...definitely.... REGULAR??? Pfffttttt
SUCH disappointment when I had the PM from Toby 'Congratulating me on my new rank' (I think I would rather have been called Nurse Ratchet)
Soooo... @jonsie when you meet up with @perksie could you kindly give him a big hug from me...
and then .....smack him round the head for his nonsensical suggestion...
On a serious note, I personally do like the ranking system (even though I don't like all of the names attached).... I know that probably won't be a popular comment, but its how I feel...

Regular = "having clear dimensions that can be measured; volume can be determined with a suitable geometric formula"

just to chuck my 2pennorth into the conversation I do like the ranking system, but not all of the names, as some of them are meaningless ..... but ..... some are funny I am Rising Star, which I like the sound of, but do not deserve, as I am not tecchie enough ..... = ..... very much a beginner ..... but learning ..... & ..... making some progress as much as I'm able to ..... I do not aspire to be Regular ..... = ..... tee hee hee that's ..... Ahem ..... my business

See?? Even the normally demure @Anonymous has started with the 'Regular' jokes....
(safe in the knowledge she is a Rising Star)
I notice someone has suggested Cougar.....that would do for me...
In fact thinking about it...lets base the names round cats..... house cats and Big Cats
Kitten
Tabby
Ginger
Persian
Siamese
Burmese
Manx....to name but a few...then we could go on to
Cheetah
Cougar
Leopard
Tiger
Lion etc etc etc etc
Ah well dream on Cleo..you are destined to stay 'Regular'

Oh definitely not just felines @Cleoriff If we are going to have aminals at least let us have a good mixture. We need heavyweights (rhinos, effelants & hippos) as well as the flighty catty ones, and not forgetting the slippery slithery ones too - pythons, cobras, rattlesnakes. And for the really bright boys and girls - we have to have Birds of Paradise. And for another section we need the Monkeys, Chimps and Gorillas. The scoring system would obviouly have to have a Darwinian basis to show the gradual mutation from level to level, which could be applied ona regular basis of course.
