Wow, and there was me thinking it was numerical order. :silent:

I am perhaps over sensitive, but would welcome this, or other titles that do not refer to people as 'gods', however lightheartedly. It's not a hang-up and I am not proselytising but I have always felt a little uncomfortable about it, though not sufficiently to make a fuss until I noticed this thread was 'resurrected'.

I have to admit that the only time I notice my forum ranking is when it has changed.

Each of us will face this question at least once in a year.
