  • Honorary spiderlings

    I have been away from the forum for a few weeks but am now back in the world free of my padded cell, although the medication continues :P
    I have noticed that in my absence everyone on the forum apart from the BTS management has been given the honorary title of 'spiderling' This is all very cute but I was wondering if this is the lowest rank in a progression up some kind of league table. If so, does one progress through juvenile, sub adult and finally acheive the top accolade of mature male/female, and by what means
    It cannot be by shere number of postings as GW, our most prolific contributor is still only a spiderling himself
    Maybe we have to do special things to be awarded 'promotions' Maybe we get voted on by the management at the AGM or drawn out of a hat
    Is there a quota system whereby only very few places are available at the higher levels and once filled, that's that

    I could go on but I sense you are already bored and anyway - it's time for my tablets

      ah ha
      someone noticed!
      I have been adding ranks for a bit of laugh.... just get to over a 1000 post and you will be Andrew M Smith!

      Under that you have:
      Nymph
      Spiderling
      Juvenile
      Sub-Adult
      Adult
      The various BTS Committee names, ending up with Andrew Smith. If you post over 2000 you will have to find out!
      Have fun
      Mark

        Good stuff Mark - most amusing. I notice that since I started this post last night there has been a massive flurry of overnight promotions amongst the membership. I myself have gone from a spiderling to a juvenile - a particularly apt description I might add

        Having far too much free time on my hands between medications I have researched your progression table as it stands at the moment and found it to be thus:-

        0-4 postings - No ranking - presumably still in the eggsack
        5-14 - Nymph
        15-49 - Spiderling. By far the biggest group
        50-59 - Juvenile. A strangely narrow band which I will soon grow out of
        60-99 - Sub Adult
        100-? - Adult

        Can we chose what species we want to be

        Damien - just one more post by my reckoning gets you a promotion

              Ranking system

              Interesting progression Mark.

              Was wondering why all my oldest tarantulas were starting to grow breads and smoke pipes. Now I know - in a couple of years all my spiders will be Brachypelma andrewsmithi
