Excuse my ignorance, but what does the "Sea Gull", "Snowy Owl", "Phoenix" etc. stand for under an author's name on a post. I am having an identity crisis cos I used to be a "Butterfly" and now I am a "Tufted Titmouse"! !

they correspond with how many posts you make. AFter a certain amount you're a phoenix and then eventually you can make your own title.

Oh, thanks. Is there anywhere on the site where you can read what the list of names are?

I don't know.

I did not know about this.

What does Emu Egg mean anyway? I didn't pick it.

I've personally enjoyed seeing my title change as I continue to goof off at work and post too much. I have no idea how the names were selected, but they are rather interesting.

Emu Egg is where you tend to start off. I did see a list somewhere, a long time ago. Once you hit a thousand posts (I think it's a thousand) you can pick your own moniker/logo/whateveryacallit.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I have hunted around the site and found some info under FAQs. Here is what I found. Apparently they are all flying things and as you put more posts you go become a stronger and more beautiful flying thing. And here I thought that a Titmouse was a mouse and that I was keen to get off the rodent level!

This is pasted from another post:
I started making this list a short time after I joined. I'm not sure if it's completely accurate, but it should be close, within a few posts.
