: The Flamers:
: No, not the gay guys. These people control the board population. They weed out the weak like a lion stalking its next pray. These people are harmless unless they get The Followers to back them up. They are very similar to The Mutha Fuckers, but they are more articulate in their posts.
: The Followers:
: Who will agree to just about anything you say unless it strongly goes against their moral values. These people are mainly newbies who have spent some quality time on the board but still fear their newbie status. For the most part, the followers respond to every poll or caption, spend their time learning “inside information” and memorizing movies.
: The Newbies:
: The newcomers on the board who have been there less than 2 months. They have been told once or twice to read the summaries. Some newbies fall gracefully into The Follower roll, others do or say the wrong thing and try and redeem themselves by becoming The Multiple Personality Poster.
: The Multiple Personality Poster:
: This is the newbie that royally fucked up but would still like to post on the board. The biggest trait of these people are the trail of lies they leave behind as they try to re-invent themselves again and again. These people always get caught but they will swear on their mother’s grave that they are not the original person. The Watchers always know a Multiple Personality Poster from a mile away.
: The Watchers:
: These people sit back most of the day and read the posts. They have an insatiable need to learn everything about everyone and use that knowledge for good or evil. The Watchers point out inconsistencies in the stories of The Newbies and make it known to the rest of the group that this person may not last too much longer. The Muthah Fuckers make sure that these group of newbies get the verbal bashing they deserve.
: The Mutha Fuckers:
: They are the ones who will eat you alive and clean their teeth with your bones. Most of the time they are hysterical to The Renegades, The Watchers and The Followers but scare the hell out of The Newbies and The Multiple Personality Poster. If you survive their attack, you are very lucky. When it is over, you may ask yourself, did I deserve that? The answer is? They don’t care. Be lucky to be alive and move on.
: The Renegades:
: The board regulars who deserve respect (even if they haven’t earned it). A dubious title that also holds a burden that not too many people can carry. The Renegades know more than you and you just need to accept it and move on. The followers are most often seen hovering around the Renegades to get into the inner circle. Most people will claim to be a Renegade, but they are more of The Others roll.
:
: The Others:
: The people who hang around like fly paper. The more than occasional poster who is not a Follower but not yet a Renegade. They are stuck in Askewbian limbo. The Others can usually pick any poster type and fall into the roll seamlessly, even if it is for a brief moment. They are a very important element to the board as they keep it going on a daily basis. They usually pick good topics, the funniest captions and the most in-depth polls.
:
: The Opinionated:
: For Christ sakes, they have an opinion on everything. They play a delicate roll as some of them claim to be an “expert” on anything that is topic for that day. They are usually claimed to have a higher education than most, so you should believe them. These people either calm down and take a roll less visible or they stay on The Opinionated path and one of The Watchers out them, then the vicious circle of being knocked down begins.
