I think that would be considered a subspecies of "The Disillusioned One".

How about the prog-Expert and attentive Lurker who only registers to post the answer to a difficult question on a very obscure issue put by someone in an obscure thread?

They're already covered under the "One Post Wonder", in most cases.

At first I was thinking nah....but a legend is a legend. Doesn't have to be good.

Walter is indeed the legend

I'm pretty sure I'm a full blown shredder now LOL That's pretty much all I do besides posting quite a few times in other threads and writing reviews.

4. "The Older Prog Fan" (Progis Ancientis >>> 40%

Usually aged well into his latter years, this member grew up with prog, and probably knows more about it than anyone else, that is, if he could remember through the drug fuelled days of the 60's and 70's. He can barely use text editor, and despite his obvious intellect, has little or no grasp of conventional grammar, or internet conventions. He is usually unaware that any prog exists beyond the typical symphonic artists, yet he is also a lovable forum character.

8. "The Joker" (Forumis Funnyite>>> 15%

The Joker is the light-hearted forum member. What he may lack in prog knowledge, he makes up wise-cracks, one-liners and general forum humour. The Joker is the best anti-troll weapon known on PA (besides the mod's 'anti-troll spray'), and can be seen roaming most sections of the forum at any given time making slightly inappropriate jokes about Chapman sticks and bald men.

11. "The Disillusioned One" (Forumis Apatheticus) >>> 15%

This is one of the rarer members, someone who for some reason has become extremely apathetic towards most aspects of the fourm. Unlike the 'Angry One', the Disillusioned member usually has no desire to argue with anyone, and will not protect his or her beleifs against attack. This member is most likely to have worked in the music industry, or to have taken too many drugs during the height of their youth. They exist in a semi-catatonic state for this reason.


14. "The Collab" (Forumis Collabourus) >>> 20%

The Collaborator is the pack mule of the forum. They devote hours of their day to serving the needs of their respective genre team, receiving only the adoration of fellow collabs as a reward. When not responding to new band suggestions from a seasoned Spammer, they can be found listening to mountains of myspace samples, voting on arbitrary charts or lurking in the nightmarish depths of the Collaborator Zone.


16. "The Legend" (Postis Iconis) >>> 10%

The Legend is a rogue, an icon - a member whose reputation precedes them. This member will probably have several thousand posts more than is healthy, and is most likely to be an ex-collab who grew to know too much. The Legend can be also hybrid of the 'Old Hand' and the 'Joker', and will often make unexpected appearances in threads, sometimes derailing them, other times enhancing discussions with well-placed articulate comments. A true icon of the forum, the Legend is one member that cannot be ignored or hidden behind quote trains - no matter how large and inane they may be.

17. "The Over-Zealous Reviewer" (Reviewis Zealoticus) >>> 30% (being the top reviewer....Confused)

This colourful creature has a habit of reviewing every album they own, have owned and indeed many albums they probably don't own. Fond of giving either 5 stars, or 1 star to any album that graces their headphones, the Zealous Reviewer will defend their crackpot opinions untill the very end. It doesn't bother them that they gave St. Anger 4/5, or that they rated ITCOTCK 2/5, all that matters is that they tried to sound overly verbose and intellectual. Even though the rest of the community knows they rush through reviews to out-do other reviewing zealots to their 'essential' 1000th review.


 
Excellent observationsClap and a fun readLOL
 
I recognized myself to various degrees in a few types you described and left my self-appreciation.
 
I know the total tops the 100%, but hey, I'm slightly larger than life anywayEmbarrassedWink
 
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
