-What is your race?

I dislike this question. I think it's useless to lable people like this because where do you draw the line? Is one drop enough? You have to be 1/8th to get scoloarships... I dislike it entirely. I never answer it on government stuff, I put "other", so you can use that one.

-Do you think that there is an explicit hierarchy at wotmania? If so, how does it break down?

Yes.

Elders- mean grumpy people who nobody likes (well, they like eachother), and the like no one. These people are like cratchity old men who have forgotten how to make friends. They tolerate Midbies.

~gray area~

Midbies- generally nice people who have been around a while and sometimes get irritated at new people, but generally accept them (as long as they aren't too annoying).

~gray area~

Nameless- those who are not yet aknowledged as midbies, but are not really "n00bs" they don't do stupid stuff, elders still hate them and call them newbies.

Newbies- really annoying new people who don't know the rules of the community, can apparently not read or type, and generally make a neusence of themselves by not paying attention to the behavior of others around them.

-Do you believe that there is a hierarchy at wotmania, but it isn’t officially noted by anyone? If so, how does this hierarchy break down?

Well people say it in subtle ways. Mostly it is a community much like a real life community, with it's own values, standards and customs.

-Do the terms Elder, Midbie, and Newbie actually mean anything for a person, or is it just a title that establishes how long someone has been at the site?

Umm I think that being called a Midbie by a Midbie, or a nice elder, is honorriffic. It denotes respect and acceptance and it means a lot to me.

-Do you think that the admins on the site are in higher standing than the other members?

Some are, but it has more to do with visability and the amount of respect they command with thier own character. Some admins are made fun of by everyone.

-In your opinion, do those who post on the Community MB think that they are “better” than those on the WoT MB?

Some do. I don't really. I only know that I can't hold half the WoT information in my head than most of the WoT board people hold in their pinki nail. That's why I stay away.

-In your opinion, do those who post on the WoT MB think that they are “better” than those on the Community MB?

Yes. Some of them do. I have "heard" people bost of their pride at not being as snobbish as those on the Comm MB... I think it's silly really. I really couldn't care less who is better. It has been my experience that those who think they are better are mistaken, and those who talk about being better rarely ever show it.

Thank you.
