Considering this is an online forum, I like the idea of using a system that incorporates an idea from doing something online, but I have never heard of any of those terms (at least in this context) and I like to cosider myself computer and internet savvy. . . . If anything is used, then there should at least be an explanation posted somewhere that's easily accessible to users.

I'm pretty sure that at this time the discussion is moot....new titles are already in place..

I highly oppose Leecher being used as a forum title. While in the technical sense leechers are a good thing, a single person being referred to as a leecher or leech sure isn't. It would most likely **** a lot of people off.. even to the point of stopping completely to post before reaching Leecher rank.

hell, I'd rather be labeled as a leecher as opposed to a releaser or grand master..
