I thought it might be mildly entertaining if we could see each monks title in the by lines for the nodes. Like:
Foobar       by  Saint vroom
Re: Foobar   by  Bishop btrott
Re: Foobar   by  Friar BBQ

Well we got these fancy titles, so why not use them :)

    At the lower levels it doesn't sound right:
    Initiate Fubar Novice Fubar Acolyte Fubar Scribe Fubar Monk Fubar
    would sound better as
    Fubar the Initiate Fubar the Novice Fubar the Acolyte Fubar the Scribe Fubar the Monk
    Then at the higher levels you could reverse it and add a subtitle:
    Friar Fubar - "Master of Gray Things in the Crispers of Refrigerators"
      Thats really a good point, but you could still have subtitles for the lower monks too, for example:
      Fubar the monk, perl guru of the corporate kitchen.

      I think the Titles are picked for us Saint merlyn according to the chart here. What did you have in mind for the subtitles? Something like: Foobar    by Friar perlmonkey The Lazy Bastard That would be fun to pick the subtitles. Or maybe even have them picked by peer monks.
        (rjimlad the worthless) Subtitles would be fun, but coult potentially be abused, or involve bad language... but what might be fun would be if you could select 'coder of...' <something> from a drop-down list or something. So I could be Initiate rjimlad, coder of CGI ... or something :)
      What subtitles? If we have subtitles i want an outline and i will gladly be section six. VI.

    _mildly_ is quite an understatement...
    It would be _hysterically_ entertaining. I'm still laughing just by looking at the example.
    Good idea perlmonkey!
