The Wolves
These are the smartest animals in the forums. They either have knowledge and experience in the discussion topics, or they have the talents to make up for the lack of. They are very protective of their territory, and they always travel in packs. Wolves are carnivores, so they prey on clueless newbies. Occasionally, wolves would disagree with each other, and when that happens, there would be two possible outcomes. 1. They work out the differences and respect each other more. 2. An alpha male emerges after an intense debate filled external references. The wolf that lost would go into hiding.
The Trolls
These are people who seek joy from disturbing the peace in the forums. They feed on anger and chaos. They do so by starting threads with sensitive topics. The trolls are not welcomed in any community, and that goes the same for sgF. Trolls don't stay very long, as they make enemies quickly and need to be on the run in order to survive. When they do linger, they are either killed by the Rangers, or get driven out by the Wolves.
The Rangers
Also known as the moderators. Their job is to maintain the integrity of the forums. They patrol the forum to kill trolls and herd back stray squirrels. Their number is few so sometimes they rely on others to help them do their jobs.
The Bunnies
Also known as forum junkies. Bunnies are lovable creatures who hop from one forum to the other. They post playful, and often meaningless, posts. They post all the time, and they multiply. Bunnies are mostly harmless, but in large number, they can still easily overrun any newbie.
The Squirrels
The squirrels are like the Bunnies, except they don't hop around as much. They could go days without being seen. Occasionally, they stray away and post in the wrong forum, and then a Ranger would have to herd them back to where they belong. Some squirrels eventually become Bunnies.
The King
Also known as Chief Janitor. He owns sgForums and her sister sites. He's deathly afraid of the Trolls so he hired the Rangers to patrol his land. He has the power to exterminate dark forces and invaders.
The Monkeys
These are the annoying whiners in the forums. They are not as smart as the Wolves, but also not as disruptive as the Trolls. They like to beat dead horses and throw coconuts at the King. They are not the most popular ones in the forums but they are not going away either. The Rangers cant do anything about them, and frankly, they don't give a banana either.
In short: Play with the bunnies, be friends with the wolves. Respect the Rangers, stay away from the Trolls. Hail the King, and let the Monkeys be ignored.
