i apologise here as i'm one of them ! but i do have a reason if that makes up for it ? things always come across wrong on the internet as you cant see whether im smiling or scowling so i add emoticons so i look happy etc or in this embarrased as you will probably see this as no excuse

The lolopotomus : the poster who ends everything with lol.

• help, i think my beardie is dying lol
• my dogs dead lol
• my new hair cut lol

Brilliant!

Couple more for you -

Emotithusiast: Put a stupidly large amount of emoticons - often repeated and completely pointless - in their post eg.
"My snake shed/ate an elephant/had a haircut :cen sor::no 1: "


Postcounthunter - Usually a newbie to the forum desperate to up their postcount and making pointless posts such as 'lol'.

[*H*]

The Swapollecter - One who is just passing through this hobby until something else grabs their fancy, Probably collected pogs as a child.

Hows about the Noobspert?

The keeper who has a Leopard Gecko and Corn Snake, so is now qualified to offer advice on everything, from handling Green Anacondas to identifying Old World Spiders.

And the opposite of the Noobspert - the Stealthspert.

Someone who might not post often, might not list an entire zoo's worth of species in their signature file... but has been keeping for years, keeping up with modern research, and knows an awful lot about their chosen species and/or quite a few species, including some things that might contradict "common knowledge". Hearing from one of these guys - especially on a controversial-care thread - is brilliant fun.

Can we also have the Competokeeper?

Thats the person who is always in competition with others, generally posting with...

"I've like totally got more experience than ..."

or: "My Burm is the best because its 1/16th of an inch bigger than yours"

or: "My post has several words that are longer than any of yours, and therefore I'm better."

I love the fact that I can put usernames to almost everyone of these terms!

Loving them all!


Cheers

At the risk of threadromancy, how about apostrophobic? Someone who has no grasp at all of how apostrophes work and either avoids them altogether, sticks them in at random, or alway's use's them for word's that end in S.
