  • I think I will always treasure keeperbie when I get there...but I can make that my personal title.  I think the QT needs a new start...with brand new titles.  I would suggest we honor the titles other

    I love Bonnie's idea......thankyou for bringing it here Nancy so it didnt get overlooked. :) It just seems so appropriate! New home, new names.....train.....I just love it :)

  • Personally, not that I really care, but 'Passenger' is way to passive a name for someone taking a massive step and quit smoking.   I appreciate there's appears to be a need to create a hierarchy, b

I agree with Rob.  Passenger kinda feels like you're just riding along.  

 

Hmmm..  

 

I still like Newbie for newbs.  Maybe Old Timers for the 1+.  Maybe Teen for the 6 mos to a year???

 

I'm not sure about this one.  Pharte was okay with me too though.  :)

Yes, I see the points and agree.  I like Newbie for newbie too.  It says it all really.

I'm hoping more will weigh in with idea's.  We don't have to make a decision quickly.

I do think we should move away from pharte for the new members but it would be nice if

whatever is chosen has a spark to it like pharte does.  I am just not having any great idea's.

I like newbie, too...but if we want to sty with train idea, maybe traveler for the first stage?  There are so many creative people here, surely we can get more ideas?

It's definitely a matter of perspective.

 

I personally don't like newbie. It reminds me of the insult "what are you new?"

 

Never liked old pharte seems stinky to me.

 

 

To me passenger means Ive got my ticket and I'm getting on board. I suppose they could be coal shovelers to signify the hard work they are doing I was just trying to find train related terms.

Sorry Bonnie but I'm not into the train ones to be honest, I will pass on calling myself that.

Junior, newbug, swan, keeper, lifer,

Newb, newbee, newbug.

Jack, king, queen

Rock, paper, scissors

Bacon, Egg, Sausages.

Crawlers, walkers, runners

Ooopps gone off on a makeuppyy rampage;)

Number of posts and join date is all that's necessary to get an idea of people's quits. Color coding people for status purposes is demeaning, but we've lost the ability to see that as Failbook Nation has reached critical mass.

 

Color the magic pony.

The term you are looking for might be Padawan.

So Padawan would replace grasshopper?

Sorry Bonnie but I'm not into the train ones to be honest, I will pass on calling myself that.

 

Agree

Agree

What do you think of the ones I just suggested?

So Padawan would replace grasshopper?

 

If you want the whole Jedi-consistent thing.  If not ... then Grasshopper it is.

I want to emphasize again...BonnieJ had this great idea!

Apologies!

Yoda quotes are my fave.

Could also use the term storm trooper.  I like that for a newbie.  :)

Hmmmmm

 

Bacon, Egg, Sausages

LOL!!! 

We need this choice in the pole.

I change my vote! 

Hmmmmm

 

Bacon, Egg, Sausages

Don't forget hash browns  :D

I'm obsessed...

 

Novice

Soldier

Warrior 

Peacekeeper

I remember when I first quit we had a group and we called ourselves warriors.  NoSmoWarriors.  A newbie really is a warrior.  IMO

 

Just thinking out loud.

I haven't voted, I don't really think it matters what we're called along the way as long as we get to the goal (not smoking) :)
