PG Xtremist - for members with good activity and consistently increasing number of post per specific period. Honestly, it never gave me any strange feeling neither heard from anyone.
I don't feel the need for change on it either. But Since you started this post. Pleas share us what name would you suggest?I see the rank pg xtremist with some members name .i think the word xtremist carry a negative tone with it .in my opinion it should be changed with a more meaningful rank .
Wasn't saying anything for fear or some people taking it the wrong way but I agree fully. First time I'm hearing of anyone not being okay with the Xtreme user title.[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION], [MENTION=139728]Soka[/MENTION], I beg to differ. PG Xtremist is not used in a pejorative sense, or is not analogous to the word extremism, which, of late, has taken a very negative meaning.
It's used in the sense that a PG Xtremist is a person who BREATHES PG, who is everywhere to be found, who is very active and therefore, is an 'extreme' member.
In ten or so years, this is the first time I've heard something of this sort. Nonetheless, all opinions are welcome and that is the reason we have this section on the forums. If you have an alternate name in mind, please let us know so that we can discuss further the possibilities of changing things, if the need be.

It never has had a negative connotation in my time being here. We don't have to take a word literally without context.[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION], [MENTION=139728]Soka[/MENTION], I beg to differ.

well TBH never found anything wrong with the word xtremist here on pg..
[/FONT]but if we really have to change it etc than lets put out some new titles for pg xtreme members
pg loyalists ? pg saints [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]
then the word extreme is better rather then extremist . This is the oxford dictionary meaning of the word extremist .@NaNoW, @Soka, I beg to differ. PG Xtremist is not used in a pejorative sense, or is not analogous to the word extremism, which, of late, has taken a very negative meaning.

This is a gaming forum, not an English Language class. But, while we are at it, the dictionary also defines it as:then the word extreme is better rather then extremist . This is the oxford dictionary meaning of the word extremist .
- a person who holds extreme political or religious views, especially one who advocates illegal, violent, or other extreme action.
then go ahead and make a terrorist rank also as advised by bhalluThis is a gaming forum, not an English Language class. But, while we are at it, the dictionary also defines it as:
"Extremist - a supporter or advocate of extreme doctrines or practices."
An Extremist here, like I mentioned earlier, is a person who's madly in love with PG, being crazy active and, well, basically, more than just a member.
P.S. The userclass IS PG Xtreme. A member of the group would therefore be a PG Xtremist.
P.P.S. Where we're discussing English to the root meanings, "fanatic" is a word that shouldn't be used at all, either, by gamers. But guess what, we, gamers, hardly ever truly use a 'strong' word in its literal form. Everything has context and its very important to see it.
I hope this makes sense!
