What you call "the Armageddon level" was actually a bit of tongue-in-cheek mischief which was started by Lisa; one of the moderators of the board. She did it to a few of the long-time members, and it came as a complete surprise to everyone.

Lisa has such a wicked sense of humor, and those alterations she made were so funny, that other long-time members said, HEY! What about me?!

That's when Susan (another Moderator) jumped in and added more.

Many of them are either plays on words or inside jokes. Take BK Akitas for example. Danni, among other things, is a champion dog breeder and trainer -- Black Knight American Akitas -- and has been a member for more than five years, having been a member of the Old Board. So, one of The Queens (Lisa or Susan) changed her Senior Membership to read; "Marking my territory one post at a time."

Maggers is a great fan of the program "LOST," and she lives in New York City, so "LOST in New York" is another appealing bit of humor.

And there you have it.
