Hi guys. I really need your help for two research papers I'm writing on wotmania. This is part one. If you could take five minutes and fill out this survey, it would be incredibly helpful.

-What is your race?
Caucasian (though more than a little Pacific Islander)

-Do you think that there is an explicit hierarchy at wotmania? If so, how does it break down?
Actually I do. And its very simple. Its elders and newbies and people in limbo in between who call themselves midbies.

-Do you believe that there is a hierarchy at wotmania, but it isn’t officially noted by anyone? If so, how does this hierarchy break down?
Actually yes to that too. There's the "cool" people. TMJ, ngallagher, Wulf'gar, Obsidian Ashaman. They're their own elite cliche. Not that they're malicious about it, the cream just rises to the top

-Do the terms Elder, Midbie, and Newbie actually mean anything for a person, or is it just a title that establishes how long someone has been at the site?
It is just a title for length of time spent here, but when its hurled as an insult it takes on an entirely different meaning

-Do you think that the admins on the site are in higher standing than the other members?
Not neccesarily. The ones who have earned respect have it. Just because they were appointed by Mike doesnt give them automatic board cred.

-In your opinion, do those who post on the Community MB think that they are “better” than those on the WoT MB?
Yes, but the flip side is also true. The people at the WoT Board are equally arrogant.

-In your opinion, do those who post on the WoT MB think that they are “better” than those on the Community MB?
See above

Thank you.
Glad I could help dear.
