-What is your race?
White. Pale-y so.
-Do you think that there is an explicit hierarchy at wotmania? If so, how does it break down?
yeah. there are a few, in my mind. admins->regular users, elders->midbies->newbies are the main ones, though I'm sure there are some others. Any way it goes, though, I think it's a pretty loose/relaxed hierarchy - nothing like castes, etc.
-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?
probably the elder->->newbie one. See above. It's not nearly as big a deal as it used to be (not that it ever was, but it's even less so now), but I think it's still a form of hierarchy.
-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?
I believe the terms to much more reflect a person's attitude towards the site, its members, etc, as opposed to a length-of-time-attending definition.
-Do you think that the admins on the site are in higher standing than the other members?
not particuarily. But then, it depends on your definition of higher standing. If you mean socially, no. if you mean it in terms of responsibilities and authorities, then yeah.
-In your opinion, do those who post on the Community MB think that they are “better” than those on the WoT MB?
I believe that there are a few people who think so, though most people are relaxed enough about such things that it really doesn't matter.
-In your opinion, do those who post on the WoT MB think that they are “better” than those on the Community MB?
same as above.
