&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt; The levels are numbered, so I don't really see this as being much of a problem.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If we're all just going to talk about level numbers, then we might as well toss out titles altogether&lt;font size=-3&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&amp;dagger&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;. Who cares whether you are a level 14 Monk, a level 14 Wizard, a level 14 Cyber Punk or a level 14 Cabbage Patch Kid if all that matters is the "14"?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'll ask again, isn't this still Perl &lt;em&gt;Monks&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Really... diluting the site's theme shouldn't even be considered. If it is done, we will have definitely [wp://jumping the shark|jumped the shark].&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=-2&gt;&amp;dagger; Through most of my climb through the ranks here I never even knew what level &lt;em&gt;number&lt;/em&gt; I was; I just knew the title.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
