Alternate title for Administrator?

    I'm curious to know what alternate titles people use in place of Administrator. I'm considering changing my title to Web Flunky on one forum, as a slightly humorous way of saying I mostly work on the back end while the other admins handle the members. On other forums where I have more of a Jill-of-all-trades role I'd also like to change it to something a little less staid. Your ideas?

    On my forums, I use a custom title that matches the content. Such as on my gaming forum, I use the title of "old school player".

    On my survival forum, I use the title of "survivalist".

    On my site at one time it was Mission Control, but it's back to Founder/Admin. What ever your niche is I'm sure there is something unique you could use if your tired of admin.

    One on forum if you find me it say's I'm the Resident Adult. On another I'm referrred to as one of the Elders. You can get pretty creative sometimes. I use to be part of a role playing forum and the admins where called the High Counsel.

    Most of my forum staff and me used to be members of a forum called Project-Ion. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what the administrators referred to themselves as, but I know that moderators were called "The Agents," and even had long (but thin) signatures with those words and one of two screen shots from The Matrix.

    Well on my forum I got into a friendly scuffle with a member that left me defeated so I created a new admin group called BANNED LOLS that I've been in since. Reviewers haven't noticed that it has the same red font as the Administrator so they think there's only one administrator. There's only been like two people who have noticed it and they liked the small joke.

    Seeing as how I own a wrestling forum, that's an alternative I would use.

    Creativity is what sets you apart. At my forum I'm in the usergroup "Blind Bandit" Which is a play on of my username which is a character of the forum subject. This being a show. But it can be a number of things. Just use your imagination.

    Not of a fan of things like "community manager", either professional or funny, it's when you start to elaborate on the words too much it results in a pretentious feel.

    You could always go with "Leader", "Boss", "President", or "Founder".
    Of course, Boss would be kind of funny lol
