"Groundhog" is a board "rank" which changes with the number of posts you've made.  At 1,000,000 posts, you are crowned "Uber Major General Sky Captain, Emperor of the Clouds", or something like that.  ;)

(The last is a joke, of course, but the first sentence sumas up the rank thing.)

Boikat is a Major, therefore he looks up to me.

I am a Colonel, therefore I look down on him.

Its the way the system works. I have more medals on my chest.

Paul... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

Yep, as Fozzer & Boikat say your Rank signifies how many posts you have made.

A while back when the forum got revamped, I was a 'God' for about a week until I was stripped of my stripes and heavenly duties!  ;D Now I'm just a Major (pain).
