User titles
Instead of "Ranks", users who post in the forums have a title below his or her user name. This title changes as a user's post count grows. The list was changed in early 2009, though some titles such as "Whisker Whacker" kept their previous place in the title hierarchy.
Here is an approximate list of the current titles. Above 2000 posts, it gets messy to figure out which titles are automatic and which are custom.

WWND?
Left to the user's imagination. Obviously a reference to the "What Would Jesus Do?" wristbands popular with some population segments in the USA. Some reports indicate that the title means "What would Nick do?", as Nick is a founding member of B&B.
The official B&B answer about WWND? is this: "From time immemorial, from the very bowels of the primordial soup of B&B, this phrase has sprung from the lips in times of great strife and turmoil: WWND?"[1]
Vendors
Vendor members have "Vendor" appended to the end of their custom title, or simply have "Vendor" as their custom title. Vendor members have a small set of additional conditions/restrictions placed upon their forum behavior.
