The only levels in the "site group" that comprises the top-level of bungie.net are

Bungie.net Staff
Forum Ninja
Master Forum Ninja
Banhammer
Content Lackey
Member
Anonymous

Everything else is what is called a "Special Title" which overrides the normal role title display, but otherwise grants nothing. Notable special Titles include Bungie.net Overlord and Community Guy. In addition, there is also a special designation called "superuser" which is an override that allows people like me to see and access everything without being subject to security checks. Access to that mode, as you might imagine, is highly restricted.

EDIT: There is also a title called "Theme Master", which a member recieves after sending a new theme or avatar to 7themes@bungie.net, and having it accepted and used in the community. You don't get any special powers, but you get a title under your name. There are currently five Theme Masters: Psyched, Sir Fragula, mrsmiley, akba and gruntsbane. There's also the Certain Affinity Guy, which position Shishka is currently occupying.

What about Emotional Support?

a superuser is someone who helps Achronos with the website.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

To surmise, a superuser is basically an admin, who has unrestricted access to the entire site. They're Gold Texters, and all of the Gold Texters are site admins. Sawnose and Running Turtle are the most visual super users, even though we rarely see them. They do a lot of the behind the scenes site maintenance.

The other Gold Texters are the the Bungie.net Overlord (Achronos), The Community Guy (SketchFactor), the Content Monkey (Frankie). All of whom are absolutely necessary components of this site, despite what everyone says about Frankie.

Bungie.net Cabin Boy is KP's title. He helps Frankie write up and submit content on the main page. He's another "looking glass" the we can use to see what goes on at Bungie.

Bungie Online Team are contracted specialists who help Bungie and in turn Bungie.net operate. They do a lot of for this site, so thank one the next time you see one.

Bungie Staff, are the other Bungie employees who interact with this site, but also who don't need admin status. Such as Marty or Lorraine. Should you get a little excited when you see them, don't be ashamed, because its perfectly normal. It happens to almost everyone.

Forum ninjas are the forum moderators. They're the meanest, dumbest, and overall most useless users with special titles.

Master Forum ninjas are just that, Forum ninjas who have been given extra leeway to moderate the forums. They are the smartest and most capable moderators, but they're still jerks, so I'd stay away from them if I were you.

Theme Masters are users who have created and later had their themes accepted for the Seventh Column chapters. They get a special title and a custom avatar for their valiant efforts.

Emotional Support is the title that has been given to the Disembodied Soul. He is a frightening construct, and I suggest you run in the other direction if you ever see him. He can (and most likely will) hurt you if you let him get to close to you.

The members are the real bread and butter of this site. They are the million strong rabid Bungie fans, who this site was created to satiate. The members are all of you, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that were it not for all of you, there wouldn't be any of the other titled users here either. So you're all the most important component to this site.

Anonymous User (Deleted) are the ghosts left over from former members who had their accounts deleted due to inactivity.

Oh no, I forgot about Shishka's title. How could I be some mentally dim? Shishka is currently working at Certain Affinity, Max Hoberman's new studio. They are making the new maps for Halo 2, so they still deserve your respect and admiration. Being that Shishka is still the most feared ninja (even though he's no longer moderating) and is working for a former Bungie big-wig, he gets a title of his own now.

He is, the Certain Affinity Guy.

Hope that helps give you some insight into the way this site works.

The Next Hawtness, as I am calling it, must have a return of the Soul. I'm sure the new servers are more than able to contain him this time.

His title used to be "Bungie Online Team", but his contract expired, so he lost it. I know he used to make images for the site, but I don't really know much about what specifically he was doing here. He still rocks though.

It's because Bungie Studios paid for airplane tickets to Japan where they received training in Advanced Ninjary. They are such efficient Ninjas that they are only detectable in the slightest spike in Alpha particle emissions from your computer...

You're not looking hard enough.

Of course, once you see them, it is probably too late. Too late for you, that is.

Oh, and about AGDTinMan and the "What exactly was he doing here?" question?

I think I know. ;)
Actually, if you step back and look at that, that doesn't explain anything about what he was doing here. :\ Ironic.

Oh, that, and constantly asking Shishka to make out with him in Igni. :\ Kind of awkward, to say the least. I think they had a little thing going.
