1. lennytheweedwhacker - This poster tops the list after a triumphant return following a week-long period of absence. He came armed with a new, swaggerific posting aesthetic but settled nicely back into the regular style. A "yearning" thread earns extra points, thanks to lively discussion and a surprisingly on-topic approach from all commenters in the thread. It has been a slow week, but his return nonetheless was warmly received and earns him the top spot.

2. godeatgod - During the past week, this RM Hall-of-Famer gave us more of what we love. During a flurry of threads and posts about cake, soccer, sadness, and hip-hop, Max brought more glimpses into the mind of one of the greats.

3. psychobain - It's about time that this poster gets recognition for continued dominance of the Other Bands forum. He's been a staple of the forum for years and stays abreast on important leaks, understands shared musical shibboleths, and acts as an arbiter of good taste. Frequent successful forays into Arts and Entertainment should also be noted.

4. E. H. Ruddock - A new posting style correlated with a raised General Discussion profile. Have Ruddock and lenny been siphoning swagger from Mickey? It remains to be seen, but Mickey has been conspicuously low-profile in recent days. Is there a tip in power balance?

5. Orpheus - After emerging the victor in his battle with Dev, Orpheus remains in the minds of many as his interview thread continues to thrive, thanks in part to intense interest from theplatypus.

6. Woodburn - WOOD U believe a bump from Coach sparked renewed interest and debate surrounding ol' Woodsie ? !

7. Coach - Versatility is the name of the game. Coach is equally informed and effective in Arts and Entertainment, Sports, and General Discussion. He knows Red Mosquito history and shows a real commitment to making RM a winning board. A true 5-tool player.

8. Green Habit - This moderator has kept the kosmicjelli situation under control in News and Debate and is in top form as football season enters its fourth week.

9. kosmicjelli - This poster's "Should I?" thread brought a flood of relationship advice from fellow commenters. A newly-added avatar brings more familiarity to the normally inscrutable poster.

10. theplatypus - An emotionally raw drunk thread drew a lot of attention. Will it supplant Balki's "I'm Drunk!" thread as the sauced poster's thread of choice?

this feels mailed in

pretty disappointing effort, Alex

thodoks is sad he got outranked by Woodburn

i can confirm this

slow week, weak list.

You didn't even listen to my voice message to Self Polluted, man.

someone should start a "Former RMer Power Rankings" list

I only returned so I could claim the top spot this week. Peace out, losers.

I anticipate you'll top the suggested list from the aforementioned post.

That's the plan!

I'm honored I was mentioned with lenny. We have a plan, we just don't know what it is yet.

And it's the best darn plan we've had yet.

Man you really love yourself.

If not for the username change you'd be number one every week.

Not a day goes by that I don't regret it, Lenny.

It's too bad you don't have the power to change it back, huh?

Well apparently I wasn't the one who neutered kosmicjelli in N&D so really who knows what I can do, yanno?

Can you change my username to Cleavon?
