Kind of like "real life" in some Ways 
! Obviously can fit into far more than just one category. Most readers/posters probably fit somewhere here (as I do!)
(To be continued)
- And feel free to add!
Your "In The Know" (ITK) (genuinel)
- Often posts infrequently (and sometimes anonymously) but has genuine inside information.
Your "In The Know" (ITK) (proclaimed)
The "Embelisher"
-Converts a newspaper story into "a rumour I've heard"
The Fiction Writer:
- Totally makes up a rumour/story...
Your Perennial Optimist
- Always sees the bright side.
Your Perennial Pessmist
- Always sees the Dark side
The Moaner
The Stifler
- Don't criticize (at least until he/she deems time to criticize)
The "Support The Board/Manager/Player
The Heated Poster
- Says something personal in the heat of the moment
The Nasty/Personal Poster
- Just enjoys making nasty comments
The Trouble Maker (Proverbially "sh**t Stirring"
- Sometimes really out to cause problems; sometimes used as an accusation to denigrate rather than to argue
The "Straw Man"/Ad-Hominem Arguer
- Can't really refute arguments; so distorts what a poster says; or impugns motives.
The Follower
- Goes along with whatever is the concensus of the moment. Doesn't want to express views that are not the consensus
The Straddler
- At different times, offers opposing points of view.
The Thread Starter
Just wants to keep posting, so starts threads just for the sake of it.
The "One Upper"
- Well you think what you're saying is important
The Duplicate Poster
- Posts what already posted material)
The Esoteric Poster
- Posting things of bizarre note
The long-winded poster.
Says in 500 words what others could say in 50

The Historical Poster
- On This Date
The Nostalgic Poster
- Remembering past events
The General "Stealer" Poster
- Posts what someone already posted elsewhere, often another site; without giving credit/attribution.
The Joker/Humouris
- Posting
The Poster Who says "PM" me 0 Or I just PMd You
- Has to announce what he's done.
The Board Hero Worshipper
- Worships or kowtows or fawns over the Board Owner as all-wise and wonderful.
The Board Abuser and Board Fault Finder

Posting under a Number of Different Names
The "Monitor"
