Petopia Says: Thank You, Wain

Over the past week, Wain has gathered NPC IDs for all the beasts in the Petopia database -
and a bunch that aren't! That's about
1500 beasts, by the way.
This was a huge piece of work that I had been putting off for ... well, forever. In addition to giving me a cleaner way to track and index pets - which will help tremendously with the number of changes to pets we've seen since Cataclysm - it also lets Petopia link directly to the right NPC in Wowhead or Thottbot rather than messing around with name searches. (This is especially good because I kept screwing up the name searches by using the wrong spacing on sporebat. *cough*) It may not sound like much, but trust me that my database is very happy with this change.
Anyway, if you happen to notice Wain's new title ... this is why.
Thank you, Wain.

Thank you for all that you've done for us Wain, from everything to relaying info from Noah, to discovering new pets for us in beta, to helping Mania out with the main website. You are amazing.

Huh. I did think that there was something different about you. Guess it was so. Gratz on the title. :D
Now where's my special title? I will settle for nothing short of "The Awesome, Amazing, Awe-inspiring and Completely Badass". :D

Wain has a special color and a new title! Where's my title? If Sat gets one, I want one! I call dibs on either Feral or Aspect of...Blues! Or Roleplaying. Or druids. Or amazingness. Or derailing. Plenty of choices!
Seriously though, grats Wain!
And I agree, Sat deserves a "The Scary" one. Or, "Resident Evil One". >>;
