I have to object a little to a tag "professionals" and "amateurs".

WHAT is going to separate them? Are you a pro if you are the creator of several commercial mmorpgs and a millionaire from it, BUT you have a free mud as well listed here? Are you a pro if you have 10 years of education in computer programming or working in support?

Or are you a pro if you are hired by the mud to sit and answer questions in help channels, and spend your other time working at wall mart?

Well... imo no such classification is really showing much. I would rather see:

[] paid staff
[] unpaid staff

(and even that is pretty bad... are you paid if you get below minimum wages? or are you paid if you get just a silly amount now and then etc etc...)
