Inoffensive, certainly. But even though that means 'not terrible', it also means "not especially interesting".

Some kind of theme might be nice, if you want to go that route. One that occurred to me just now was the elements; as you accrue more posts, you work your way up the periodic table. Or even just up the column groups - like if you start at hydrogen, then become an alkali metal, then an alkali earth metal, proceeding eventually through the pnictogens and chalcogens and halogens until finally you become a member of that most rarefied group, the noble gases? Actually that last bit seems particularly appropriate, since the highest rank on any forum is sorta akin to nobility, yet everyone in that position got there via a lot of hot air.
