 This is another problem with it - the level that it's taken to sometimes.  What was that one line used about the baby kittens (Thetas) running to their litter box?  Yea... that's a little ridiculous.
I was never into "cutesy" things in college.  If someone tried calling me a "baby" anything, I'd be completely turned off.  
You're trying to attract new members.. not push them away.
