Origin of the word: It stemmed from the word "Prominent."

The first time it was notably used was on Jan 20, 2004, when a GDer named Troggard started a namedrop thread. It shortly became a HOT (hang-out thread) called the GPM (Gaia's Prominent Members) in where the higher ranking members of the forum chit-chatted; often excluding the non-prominent members from their chatter. Other HOTs sprang up in the forum; GNPM, GBP, et cetera. When the mods decided the HOT threads were no longer GD material, they moved the HOTs to the Chatterbox. Many of the members still gather in the GPM guild, along with other, newer prominent members.

Selection of prominents/prommies of the GD, by fame generation:

Original to Mid 2004 - Angsty Shem, Miyuki, Hawkeye_GGK, Troggard, Aleda, Grimm Anarchy, Samur, Alkatrazz, Crimson Teardrop, The 5th Horseman.

Mid 2004 to Early 2005 - irrelavant, Branwen Silverwolf, NightmareNurse, The 5th Horseman, Remodez, Twist3d Ang3l, Mephianse, and i starve, DSK.

Mid 2005 to Early 2006 - Purple Angelica, Hazy, Conan the Barbeque, Samael, DerangedTechnicolor, Mivzi, Pandy the Headcrab, Sadist Boo, Jagermeister, General Engel, pidgezero_one, switchdown.

Mid 2005 to when this was written (could also be considered regulars, because the previous generation of prommies are still active in GD) - 50s Housewife, interpolly, Sith Lord Ali.

Some prommies have continue their status into GD's next generations.

Over the years, people have lost the meaning of what a "prommie" is. It's more then a regular; who is someone that you just see around a lot. A prommie is someone who has better items, more friends, connections to other forums, talent (artistic ability, intelligence, whit, looks, style, or something that stands above the normal users). They also get a bad wrap from those that do not understand why they're in the position they're in. Not all prommies are jerks/trolls/attention whores. And, once you're a prommie, you'll always have that state of mind.

Things that prommies have done over the years: The HOTs, Meet-ups on the East Coast, West Coast, and in the UK, The Mung Brigade, The WTF Internet Radio Show, Gaia Radio, G and Crave, namedropping threads, trend threads, and all the drama that comes with being "elite."

Prommies have also spread their slang to other Gaian forums: prommie, qt, and the heavy use of the symbol "~".
"Name your favorite prommies!"

"What's a prommie?"

Prominant member of a forum or message board. Designated by popularity. Easy to spot, because they normally type in small, centered or right-aligned text. Being a grammar nazi is a must.

The usual prommie circle of a message board is usually a pathetic group, compensating for lack of friends in real life.
"Omg, I'm internet popular! Kiss my prommie ass."
Prommie by Internet Terrorist April 17, 2006
Prominent member of Gaia Online's General Discussion board. Over the years there have been many of them, such as Sith Lord Ali or Miss Squirrel. Around 2009 the term died out and most people claimed that prommies were officially dead.
Then, in summer 2010, a GDer going by the username vaginal vomit revived the term and claimed the title of eternal prommie king. While it caused quite a stir, it was generally accepted, and now vaginal vomit rules the GD with an iron fist, creating teh dramaz and getting banned almost every other day.
n00b: "LAWLZ I'M PROMMIE NAO"
vaginal vomit: "No you're not, now sit your ass down, take a tissue and start bawwing about it. Boo fucking hoo."
n00b: "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE"

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
