Shouldn't he be a Greater God? Why is he an intermediate god now? After all if it took all the gods together to stop him I would think he'd be a heavy hitter.
When was Tharizdun demoted?

At least he's got the cool extradimensional prison. You're just stuck in an oversized bathtub.
And he's master of force AND madness. Far as I can tell all you've got is eating sailors and sending Arabs crazy dreams.
Psh. Some elder god you a-

He's a greater god in the holy grail of Greyhawk sets, the 1e boxed set.

There are a few other gods that have been demoted too with no reason given. I agree the bible is the 1e WoG Boxed Set. 
The original idea behind his demotion, which came with the invention of "intermediate" gods in the 2nd Edition "From the Ashes" era, must have been that since Tharizdun was defeated and locked away by a consortium of several dozen gods, his power has waned, somewhat. Perhaps he's manifestly weaker. Perhaps, as I prefer to look at it, he can call upon only a fraction of his true power, which was sort of the purpose of the prison in the first place. Were he to be released, he would undoubtedly re-assume the greater god status that once was his.
Hell, he might very well transcend it.

I agree with you there. Tharizdun was originally like Cthulhu and other creatures from the Far Realm in that he was pretty much beyond the abilities of other gods and beings. I think much like those who say stats for Cthluhu lessened him, that this is the case here.
