Ok you've convinced me!
jk, I still think the member should choose his own :) or atleast have a choice.

They can, this is just an option if they so choose for a community-given name.

As long as the member in question has the final vote it'll be cool.

It actually makes it pretty interesting this way.

Take a look at the suggestion that was given for me. At first I was like nah.... but now I'm like hey it kinda has a ring to it :D

Howdy Neighbor is kinda strange for Waco, lol :wtf:

Any suggestions made by the community will be added to the OP, so feel free to make yours. :) Poll will the finally determine the outcome, unless if there's only 1 suggestion made (like in my case).

BTW - what is the time limit on these titles, or are we waiting so the set amount of titles to be suggested then the community deciding on which is best (if 2 or more are made)?

Well, we have to hear from [MENTION=289]Jan[/MENTION] first regarding this.

My personal opinion is that forum titles need to be earned. Preferably by something that can be described as a trial by fire. None of this giving away titles willy-nilly nonsense.

I suppose we can set a limit of say 5 options and then let the community vote?

Can I kindly direct you to Ms Wyvern's post that clarifies the forum rules regarding custom titles? They aren't being dished out "willy-nilly", the idea is to have "long-standing members" (i.e. 2 years+ membership) with a minimum of 1000 posts gain the privilege of having the community choose a title for them. As mentioned countless times in this thread, it's a fun activity that builds a sense of community. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, but I feel "earning" a custom title that's bestowed upon you by the community is a bit more fun than just choosing one for yourself. People want to feel they're involved in some way and I think this can give everyone a sense of involvement in another member's life.

I only saw this thread now.

Pretty cool idea. Haven't ever really thought about having a unique title, but I certainly wouldn't mind one.
