As I said, it creates a nice sense of community and forces you to get to know people a bit. Think of it as a kind of induction to the forum community where you earn your stripes by a bit of a trial. After 2 years and 1000 posts you should've left an impression on at least a couple of people, or one of your latest actions on the forum should personify you a bit - like Eugene suggesting my tightless for me. :p

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

Seems silly that the members title gets chosen for them. Rather let them choose their own or give their own list. As for kwaai as the naai, fricken hilarious :D

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

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.
 
If it's going to ruffle some feathers, maybe the community given title could be the lead up title and when you're more of a postwhore (hehe) then you can request your own type of thing? I dunno, maybe that just makes more work or whatever.

Farlig, you really shouldn't take everything I say so seriously. ;)
 
And those who don't want to participate can pick their own titles.

Just leave my title alone! :p I love my title :D

Custom Tightless = Serious Business

EDIT: Have I taken anything you've said to/from/around me seriously before? :confused:

I'm not sure, but you did misunderstand my post in this thread. :p

To be honest, I'd rather have everyone have deuls in an arena to earn their titles, but with everyone spread across the country it becomes an organizational nightmare. :(
