Announcement: Custom Titles

[Niteshift]

Most of you have noticed a few custom titles under some members names. Well, now some of you will get to pick your own.

Members who have 500 or more posts can choose their own custom title to go under their name. The rules are simple:

1)Keep it appropriate. All titles must be approved by the staff.

2) Keep it reasonable in length.

3) No turbo-posting just to get to 500.

4) Pick one you like. We will not be changing your title every week. Put some thought into it and get something you want for a while.

If you are eligible, and have a title selected, PM either dkiefner or I and we will take care of it.

You mean we have to think?!?

OH.. IM SO ON THAT!.... ***jumps up and down clapping spastically***

just a couple hundred shy of 500...

As unprolific as I've proven myself to be, it seems I'll have plenty of time to dwell on this matter of title selection.

Pondering the likely ramifications of this oh-so-innocently imposed caste system, I'm inclined to think it may be too much time. I'm sure it won't be long before the "customized" posters become snobby and cliquish and begin to look down their noses at myself and my less wordy fellows.

I can sense my pique becoming aroused even as I write these words. Already I feel a strong bond of solidarity with my fellow stoics. Slogans to rally the terse are forming in my mind as I envision the impending fight for justice and equal treatment.

I see no small paradox in the making, too. Victory in this noble struggle will only serve to transform the oppressed into the oppressors.

There's only one real solution:

"499 and done" will be our marching song.

"We're not verbose, we're not bombastic,
take your darn titles and shove 'em up your asstic"

You won't keep us down, O.Com!

LOL Dino!!!

Well I've been a member since Dec. 2000, and I've got what 70 something posts. What can I say ? I like to listen more than talk.

"We're not verbose, we're not bombastic,
take your darn titles and shove 'em up your asstic"

I may have to put that in my sig.

...and I was SO going to do that!

How about an honorary title for the Rookie who argues with Frank the most?

Poor baby!





You should feel honored. You don't have anywhere near the required posts yet.

Just so everyone knows, the social security number that certain administrators decided to post after my name is NOT my real social security number. My number is actually smaller than that!
