Custom titles?

Would it be possible to grant users to give themselves custom titles after a certain amount of posts? I mean..."Wizard" is fine, but I like change every so often.

It's an interesting notion, but we decided early on that we don't want to give folks posting incentives.  They tend to decrease a message board's signal to noise ratio. :D

Plus, there would just be way too many "Evil Overlord" wannabes in this bunch.  ;D

Yup.  Also, it helps distinguish the mods/admins for new folks.

So you're saying that if I had a title, I'd be even noisier?  :o

I think MSD should get a title.  She has a lot of posts.   A lot.




A lot.




But other than that, who needs it?
Pew pew PEW!

Yeah, but Germans and Hungarians don't pull people's theories out of their sockets when they're challenged.  Ducks are known to do that.
