Well, I can understand your frustration in not getting something others get, Geminosity, but in the end it's just a string of words under your name.
It's the same as the Day of Defeat forums and the rule that only moderators get avatars: it seems so unfair that there is this segregation, but in the end it's just a picture under the name.
However, it <b>does</b> feel strange not being allowed to do what many other forums allow, as it makes one feel almost inferior in a way, almost as if one has to be "touched" by a moderator to feel worthy.
But then I remember it's just a few words or a picture under my name, and I get over it. Mostly. Although I really would like to see "Hive Queen" removed from the user titles. Ugh that's a bad phase.
