I like how it's written it with Euro flair, color colour etc.
It's nice to find out the reason people have custom titles, thats why I started this thread.

Someone needs to get a title purely to be superior to that one.

@That_Annoying_Kid "It's nice to find out the reason people have custom titles"

So with the advent of the new forums, you too can set your own custom title

this thread had a good multi year run, but now everyone and there mother (2.34% of the forums or basically 827 members) are allowed to set it, IE Depot and his modFather

I've just moved into another place for the summer and as such I've been stocking up on food. Well I got about 5 pounds of generic cereal and a jug of milk. I have a bowl and a fork, but no spoon. So I've got all this cereal and no spoon to eat it with. I was looking for a way to procure a single spoon and finding very little other than going out and buying a whole dinner set or stealing one from a restaurant. I just so happened to be in the NS IRC channel and asked for solutions to my dilema. DXO remembered that little light up lightsaber spoons were being given away in boxes of cereal and reminded me so. So I drove out to a store and bought a box. When I came back I opened it and got a red colored spoon. So I asked DXO if he could give me a forum title because of this little adventure.

goddamn it now every 2bit johnny nobody can have a title. it's not fair <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
well, there's no use crying about it. You've still got the story behind it, even if people like me can now have whatever we want, it won't have that knighted sir feel to it.
I'm a cheap knock off. oh the shame.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

There are so many people that have fewer than 5 posts that it really doesn't work when you count the people who can set their own title as a percentage of total. It should be as a percentage of active posters, which would be higher.
I will avoid setting my own title because I wasn't cool enough to have one bestowed upon me all these years <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

You could do it the earlier way, which was have mods/admins determine it.
I adjusted my title to explain the overall situation <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Anyway: Setting it too high will result in some people spamming the boards in order to get there faster. 250 seems like something that everyone can reach in time.

well dark sire is the last default title and thats at what 4000?
meybe it should be the next logical progression for the literal handful of people who actually spend to much time here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

yea but of the total forum member count something ridiculous like 10% do all of the posting.
Throw a couple of values out, and you could easily run an sql query to find out who makes the grade.
