So that you can put whatever you want? Or would that cause problems?

People has tried this before but psi29 has always said no if my memory is correct.
I would love a costume title but there arent allowed in this forum.
For example i have custom title in a swedish gaming forum which is "Monsiur Lion"

I personally like the custom titles for mods only. That way all the other titles are like initiation rights, and things you earn.

Haha I never paid any real attention to it until the Buz thread, but I guess I should. *5min later* You're right, Eldo, Oro and Cie all have one! So if I can have a custom title, hell I take it! I think I'll take "Hikikomori"! WHat do you think Psi?

Yeah, i'm going to shoot that down too.
Only Mods and above have custom titles.

Hey how often do user titles change psi? Is it every two hundred posts?

Depends, on where they are. The change fast when you're in the lower post region but even out to large blocks once you get around 1000.
Almost exponential, but not exactly so.

Im bored with this "tastes like burning". What does it mean anyway? But it beats Buzkashi wannabe... (anything beats Buzkashi Wannabe)

It is an immortal Simpsons quote, taken from the "Lord of the Flies" episode. On the uninhabited island the kids stumble upon, Ralph Wiggum manages to groan out the phrase after he ingests some poisonous berries.
Bart: How are the berries, Ralph?
Ralph (holding onto his stomach): It tastes like... burning...

So basically, I wait until my post count is at 2000 for a title change?

Well if your so desperate to have one you might consider changing your location to a title you want.

No shit. Earn your new title. I kind of like the fact that Psi has custom titles off here.

Can you actually have no title at all, that would be my favorite.

Actually that would be retarded, I would rather it be blank than not a location (even if made up).

Retarded is fine with me, not like there is anything wrong with it.

The entire point of the location field is to let others know where you are from as a way to be social.
"Oh, you live in blacksburg, I goto to VT, lets head out drinking sometime."

There is space for both, and im not social in real life anyway, I must not be alone.

Who honestly gives two shits about their title?

I give one shit, but not two. Though, I do occasionally give three shits.

Alrighty, for those that are moderators or close allies in the attack against stupidity... they get custom titles.
Others are those that bought me beer or have donated money to the support of the site then I will consider a custom title.
So, if you fall under the above and want a title, then Private Message me. I will not reply to any request presented in this or any other thread.

I think I will just stick with the default titles. I can't think of any thing great for a custom title any way.

I like the custom titles too. Give you something to strive for. The exprience of finding out what is next.

Well, if Psi's handing out titles for Mods, I'll take "Professional Bastard" thank you kindly.
