I think I can see Erpy's point of view. After 8-9-10 months, many people will reach 2500 posts, and then it will be necessary to give them all their personal title and this will take time and work...I think this is his point of view, not sure <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>But I've a cool idea.

I think Knight can reach 2500 posts in no time, he's here but a short while and have about one half of the total of my posts..and I'm here more than a month..I think.. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Y'know, as I was reading this post, it did come to my mind that we should be allowed to make custom titles after a certain amount of posts. Unfortunately, I found myself beaten to the punch. Oh well. It's still a good idea. I'm all for it. That's what they do at the Subspace Channel (or, at least, they used to; I dunno if they do anymore). I'm all for it.

I've been taking some looks around the administration settings of this board regarding custom titles and my first hunch would be that there's no way for normal members to customize their title. That means that, as soon as I started handing out custom titles at will, I'd spend more time giving (and changing) titles than I'd spend moderating and answering questions. And I'd really rather not go there. And you were quite right in your previous post, Vildern. Once the mass starts getting near whatever number I mention, I'll be setting myself up for an extra chore.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Only admins can give titles. But I think if it's high enough (2,500 should do it) and let everyone have only a single, unchangeable title, it shouldn't be much of a problem. <p></p><i></i>

I never cared much about the titles anyways. I'd rather just post when I feel like it rather than have a high-intensity race for the largest amount. It somewhat reminds me of comparing the size of one's endowment to another's, which I'm much too comfortable with my own to desire doing so. This is probably why those who came to this forum long after myself have almost double the amount of posts that I currently have.<br><br>How about this, Erpy: When someone reaches a certain amount of posts, you should assign them a permenant title that you make up especially for them (like Fribbi's Fan's Fan title).
