It's that time of year again

[Flying Mullet]

Isn't it time we made the staff titles' colors better.

Think about it. Silver, blue and yellow have no relation to each other. But gold, silver and bronze do. Make the admins' title gold, the mods' title silver and the former staffs' title bronze. That way you can know who is who and what powers they have. Just like in the Olympics. Gold is the best, then silver, then bronze, i.e. The admins are the best, then the moderators, then the former staff, who hang out on the podium but don't do much other than try to look good.

Rubedo: We get pink, right? :love:

[Resha]

I'm going to pretend this thread is about asking the staff for coloured titles (because I really do want one :D)

Hey staff can I have a pretty non-pink, non-Banned coloured title?

chaos: Well how could the stuff turn down somebody like you? :love:

[Resha]

aw! :love: Well, don't you believe it, but they do it all the time. I do everything from flattering kikimm to pretending to be one with rubah and they still shun me.

:(

[Meat Puppet]

You're a girl, think straight.

[theundeadhero]

I was just thinking about this.

Almost a year ago BoB went all crazy with the idea and stopped wth the colored custom titles. I argued about it but BoB was all like it's annoying for the Admins to get PMs about it, or that it shows status and all that. So, I sent a PM survey to all the Admins of the time asking them if they've ever been asked to color a custom title, if they have changed one, if getting asked was annoying, if they think it's a status symbol and all that kind of stuff. Most of them agreed with one or two things BoB said, but overall didn't seem to mind it at all. I was going to show it to BoB back then, but I didn't think it would make any difference. Might as well do it now.

I really don't see how they're a status symbol when only Psychotic, Monkey, Big D, and myself had one at the time (except spuuky, who still does :p). What status do we have :confused:

[Trumpet Thief]

aw! :love: Well, don't you believe it, but they do it all the time. I do everything from flattering kikimm to pretending to be one with rubah and they still shun me.

:(

Rubedo: Well today might be different. ;)

chaos: So, will the overrated + underrated at the same time Recognized Members get a color change?

[Flying Mullet]

Is there a way to enable html in the custom titles so we can color them ourselves? Then there's no special privleges as everyone can do it.

[Resha]

You're a girl, think straight.
I like how you make it sound like I'm desperately flinging myself on them and raping them, but that's not quite the case.

Trumpet Thief, you give me hope. False hope, but hope nonetheless. :(

[Trumpet Thief]

Rubedo: Hey, false hope is good too! ^__^

Trowa:....until your thoughts get crushed by a giant "no" coming from whoever. *sits and stares and sits and stares*

Rubedo: :eek:

[Agent Proto]

As for the starr recoloring their titles, that's a big NO. When color was first mention, the idea was to use "Britty Blue" for the Cid's Knight, Silver was the color of choice for Administrators because back then. While it's not the Gold, Silver, Bronze that you wish it was, it's a lot better than White, White, White.

Oh yeah, color for custom titles would be awesome. But sadly, enabling html in the custom title area would be bad.

[Flying Mullet]

Psh, and you're happy with a pee-yellow title?

[Loony BoB]

No. We won't be changing them.

[theundeadhero]

If more admins agree than don't why not? <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/user/avatar/avatar11089_17.gif" height="200" width="200"/>

[Agent Proto]

Psh, and you're happy with a <s>pee-yellow</s> gold title?

Yes.

[Loony BoB]

If more admins agree than don't why not?
Because that probably won't happen, and I'll use those powers that everyone who isn't on staff says I have and overrule them!

[Dignified Pauper]

custom color titles would be awesome. I'd expect nothing less from Shinra than to disregard awesome ideas.

[Resha]

Exactly. I've hankered after one for so long, but noooooo. :(

[Yamaneko]

They've been like this forever. It's not going to be changed.

[Dignified Pauper]

why is the staff so resistant to change things and make this place more cool, but then when they change things everyone must like it. Shinra stinks.

[Leeza]

The colours will stay as they are because they are not just random. A lot of thought and consideration has been put into these choices.

Colured titles for regular members will never happen on a regular basis because for there would be too much confusion for newbies, etc. as to who is actually Staff or not, as only Staff have coloured titles (except Spuuky, of course).

[Dignified Pauper]

well then, I'm still for flying mullet's suggestion of changing staff colors. It'd be cooler and easier to identify things with.

[edczxcvbnm]

Admin = Platinum
CK = Gold
SSS = Silver
SS = Bronze
FS = Blue Ribbon
RM = Red Ribbon

I think I covered all of the losers!

[Flying Mullet]

A lot of thought and consideration has been put into these choices.
Please do elaborate what thought and consideration was put into said choices.

[Psychotic]

Admin = Pink title reading "Banned"
CK = Pink title reading "Banned"
Former Staff = Gold title reading "I'm annoying."

Done and done.

[theundeadhero]

I prefer clear myself. <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/user/avatar/avatar11089_17.gif" height="200" width="200"/>

[Old Manus]

Why not delete staff titles

It's like The Bill, except they're undercover cops.

You are not safe.

[-N-]

I'd like a brown title, please.

[Dignified Pauper]

Can I get a rainbow title?

[Resha]

Can I get a rainbow title?
Me too, please. :)

[Shlup]

I like my orange title. It took me like ten minutes to find just the right shade of orange, and like a seven page thread for the staff to approve it. Bronze is for chumps! Like you! Chump!

[-N-]

You would. :rolleyes2

edit: That works even better following Shlup's post than Manus's.

[theundeadhero]

Way to take my custom title away. I guess it really is clear now! :mad2:

I like blue.

[Del Murder]

The colors are fine.

Custom titles are also fine as they are.

[Jojee]

I miss my rainbow title xD

Dammit Matt, I keep mistaking you for Wezly.

Former staff doesn't have to be the same as site staff, does it now? That's misleading and I say pink! :love:

[Raistlin]

Pink is ugly. Almost as ugly as the twerp.

[Jojee]

Wezly doesn't like pink, now it's gotta be done just to spite him. :greenie:

[Resha]

I like blue.

We am we forever, we am going to be we for if not, we would be sad. :(

Ok now give me special privileges. :love:

[Dignified Pauper]

I bet the staff is going to spring April Fools on us and be like, J/K! CUSTOM COLORED USER TITLES FOR ALL!

[crono_logical]

Maybe we should delete all custom titles instead :D

[theundeadhero]

I want you all to know this was an April Fools diversion. I wasn't serious about it. When BoB firmly said no I dropped it.

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Why are the custom titles dismissed as "fine" when a majority of members of this board haven't given thier opinion on the matter? Maybe there are more people who want colorized cutom titles?

I dunno. I don't mean to get all Raistlin on you guys, but just cause staff doesn't like something, what if the majority of the members want it? Provided that something isn't something outlandish, why not? I'd like a colored custom title anyway.

Or something.




Colured titles for regular members will never happen on a regular basis because for there would be too much confusion for newbies, etc. as to who is actually Staff or not, as only Staff have coloured titles (except Spuuky, of course).

Because the extra title and the words "Administrator" and "Cid's Knight" make things SO unclear. :(

[Miriel]

Yamaneko gave me a colored title once. I hated it. Freakin' Banky.

[Reine]

Normal members shouldnt have coloured titles, only staff, since us normal members are scum

[Meat Puppet]

At least most of us are honest about it.

[Flying Mullet]

I want you all to know this was an April Fools diversion.
Yup yup.

I like my orange title, it matches my avatar and signature nicely. :cool:

I've always wanted a pretty pink title that doesn't say 'Banned'. :(

[Del Murder]

If the majority of the people want something that is not a reason to do it. Like it or not, this forum is not a democracy. You guys are always free to make suggestions and requests but the final decisions come down to staff and their preferences on how the board should be run.

I think the color titles would look dumb, but more importantly the reason we have certain colors for the usergroup titles is so that they can be distinguished.

[Psychotic]

You guys are always free to make suggestions and requests but the final decisions come down to staff and their preferences on how the board should be run.I told you guys the staff sucked, but would you listen? Oh no, you had to go and make countless "I HEART THE STAFF!" threads.

Now the forums have gone to hell. It's not like the old days, you know. In the old days, the staff would've given everyone a coloured custom title and perhaps even a shetland pony, too.

Spiff for CK. :goomba:

[Del Murder]

Haha, is Pshyco a bitter oldbie now?

[Psychotic]

In the old days, moderators would spell your name right and type your posts for you. And they'd give you a spit shine if you were as tremendous as I am. Now the forums have gone to hell. (I think that can be my catchphrase. It seems to be every other bitter oldbie's)

[Miriel]

Shy Co. bitterness doesn't suit you. Especially not pseudo-bitterness. :)

[Psychotic]

Mirror Eel, must you ruin everyone's fun by pointing things out? "Oh, Neel and DP are having an April Fool's!" "Oh, Psy is pseudo-bitter!" "Oh, Crash wasn't really an orang-utan part of an experiment to see if they could be taught to use the internet!"

I bet you're the little girl that went around telling all the other kids that Santa isn't real. Can't you let us believe in a little bit of magic now and again?

[Miriel]

I did, but it was on accident. :(

I thought everyone knew he was make-believe. My parents never told me that he was real, they just presented it as fun dress up time that grandparents get during the holidays.
