It's just a word under your name. 8 months is fine for the simple fact that I don't care enough about it to think about changing it.

Wow. Unne's being apathetic.
I didn't know ya had it in ya, Carpie. *high five*
*dodges smite*
Ahh eight months is fine. It seems like an eternity when you're new and stuff, and I felt especially screwed over because I had 2,500 posts by my three-month anniversary of joining EoFF. But really, once you get down to it, custom ranks are an indicator of who's BEEN with us for awhile. And if you lower the limit, that indicator gets removed. Or something. Eh.Originally posted by The Man™ long, long ago
They're fine the way they are, methinks. I don't really think it's worth worrying over whether ninety percent of the active members on the fora have custom ranks. I don't think that many have them anyway; I don't, mystic ice goddess doesn't, Ferenan doesn't, and all the newbies don't. Yes, I'll agree that the custom rank requirement isn't designed so that people can register, never post, and then come back eight months later to have a custom rank. I don't think anyone does that intentionally, though. There are people who "slip through the cracks," but why should we care? There are so few of them that it really shouldn't matter. Besides, if the only thing that brings them back is the chance to enter their custom rank, at least it brings them back.
The new limit should be twenty-eight months and one day. That should be juuust right.
Easy for YOU to say, since it doesn't matter WHEN you registered if you're a mod.
The new limit should be 4 years solely for the purpose of hearing all the 8 month-old n00bs whining. *nods*
Wait, wouldn't that mean no one but the staff would have custom titles at all?
No-one forced you to post that often. xP Dude! When'd you get your custom rank? *confuzzlement* Bleh... doesn't feel like 8 months. I'm startin' to get old. xDAhh eight months is fine.

And yeah, it is rather a short time to get a custom rank imo. I feel like a n00b compared to BOU and co., hardly vetty feelin' at all.
Yeah, but I had nothing better to do with my time, I guess.No-one forced you to post that often. xPI got my rank about two months ago, I think, although I'm really not sure because I lost track of time
nothanks to FF:WA.
WA requires either seven months and 1,200 posts or becoming a mod before reaching either of those criteria (I've managed my customs there by the latter category), and you can't even use a custom avatar until you've got your customs, so I'd say EoFF is a lot less strict than WA as far as customs are concerned. Be thankful, I guess.
I don't really feel intimidated by people who have been here longer than me, but I do agree that the time has literally flown by.
7 months? When I went there it was 6...
"Wait, wouldn't that mean no one but the staff would have custom titles at all?"
Yeah, but it I'd only put it into place for a week or so, but tell everyone it was permanent. Just to piss n00bs off. *nods*
That is so funny. You don't even know.Originally posted by Raistlin
8 month-old n00bs
Bah. 8-month old n00bs are plentiful.
*has known 2-year n00bs*
That's not what I'm talking about. I said you don't even know.
Kishi: Then what are you talking about? :P
Red: Nah, it's not gonna change. Even though, as I said, it could be pretty funny. Hehe
