Thread: Question regarding custom titles

  1. #1

    Default Question regarding custom titles

    I was just wondering why custom titles weren't allowed until you've been a member for eight months (I think it was eight, I only heard it listening to that snippit in the registration thing (very nice touch by the way)). Not really outraged or anything, just curious.

    Because it used to be based on post count. 1,500 posts = 1 custom title. When I was a newbie like yourself, I posted 770 times in the first week. That's why it was changed to 8 months. So, in short, sorry.

    Also, your sig is too big. Just thought I'd let you know before the admins get ya. The height limit is 250 pixels, and the file size limit is 50k.

    epileptic-seizure-inducing marquees are acceptable in your signature, however.

    Eek. Thanks for the tip.

    Though that does raise another question. Why aren't custom titles allowed from the get-go?

    Getting to the 8 months just to get a custom title kinda makes people want to stay. If you get one right off the bat, most of the time people would just leave. There would be no goal for staying here a long time, other than meeting awesome people.

    it doesn't take eight months to realize there are no awesome people here.

    If you have one it means you're an old geezer that can't go to the bathroom for him/herself.
