PhoenixAsh:
introduce a new title for twelve or so that only lasts for say six months and is then appointed to new people (or reappointed if the member continues to be active and productive). Then active members are rewarded, newbies have something they can work for that involves more than just waiting a few months and noone is made unhappy.
I like the Idea that everyone gets an opertunity to feel special.....

I know that after a Year when I get to write my Few words Above my Avatar I was verry Happy......But then I was sad cuz other people had Cool Titles.

And i though "Darn I cant do any programing or anything.....I'll never get a cool Title...."

I just got an IDEA...... What if Admins or whoever is able just Gives people some Random Title or NickName whenever they get the Whim.....

Like Someone who seems unusually helpful might get like "Helper Monkey" or some weird but Fitting title that no One else has.... Then they would feel Unusually SPECIAL....
