    Default Reconsider custom titles

    Why 8 months? The distinction loses its value when they are handed out randomly, also.

    I think since custom avatars are available at the onset of registration, that custom titles should also be granted. I don't have any great reasons why they should, but I can't think of any great reasons why they shouldn't, either.

    it gives you a reason to consciously stick it out for 8 months. I know when I was a newbie I kept coming back every day or months because I wanted that cool custom title.

    I think staff is only giving out random ones now because its almost April Fools.

    They gave them out to make fun of the Crash campaign. Actually, it's a job title (like recognized member or Cid's Knight), not a user title. The mods can change the job titles at any time without the rules going against them.

    Yours is a user title, not a group title, Terra*Aeris.

    Anyway, eight months is good. It's not good to break tradition.

    I waited my eight months (though I don't remember when I finally got one), and everyone else should too. It would be a mockery of us oldbies if the newbies didn't have to do the same thing. After all, when we used to go to Feedback, we had to walk UPHILL in the FREEZING SNOW, and then back home, UPHILL in the BLAZING HEAT, when you guys get it with a click.

    Okay, now I'm confused...someone else said it was some kind of group/job title.

    So if I leave for a year and come back, it's not quite showing any kind of conscious effort of staying, but I'll be rewarded nonetheless. Why not a post amount in lieu of time?

    No, it's a user title Group titles would be too much effort, especially considering you guys all have different spellings for it

    Post counts are disabled here.

    Terra*Aeris, if the title were a group rank then it would appear to the far right of your name in your profile screen.

    EDIT: What he said.

    Okay. Since it didn't require much effort...not to be pushy, but when will you be fixing it for me?

    I believe I said I'd consider doing it, I don't ever remember saying I will do it

    I've yet to consider though, if you're wondering

    I wouldn't say anything. Having a custom title before your eight months here is pretty awesome.

    And it did take a lot of effort too All that looking up hexadecimal codes to get the colour right, plus in case you noticed, it's not bold to look like a real title, took a lot of digging around stylesheet instructions on how to undo the bold effect for that part of the text
