Actually, it's not that you get a custom title when you get 1500 posts, but that Mike really didn't want to hear title requests from people unless they had at least made Jedi Council Member.

Actually Spanky, unless you're a mod you do have to have +2000 posts or a really damn good reason why.

You can join the Army and be called, "Private." Or if you have a degree, you can become a commissioned officer with the title of, "lieutenant."

Yes, but it is also considered one's title in the military. You may be thinking of a position title, such as, "Company Commander," or "Platoon Sergeant." Both rank and position have titles.

AFIAK there is no hard-and-fast rule on awarding titles on the basis of post count. People who have made a substantial contribution to the board or the site are entitled to a title The point at which an oversized post count turns into a 'substantial contribution' is rather fuzzy and is entirely up to Wong.

Getting a title on the basis of post count is by no means automatic. The only people on the board at present who get titles automatically are supermods, main-fourm mods and usergroup leaders.

When'd you get your title, Spanky?

And PM Mike if you want a title. He'll give it to you if and when he feels like it.

Yoshi: I got mine right after I hit 1500. I started a poll with a number of options, and ended up changing my mind about what I wanted.

My title was originally going to be "Government sp00k"... But some people liked "Third Children", even saying it sounded mysterious, so I decided on that.

But "Third Children" sounds like you have multiple-personality disorder.

And the truly desperate for a title can go to prison and become known as "ho'", "bitch" or "punk", but that's a bit extreme for a custom title...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
