Attaining the next level?

Post by Knife »

Ok, at this post I am at 2000 posts. *bows to appluase*. Now with current conventions a custom title is give between 2000 and 2500 depending on participation, popularity, and the whims of Adm Kanos.

The question before you, my fellow delegates, is this:

1) Do I want a custom Title?

2) Do I deserve a custom Title?

3) If I do, what the hell would it be?

4) Who the hell is this Knife guy anyway?


Thank you for your time.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I think you deserve to be taken out back and beaten with a hose. Then we could give you a custom title.

Twas truely the point of the thread, to kick around ideas relevent to what people think of me (positively anyway) in anticipation of ever getting to the point that I do and can have a custom title.

Yes, but it's more a case of waiting until you hit the 2500 mark I'dve thought, still if Mike has no objections...

Well, you've made yourself pretty well-known and well-liked, but not enough for a custom title. Perhaps by 2500. And that's the post count, thankfully, and not the year.

Custom Titl... damn, your over 2000... can't be this assinine...

hmmm, I really don't know you well enough to believe you warrant one (but if we went by who I knew well, there would be an incredibally small number of people with custom titles...)
