Crackpot, you're a bit short on the post count requirement. Please read the Board FAQ.

It changed? It's still the twenty five hundred I remember. You can always try but there's no promise.

It's been mis-quoted on other title-request threads as 2000, but not by official people. Most recently that I saw was on Superman's request thread:
some guy wrote:You're around 75 posts short of the 2K mark for custom titles (probably further if "high non-spam post counts" is taken more literally)... And aren't you suppose to PM Darth Wong about a request first?

I'm fairly sure that the requirement was NEVER 2500 and that there was just some long-term confusion on the matter after raising it to that was suggested.

Nope, it's 2500. I checked the board rules; it sez so in there and has since Feb. 2003... If you trust those crafty mods...
which I mostly do...

The FAQ, originally posted by Enlightenment, says 2500.

The condensed policy, posted by David, says 2000.
