Last week, we had a preview of a custom set of user titles based on post milestone. It was mostly received well, however, the restricted theme was well, too restricted. So, we want to open the titles up to your ideas!

Reply here with suggestions and there will be a poll based on the suggestions here. The system default was 2 or 3 milestones, I cannot remember. We can have pretty much an unlimited number but will more than likely start with 7 or so and possibly add more as time goes on. So, lets have them!

I created this thread offline last week to get it ready to post today.

i think they should be mixed up with games, not just one theme like the tron theme, like the "entering flynn's arcade" would be cool for a 0-50 then 100-? could be a different game like "completed level 3 spring board", and xxx-xxx reached "kill screen coming up" or "saved the princess", "you must defeat sheng long".. you know what I mean, the more the merrier

If anything, total generic titles for all "levels" should be used. Just because someone has recently "joined" this forum doesn't really make them a "n00b" at all. ("N00b?" Good grief. That's like so totally k-rad k00l. Ugh.)

I guess to me, there's a LOT more to this than just how may posts a person makes. I understand that it's all in fun, but would anyone consider, say, Todd from TNT a "n00b" or anything less just because he doesn't have 25,000 posts?

I think I'm looking at this forum as too much of a technical forum and should view it more for what it is: A "hobbyist" hangout.
 
No...CAX Cookie Princess

I think a "set" of titles to choose from would be best, from several games...and not just the so called "Golden Age".


I like that one. When a member reaches a certain post count or whatever they can choose an appropriate title of their liking.
 
tron levels

Level Name Level Name Level Name
01 RPG 05 SNOBOL 09 ASSEMBLY
02 COBOL 06 PL1 10 OS
03 BASIC 07 PASCAL 11 JCL
04 FORTRAN 08 ALGOL 12 USER

one option can be the levels names from tron game.
just my .02
thank you for your consideration with this matter ;)

Can there be 2 titles?

1st one based on your join date/number or years you been on.
2nd one based on post count.

Just and example
Rookie-Space Cadet
Rookie-Space Captain
Veteran-Space Cadet
Old Timer-Space General

I don't really like that example and I am sure someone could come up with better wording. However by not just limiting the title to post count it might keep a lot of the people that just like to post 2 words to get there post count up from making stupid posts.
