"Back where he started". Again. Expectable... :lol:

So?

I don't mind about my Custom Title, either...it doesn't mean I don't find it childish, ugly and a bit nonsense(it doesn't fit well...note that I barely know what "Rainbow Brite" is!).


So? When I got this title, I didn't know what thinking was. Now I do, and I often do think :p. While you on the other hand, despite being able to google it, still don't know what rainbow brite is, and still post in italics and a weird color.

Oh, yeah, because Google helps you out with everything. I can google Star Wars, read the whole Star Wars page in the Wiki...but I need to watch the films to know Star Wars. Your point makes no sense :P

Call it weird... :rolleyes:


:wtf: Yes, and snail really did jump off a cliff, FUBAR literally is a trouble magnet in multi, and Karajorma really is banned.

YOU, despite what you can do for the community, will remain the "Think then post" guy...Cobra will remain the "n00b", Woomeister will remain the "Infyrno Missile" and nothing else, Black Wolf will remain the "drunk", CP5670 the "public enemy/Dr.Evil", Flipside the "mirrored", etc. etc.

The whole Custom Title su**s since it's managed by Administrators who consider 1/1,000 of what a member does/is and create a title which can be offensive and/or pointless. I found my old "Rainbow Brite" stupid because 1) I have never used ALL available colors and 2) Foreigners knew much better than me what MY title was about(again, using google and/or the Wiki doesn't change a lot).


Mobius, face it. You used red, green, white (:P) and orange. Granted, not at the same time, but you did to it. You DESERVE this title.

Oh, yeah...and you should know the meaning of the word "Rainbow" before posting :P

And I write in Italic. Does it suggest more than the word "colors"? :rolleyes:
So now you want an italic title? Nah, just kidding Mob. :p Just try to lighten up and look at the bright side, I haven't heard Snail complain.

I don't want an Italic title....but I think I'm more than "the childish guy who writes in color(?s?)". I think Black Wolf can offer much more than his famous thread(same thing for spartan and many others) etc. etc.

Seriously...how can you say something like that? That title was terribly offensive, I don't think it was the correct way to treat a modeller like him.

At the time he'd accused me of giving him his previous title (Which was idiotic considering I wasn't an admin at the time) and hadn't apologised after I pointed that fact out. Then he went and said he gives nothing but bull****.....

Well I think he has/is much more than what "Gives nothing but bull***t" suggests. His Custom Title is a bit offensive, too...I know a typo that, translated, is:

"Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience".

Just a coincidence?


[notme]So many people thought kara was an admin before he was...[/notme]

... :nervous:

In fact Goober said "de facto Admin [...] but now it's official".

Well I kind of reject giving people evil titles unless they are okay with it. I could understand Vasudan Commander's outrage at his "Biggest n00b on HLP -- And proud of it!" title (not that I'm saying it was you or anything).

I am okay with mine (but a better one would be welcome :nervous:).

There are many not-so-good titles in circulation...

EDIT: Tell me why Goober doesn't have a custom title about F*3, that "HLP member arrested" thread...or the fact that ST:R was supposed to be released many years ago?  :D

Dude. You have to be misinterpreting my posts on purpose. If you read the wiki for rainbow brite, I garuntee you that you will know what it is. Maybe not to the fullest extent, but unless you can't read well you'll know what it is. And the entire point I was trying to make with the second part is that custom titles don't have to be perfectly true. If you can't see how Rainbow Brite was a befitting title for you, then I don't know how you converse with anyone who doesn't always speak in the purely literal sense.

That's the way HLP has always been Mobius. It was like that long before you joined. Long before any of the people complaining about custom titles joined. If you don't like it there's always Game-Warden. You can have any title you deem fit there.


Oh and keep complaining and your title is likely to end up as Rainbow Dim. :p

Titles are not permanent.  There are many examples of people who have had their titles changed, whether from favorable to insulting (Black Wolf had a Twisted Infinities related title before his drunk escapade) or insulting to favorable (Kazan had several insulting titles in a row before he released PCS2).

I may learn something about it thanks to the Wiki but I still need to watch that program if I want to know it...

The fact that many members complain should invite to think about the custom title system...or better, the way it is managed. I know, HLP has always been, but I see only a handful of veterans and many "newcomers" complaining about many things.

The Old Ones will be forced to let us use avatars, pics in signatures and custom Custom Titles(:lol:) in the future(I don't like them, anyway)! :nervous: :lol:

(it's just a way to say that the classic "that's how things use to work here on HLP" is not going to last long)

Ok, there's Game Warden...are you going to move Inferno to GW only because Mobius doesn't like his Custom Title? :lol:

Ah, before I forget...do you remember why aldo is away from HLP? :P

I find it difficult to happen when certain titles become classic. I'm talking about Black Wolf's actual title, which is now a "classic". Kazan's old title(the one I seen, Alpha Monkey) didn't give the impression of something classic and permanent and I remember him complaining about many things.

You should really read all of my post before you respond, rather than merely the first 2 sentences.

Here's how our conversation vaguely went:

Mobius: I have absolutely no idea what Rainbow Brite is.

TheSizzler: Google or wikipedia is good...

M: I won't know what they are really if I read them, I have to watch them.

TS: I promise that if you read the wiki all the way through, you'll have a very good idea. (you stopped reading here) Maybe not to the fullest extent as if you watched it, but you'll know what it is.

M: I won't really know what they are if I read the wiki, I have to watch it.

TS: *facepalm

M: Reading the wiki won't give me every single scrap of information about it.

TS: *dies a little




And of course, you need to know every single piece of info about your title. Didn't you hear about the title quizzes? Every June, GooberXXXX gives out a 500 question mulitple choice test and you have to fill it out. Then you have to write a 100 page summarization of everything that has anything to do with your title. If you get one question wrong on the multiple choice test, or forget one scrap of knowledge on the summarization, you are set on fire and then shot full of arrows and then have salt poured on you and pushed into a pool of ammonia which is then turned to a temperature so high that it melts the rock it's in to lava and you're drowned in it.

But I didn't set that title. It's not my fault. There are other ways to advertise TV programs...

What the **** are you talking about?

1) Duh.  :rolleyes:

2) Yes it is. You type in a different color and in italics with full knowledge that it bugs people.

3) A TV program isn't being "advertised". I'm not advertising "thesizzler" by having it as my name.

My title? Someone sets the name of a TV program as my custom title and I have to learn everything possible about it? Is there a pro in feeling offended?

EDIT:

1) Dah. :rolleyes:

2) That color is calm. That's why I don't write posts in red(or in dark red, as Black Wolf told me to do via PM).

3) Of course, Goober's not advertising that program(but that seems a valid reason). Oh, and I don't know "thesizzler", either...  :lol:
