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?

1) What I meant was that your previous post was a very illogical response to what you quoted.

2) The point of what you did quote was that you don't need to learn everything about it. It was sarcasm.

3) That's your title, offended or not.

EDIT: Come to think of it, this post is a pretty strange response, too. You really only responded to one of my points. The rest of what you said was kind of... random.

The title isn't about the show, it's about the colors you post in. Goob or kara or whoever thought that "Rainbow Brite" would also be sort of an easter-egg pop culture reference.

1) Call it illogical...

2) I'm not expected to know something about it. Full stop.

3) What's the point in leave things as they are? What's the point in getting people done? Things that worked for 7(6? 7? 8?) years aren't necessarily supposed to be correct and valid.

It was Goober, he told me.

I don't see the difference.

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.

And that should also tell you about something. The fact is that titles have always been a reward for exceptional service to the community or a punishment for excessive stupidity or ill-thought out posting. Given that there are people with far more insulting ones than yours and they haven't complained you should learn to loosen up.

(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)

It will last as long as the admins want it to last. This isn't a democracy. If you don't like it the only vote you actually have is with your feet.

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

Go ahead and try to convince the rest of the team to move because you don't like your custom title.

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

Remind me. And try to keep a straight face while you're doing it.

[colecampbell666]

Why is he? I couldn't find any indications in his last posts.

[Mobius]

1) I complain because other people complain. Someone in the past might have had a VERY stupid title and no chance of complaining since no one else was complaining. It's a basic principle that can also be applied to human history. It's very strange to see serious stuff like the SCP on one side and "meh" stuff like titles on the other side here on HLP.

2) There are good and bad consequences. Pics in signatures and avatars-for-everyone are all things I don't really want to see(Admins +), but there still is that "problem" with the titles(Admins -) and the fact that you realize that something doesn't work well after many years(Hard Light subforum, now General Discussion, and its posts...Admins -).

3) I'm not going to do that

4) Aldo's not a "newcomer",anyway...and he had his reasons.

[Colonol Dekker]

Gordon bennet. it could be much worse. i had kick me had kick me and i loved it Stop worrying, people read sigs more than titles. . .

1) I complain because other people complain.

You're the only one still complaining though.

Aldo's not a "newcomer",anyway...and he had his reasons.

I'm sure he did. But if you're trying to use him as an example either you state what they were or don't bother.

Not me, I have sigs turned off. The forum's almost readable that way.

But I find it funny how I get a title just for joining a mod project with a half completed model.

[chief1983]

Yeah, how did he get that anyway?

[Goober5000]

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

(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)

You speak as if there's going to be some sort of revolution or overthrow of the forum, when it's far more likely that we'll simply ban you when your annoyances reach critical mass.

You're the only one still complaining though.

It's kind of funny how he insisted on doing that even though not one but two admins warned him of the likely consequences.

But I find it funny how I get a title just for joining a mod project with a half completed model.

Actually, the only reason you had that title is because whoever added you to the SWC didn't do it properly.  That's also the reason the project badge wasn't clickable.  I've fixed both of those problems by re-adding you properly, but I thought I'd also enlist you as an illustration for Mobius in the process.

[Axem]

Hell yes! Longest title ever! WOOOO!

[colecampbell666]

And on your 1000^th post.

1) Yes I do. You came up with random questions that had none to very little correlation to my post. It's like in a UN WHO committee meeting, the Russian Fed going like "US ARVs are way too expensive. Go with China's or even better, South Africa's." and the US replying "Well Israel has legalized organ selling, albeit the bill in Knesset right now which would deal with it,"

2) Then why on Earth are you using "not knowing anything about it" as a premise for why you shouldn't have the title?!!!

3) It doesn't matter. And if your title prevents you from getting things done, you really need to get some help.

[haloboy100]

wait a second. It says mobius has no posts to me...

[blowfish]

Anyone who takes their title seriously is bound to be offended.

[Koth]

It says mobius has no posts to me...

I know I shouldn't but

[Dark Hunter]

Looks like they zeroed his postcount...

[Snail]

What about my Custom Title? Who changed it?

Looks like they zeroed his postcount...

I wouldn't mind that. Having more than 7,000 posts is kind of annoying. Do I have to get into a flamewar to have my E-penis shrunk?
