But my only staff member is Maeglamor, and he's HLP staff and actually had to give me back my title because of the problems they're having with vB.

Why can't we all just... get along?
I liked it the way it was, where if the Powers That Be gave you a title and avatar it was special. I got one because of my FS Port project being hosted here.

'Had to' as in I couldn't do it myself and I begged him to do it.

Just checking.

What else would I mean?

Yeah, if things start to turn out that way, titles should just say with admins and those who've "earned" them I think... just keep things the way they are I guess.

if it ever becomes a problem then we will simply restrict titles to admins.

Notice to admin: I've started a poll related to this in the staff forum, please reply to it ASAP so we can sort this out and let things settle down.

I figured.

I don't really care about the titles too much as long as I can post stuff, which is what forums are for.

I liked the old way better, I mean, only HLP admins (and not hosted peoples) to be able to change titles, coz it's more fun

Yes that's the way I liked it too... this way with the moderators being able to make their own custom titles is ****.... besides, with only admins giving titles, it makes them appear more powerful  You do want that, don't you admins?

One of the things I really liked about the old forum system was that Most people didn't have 'specials'. I thought it was really cool when I logged in one day and I found that someone (presumably Setekh) had changed my title to "*404error*". I didn't request it, I didn't put it there myself and no one ever mentioned to me that it had been done. Because it just appeared there one day, I figured that I'd passed the test of merit. It 'meant' more to me that way. Custom titles and avatars should rest entirely in the hands of the admins.

I liked the old way, getting the title Hanger Man was a good day indeed.

[Thorn]

Personally, I couldnt care less what my title is, someone could change it to "Sally" and I wouldnt give a damn (hell, I'll do it myself).

I gotta say, I go to some forums where previously you could have custom titles, and there was no problem. People still worked on **** and tried to gain distinction- they just didn't do it for silly privelidges. They also had some kinda system worked out eventually (I don't know if this is feasible or not), where everyone could get a custom title AND a stock one, and it was a great honor to have THAT one messed up. 'Course, the whole affair is silly, but if that's possible it was an excellent compromise.

Me, I'm just happy that this way I can some day get a different one than I had on the last board...

Sounds reasonable enough...

Exactly!
