Like Mobius, you mean? Simple. First, be consistent in your usage, so that it becomes a personal trademark. Second, contribute to the community. Third, hope that the admins are kind enough to create a custom tag for you.

I guess that sums it up.

May I ask you why you want a custom font? If the reason is feeling special or anything like that I'm afraid you're making a mistake because it's the white text that makes people special. Despite what people think, using a particular style is not a way to feel "more equal than the others". There are many advantages, like finding posts with ease when scrolling down threads.

Yeah and as you can tell by Mobius' post count, he posts a lot and finding his posts would be a real ***** if he didn't have a specific trademark.

Not from me.

As far as I'm concerned if you do that and can put up with the rest of the community complaining at what an idiot you are you've done enough to keep it. That's how Mobius got it in the first place after all.

I'm certainly not going to prevent anyone else using them when I didn't do it to him.

I can't say the other admins feel the same though.

Well, I think the main objection to it was people using Mobius' particular signature font. People objected to Grimper using Mobius' tags because it was confusing. Or something.

Like I give a damn about that. :p

As I said, if the person concerned doesn't care about the backlash, why should I?

Plus if everyone does it and it gets annoying enough I'll bury the tag in the grave next to [Glow] :p

Or mass ban people doing it.
