As you may have noticed, we have names for the different ranks based on the number of posts you've made. They're pretty generic at the moment, so if anyone has any suggestions to make them more interesting, feel free to post them here. You can also make yourself a custom title, but it's in addition to the post count based ones. The previous board used the word bastard in many of the post count titles, but some people had issues with it.

I liked the Bastard titles. I know not everyone does, though.

I liked the Bastard titles too, I was too new to the old site to have a very good one. And now don't have one at all. But I always found the title Bastard a term of endearment! I am what I am!

Well, as you can see from my custom title, I rather liked the bastard ones as well. I just thought I'd see if there were other ideas people were interested in.

Bastard is amusing tongue in cheek but doesn't include all of us. I was born into a (very broken) marriage and still got expelled from the family.

I'm usually the outlier on this, but personally, I don't care for the term "bastard." Not that I don't ever use it, of course, but it's generally accompanied by a raised finger and directed at some asshole in traffic (or on FB) ..... |

Is there a minimum post count for a custom title? I made one on my profile page, but it doesn't show up in my posts. (Or am I just doing something wrong? Again .....)

I think you need someone on staff to add it for you. I saw what the one on your profile page was & added it for you so it shows up properly. Is that the title you wanted Big Bad Adoptee? |

Can I get "Plankton, a singe cell organism with rage issues, searching for the secret formula?"
or is that too long?

BTW - if you read my posts in Planton's voice instead of Morgan Freeman's (which, understandibly, you were probably using before), it will improve the realism of your forum experience.

Looks like this topic died down but I'll throw in my opinion, as well. I'm not a fan of the word bastard. My a-mom called me that in anger when I was in elementary school. I'd forgotten she was going to pick me up to go to a dentist appoint and walked home. Clear as day, like it happened 5 minutes ago, I can see the look on her face and feel the full impact of that word, even though I was just a kid and it happened over 40 years ago. I also know semantics and words only have the power we give them.
I'll work on that but if someone would be so kind to give me a new rank name when it gets to that, I'd appreciate that, as well.

We don't have any rank titles with "bastard" in them at present. I went with very bland ones. I have a custom one that was my title on the old board & I think suits me as an LDA.

Perhaps that's why I thought it was in use. No worries. Like I said, I'm not a fan of the word but it only has the power that I give it. And if I have to look at it every time I come on here, then I'd better find a way to make peace with it. lol It's just like any other bad word, some are OK and some aren't, to some but not others (if that makes sense). I try to be agreeable, I just thought I'd throw my couple cents in for fodder. lol I like the ranking names, it's fun. I hadn't even noticed when I graduated up but smiled when I saw I wasn't such a newb anymore. |

I like saying it when people try to make adoption all rosy. I have a little kid sounding voice so it really shocks them.

we have names for the different ranks based on the number of posts you've made. Is there a list of the names and the posts required to achieve each rank?  |
