The Forum Titles

Is there any way we can have the old forum titles back? These Jolt titles are really quite immature and n00bish, IMHO. I mean....Sp@mQueen advisor?

Also, once we've got the immediate capacity problem solved, there will no doubt be a bunch of other, less important forum issues to tackle.

I believe the forums title inanity falls under "other, less important ... issues". Don't worry, we'll get those fixed. Remember, Forums have only been up for... what? less than 8 hours?

Thanks Hack - I understand that it's probably not at the top of the to-do list, but I didn't want to have these as permanent titles.

Heh. Neither do I. I miss my old 'Game Moderator' title. The ones for the Mods show no differentiation between jobs. FM, GM, Admin, etc.

Heh... I already whined about it on IRC... I thought it was a spam warning at first (since I was one of the first to post and it does not show on other posts)

I do NOT like to be a spamqueen advisor.

But sure, take your time ;)

I hate mine too.

Thanks though, are these the standard Jolt ones?

Oh the irony of rewarding people who hate 1337 with increasingly 1337ish titles. Im ok with mine, but it's not as good as Senator.

I'd prefer my old title: Steadfast Pacifist. These titles sound n00bish (I don't even get 'CyberSheep Farmer'), but hey: great to be Jolted!

Yeah, these titles do kinda suck. I miss my "Cardboard Tube Samurai" custom title. :( Hopefully when they get to that part of the "To-Do" list they'll still be able to do custom ones as well as the originals from the old forums.

Hopefully they don't add the custom titles, because I didn't like mine http://terranordalis.thirdgeek.com/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I don't know what my title is going to be, though I'm sure it's going to suck.

And these forums go as slow as they always did, though I'm sure that will be remedied in the coming days.

Good job though, on the transfer thus far. Jolt is freakin huge, but from what I can tell on their main forum, NS has the biggest following of them all. Take that.

And yeah Hack, you need to make your own title up. Heck, now that they are all redone, YOU could be Arcane Magistrate.

My old one was puppet master, by the way.

Anything would be better than "Negotiator." Talk about a boring title.

Nah... I'm just super happy I can post again. ;)

I believe the ZX-81 is some kind of computer system or programming language :)

My title sucks too, though.

And I have to restrain myself to try and see if there is any word-censoring in place, it will probably get me banned if I do go and try :D

Yep, a computer. My first computer was a ZX-81, and I first learnt to program on it. I'd love to be more nostaligic about it, but I've got more memories about the BBC Model B I later used, and I'm not too sure whether initially learning interpreted BASIC actually helped or hindered my forays into the more professional languages I tend to use (amaturishly) these days.

Ahhh...Steadfast Pacifist. I was really disappointed not to win that title ::sigh::

(You don't, by any chance, want to stick with CyberSheep Farmer and hand SP over, maybe? Just thought I'd ask... :) )

I can live with other people being unable to post. This is my EGO we are talking about! The implication that I am 'l33t' for posting thousands of considered RPing posts is making me depressed and emotionally insecure. ;)

Okay... that is maybe a bit overstated. But seriously though, if we were able to set our own titles... or disable the showing of them... that would be nice. I would get rid of this one right now.

You can spam yourself to godly hights, here. Titles are worth shit in Jolt. (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=29) Unless you have a nice moderator title.

it is a reference to this computer.

I actually own one, and I own the 16K RAMPak for it too.

I keep it cause it is tiny and a neat conversation piece.

here is a page with more about it.

True, but fully customizeable titles could be nice too. Perhaps make it so you can get your own title when you reach 3 billion :D

All the titles are horrible and stupid, to say the very least; I'm very disappointed that we couldn't keep the original NS member titles. Has their been a ruling or statement that we can somehow change that and use them again?
