Nope. . .it is totally evil of him to do this to me, after my reign of terror. . .

Anyway, how about Great Tolkienite for the top?

Or something like that. Somethign that reflects the author.

Yeah BC, Ardahíru and Ardatúru both mean "Lord of Arda".. I think they're good..
Ooh, ELGEE would be so cool to have if a member surpasses 5000 posts! That would be sweet, seriously..

By the way, this may be real cynical and stuff, but most members change their Title the second they have the chance anyway.. I change mine every so often (althuogh I guess I should keep it at 'Moderator'.. But that's just boring!)

Just another status symbol. . .everyone loves status symbols. . .

I'm working on 5,000, but most of my posts are Stuff and Bother, so I'm not going anywhere fast. . .Ah, the plight of the useless and off topic. . .

Well we change our titles because Loremaster is sooo achingly boring! And old!

Elite Tolkienite

Could be one...

100 - Loremaster

300 - Numenorean

700 - High Elf

1500 - Maia

2500 - Valar

5000 - Aratar

10000 - Ardaturu

And then 15000 : ELGEE

I actually thought that was a good idea. No kidding.

BTW: A brilliant idea BC.

Is it just me or won't this increase spamming? People spam enough just to get to the 100 mark . . . I don't know that I want to know how much they'd spam to reach the others!

Spamming Spamming Spamming... Every thing is caused by Spamming! I don't think this happen. I just proposed this idea because the vast majority of this board consists of users well over the 100 mark. I think that the preset titles under 100 are completely useless if it only goes to 100... We can't be THIS tight on spam protection... It comes with every forum... there's always bound to be a little bit... But what's the fun if 75% of everyone is a Loremaster!? That's not much fun!

Suppose there are more preset user titles...What use would they be when anyone and everyone can change their title after they reach 100 posts? Anyone could change their title to what would normally require, say 1000 posts.

Nah, I don't think we really need this. If you want a certain title, you can change it to your heart's content.

Hmm... Well I changed my title because there was nothing else after 100, so why just keep it at Loremaster? Now if there are other things I'm shooting for, then I would have a reason to keep the preset titles

I think it might be kind of fun. I don't think it would cause spamming. People spam to get an avatar or a custom user title. They don't normally spam to get the ones on the boards.

I would keep mine if they were cool, sometimes, and other times do the custom.
