Why don't I have a custom title by now?!

Is that actually used anywhere? I grepped for MF_SLIDE in my doom\source parent directory. Here's what it found:

Doom: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
Boom: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
MBF: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
Heretic: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
Hexen: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
Eternity: mentioned only once -- when it's declared
ZDoom: Nowhere in code proper, but mentioned in a comment as not existing anymore
GZDoom: Nowhere in code proper, but other than the same comment as in ZDoom, it's also present in a "things.h.txt" file that's in gzdoom.pk3, and I'm guessing that's for FraggleScript compatibility.

So, is it indeed a flag that does nothing, is used nowhere, and has survived in Doom's successors (counting both ports and Raven's games) only by inertia? Or is it used somewhere, but in an obfuscated manner?

I'm completely sure it is not used in any obfuscated way.

This flag seems to be development garbage. It's not referenced anywhere so ZDoom recycled its value.

The FS header can't remove it so that WADs which use it anyway, despite being useless, still run.
