eargosedown Posted December 8, 2012 Possibly my favorite aspect of Doomworld is the way custom user titles are handed out. A few of them are quite funny, but others seem very odd. So, share the story! I'm interested in hearing some of the doomworld forum history =) 0 Share this post Link to post
schwerpunk Posted December 8, 2012 I haven't done anything too stupid yet, hence why I don't have a custom title. Although the reason I've managed to go without doing something stupid has more to do with me being a relatively new member, and less with any kind of self-control on my part. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted December 8, 2012 How I came by mine is a bit of a mystery, it simply appeared one Easter and I've yet to find out who to thank for it. Suppose you could call it a forum Easter Egg. EDIT - Easter 2009, to be precise. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted December 8, 2012 It seems the unequivocal sooth and salubrity of my posts earned me my title. That and there being 2000 of them. According to my profile, I'm a few posts away from being ascribed the mantle of "Spammer". It's a bit of an anti-climax. 0 Share this post Link to post

Obsidian Posted December 8, 2012 I wonder how often Mord hands out custom titles. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted December 8, 2012 I got mine through some kind of custom title giveaway thing years ago. 0 Share this post Link to post

Devalaous Posted December 8, 2012 On a thread similar to this, I said pretty much exactly what my title is. Just replace "my" with "someones" A few seconds after posting, I thought "Huh, I probably baited someone into changing my title"...and sure enough it changed. For over a year now (I think its been that long) I get amused every time I see my own title. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted December 8, 2012 It's an indication that I post too much on this forum and/or have been here too long. Oh wait, this isn't helping... 0 Share this post Link to post

Quast Posted December 8, 2012 I won a forum contest, I think it was something like guess the map name from ambiguous screenshots. It might have been something else though, I can't remember really. 0 Share this post Link to post
exp(x) Posted December 8, 2012 Before the avatar system was fixed, Lüt embedded my custom avatar in my title. After my avatar was properly set, someone set my title to be empty to clear the embedded avatar. I think this is why I have no title. Whatever the reason, I like the minimalist look. 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofheck82 Posted December 8, 2012 I posted a certain amount of times and uh...yeah. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted December 8, 2012 Mine was requested in a random "request custom titles here" thread. Given the state of the Castlevania series as of late, I really am starting to regret the title. =P 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted December 8, 2012 There was a mass defection from ND in 2003 when Phoebus got ban happy. I wandered over here to talk to some of the guys and was offered a custom title. It mirrors the one I set for myself on ND in 2002. Some of us over there used to use the place like a chat room and thus we had something like 20,000 posts. 0 Share this post Link to post
