Obsidian Posted January 15, 2014 That gave me a good giggle. On a side note, it'd be cool to see someone wandering around with "I must be Lüt" as their title. I'm still not sure about the legitimacy of that one. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted January 15, 2014 Some of you may have custom titles and you just don't know it yet. Think TimeOfDeath and blackfish 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted January 15, 2014 I have a long and storied history of spectacular custom title failure. When the banhammer drops, so does the title. 0 Share this post Link to post

Phobus Posted January 15, 2014 Hmm... Subtle. If I were one for reverse psychology I'd probably be pretty proud now. As it is though: Dammit! EDIT: Well, in the spirit of good humour, I've just spent half an hour trying to draw a stapler (red, naturally). 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted January 15, 2014 Custom titles seem to be random and vary on an admin's mood to do such. 0 Share this post Link to post
Springy Posted January 16, 2014 I really dread to think what mine would be. On the subject of custom titles, someone has to explain Hellbent's title and the reason of that one, heh. That has to be the best one I've seen so far. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted January 16, 2014 I wonder if anyone has "Senile Member" as their title. 0 Share this post Link to post

That's from last August 2012, when Hellbent was without a custom title and created a Blog thread to commemorate his 4,000th post (Forum Legend). One of the admins (possibly Lüt) must have decided a new custom title was the best way to mark that milestone. Avoozl said:I wonder if anyone has "Senile Member" as their title. Might be mine after my next (60th) birthday. EDIT - How time flies 0 Share this post Link to post
Chow Yun Thin Posted January 16, 2014 I thought Bloodskull's title was pretty hilarious the way he earned it. I think it was about bragging to a woman and he got caught in a lie. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hellbent Posted January 16, 2014 I was soooo stoked to reach the estimable Forum Legend! (Not that I ever posted with the aim to boost my post count). And then.. wham! Humiliation and disappointment shattered 13 years of forum dedication :(. I miss my original custom title, granted upon request, no less: Guinness Gulper, though I have toned down my Guinness drinking considerably since back in the day when I requested the title. Pretty amusing how this thread is a spawning ground for custom titles. :D I also laughed out loud when I noticed Phobus picked up an extra 'r' at the end of his custom title. Took me a moment to realize his custom title wasn't quite right ;) (then again, I just had three beers. Stouts, even [not Guinness; a local microbrew called Black Bear Stout]. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted January 16, 2014 I just went back to the Hellbent blog for amusement. Instead I found within the most-embarassing, worst post of my time here. Disappointed. Would not read again. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted January 16, 2014 Every thread about custom titles, results in a few being handed out. Pretty sure Esselfortium gave me mine in one such thread. 0 Share this post Link to post

Phobus Posted January 16, 2014 Ha, having looked up the character I see what you mean. I realised as soon as I was done that my stapler (drawn from observation no less, although mine is translucent and blue) looked a lot like a mouth and so positioned the eyes appropriately. Looks like my artistic talents need some developing :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted January 17, 2014 They could create a title for 1993 posts like "Doom Member" for example. 0 Share this post Link to post

I read somewhere (maybe in a Post Hell thread?) that asking that kind of stuff will get you losered/banned, which in turn will create some sort of "paradox" (is he asking to see the losers forum? Loser him!). I don't know if it's really like that, but just to be sure, don't do it. You'll probably regret it. EDIT: Orthography. EDIT2: I'm an idiot. Also, you could try asking someone who's been losered. 0 Share this post Link to post
