At the moment, custom titles can be handed out only by myself and a couple others. Please be patient...
Basic rules:
1. Don't even bother asking for a title unless you have been here at least three months.
2. IF you want a title (and meet the above criterion), post in this thread. You can make a suggestion, but we may decide to give you a different title if we think it suits you better. NO titles will be given out without a clear connection to your screen name and/or something that happened in the GL (including chat).

It's ok, Lepty...
Thanks for trying...
If there's no way of getting them to work, you can use gibberish...
Most users viewed the title in gibberish anyway...

That's because it's an image - we couldn't do it through text and we wanted him to have his old title as is.
(listen to me and all this WE stuff. You'd think I was instrumental in all of this, and I'm not. I'm just opinionated and vastly knowledgeable.)

The image, I assume, gives off a hover for the same reason that many images give a hover.
PHP doesn't have custom titles: what I have to do is create a special "rank", and then assign it to a certain GLer. These ranks can have images attached to them - we would see a custom title and an image below. The system requires the rank to have words, but it eats up HTML, so I put in a couple tags so that nothing would appear above the picture.
That said, I don't know how Antrax did RSA and Coyote, although I intend to find out when I have time. |

Jemus! I only said that because Beartalon stated the obvious, thus still leaving me curious. And... it's not like I've put three hours into writing that sentence.

Which part was obvious - the stuff about it being an image or that I'm opinionated?

I think it was the part where we thought you were instrumental in all of it. 
Neo, I don't want to be a smartass, but your post was hypocritical. You complained about someone complaining. |

It's because when I first arrived, I flirted with zorT Kitty constantly.
I don't mind that title, but I don't know how she would feel about it. |

Anybody want to explain Da5id's, Sessie's, and Vinny's titles?
And is there any deeper backstory to mith's title beyond the fact that Luna is mith's girlfriend? |

Da5id's should actually be Kick him in the shin and run, IIRC. I can't find the thread but he posted a puzzle that wasn't a chestnut but sounded like one, so there were a slew of chestnut type responses. One person proposed the answer of "Kick him in the shin and run"

LW, you are correct about mith's title. I don't know of a backstory to the titles of Vinny and Sessie.
Jedo now has a custom title. (if the kitten in question has a problem with this, we can find something else) I changed Da5id's as Samadhi suggested. |

Oh, Vinny's is from a thread where he was listed and he said that "Only the promiscuous are listed" or something like that.

Thanks for the title, Lepton. I hope she doesn't have a problem with it. (If she ever comes in here again. )
BTW, I think she'd like one as well, a title that is. You might start thinking about one now and ask her when she returns. Just a thought. |

My niece has now started teething, and has also learned how to cry for attention. Give me a new title, I no longer wish to be associated with her. 
Actually, it's more that it was a topical thing... I don't know. I guess the novelty has worn off. But I seem to be a bit fickle about these things, so don't worry too much about thinking of something new. But if you do, I'd like to hear it! |
