Quick question -- How would one go about adding a "custom title" beneath one's username? The option doesn't seem to exist in my profile settings... very queer.

Word choice, connotation. Koopaslaya suggests: odd, peculiar, strange, bizarre, weird, unusual.

Don't make me take this into the political board on you!

Weegee: After five minutes of barely considering all the factors, I have formulated the laws of Custom Titledynamics:

1. The likelihood of your custom title referring to a previous post is inversely proportional to how significant/smart the post seemed at the time.

2. The level of insult/teasing inplied in your custom title is directly proportional to how annoying you make yourself (something I seemed to have pulled off in spades).

3. The comic potential of a custom title is directly proportional to how many people get the reference.

4. I suck at coming up with scientific-sounding rules.

Sure, but how do you get a title? Do the mods simply bestow them upon you at their whim, based on your actions?

Yep pretty much.

Actually, that's a pretty good summary of the situation, Turtlekid.

Not all custom titles are negative. Sure, positive ones are rarer because they're less funny, but neutral ones are fairly common if you say something peculiar. You probably won't get one for that if you keep trying.

I'm somewhat fond of mine, actually.

I still haven't been able to figure out whether mine is positive or negative. Maybe neither.

My custom title is an ever-present reminder of my Xbox LIVE shame.

Kimimaru · « **Reply #384 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:48:06 PM »

I think mine is more on the neutral side. BriGuy92, I think yours is neutral because it can be both a good and a bad thing.

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #385 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:49:14 PM »

Mine's definitely positive.

Kuromatsu · « **Reply #386 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:50:44 PM »

I honestly have no idea what mine is supposed to represent.

Mine was from the Posting Ranks Topic...

When do I get to be a Koopa?

Holy!
This site still exists, I think first time I got here was more than ten years ago, I remember checking those fan art, they had all the anime eyes thingy. Good to see you dedicated.

This is kind of embarassing, but... I don't really know where to post this. There's tons of beta Mario stuff there I'm pretty sure isn't on this site.
