    That was when the new forums came up. I actually joined the previously existing forums in October 2001.

    I think you underestimate our average age. I'm willing to bet that most of us were using computers before then.

    I think you misunderstand hyperbole.

    Because it's true!

    Bwahahaha. Can't believe I was the first person to say this in response. Man.

    Half the members that were awarded custom titles before this change didn't deserve getting them.

    A conservative guess would be that an equal amount of members that deserved them never got them.

    So again, it's all politics. <img src="http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    He should use the hyperbole tags, they're there for a reason.

    I don't have a custom title.

    So shouldn't your custom title be "It only took 'x' years, but I finally got a custom title" or something? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Don't be jealous just because you didn't get one.

    I detect a hidden meaning in this post. It's faint, though... I can't quite decipher it... something to do with Depot, and jealousy... whatever. Maybe someone else can dig deeper.

    Jealous because I didn't play the game? I think not.

    Sounds to me like the ones who were given custom titles are the ones who are jealous now, lololol. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Game? is being funny or having some sort of story to get a title a "game?"
  • DepotDepot The ModFather Join Date: 2002-11-09 Member: 7956Members
    How would you or anyone else know if I or many of the others are funny or have a story? You wouldn't, point made.

    If you did, I imagine someone would have given you a custom title.

    Because the proper way to express your attraction to something is to use it as a representation of yourself. Wait, there's something wrong there.

    The only logical explanation as an answer to that is what everyone tells me on IRC, I'm part townie, it's in my blood.

    How did Compy get his *Chortle*? That was what intrigued me to making this thread!
  • MonkfishMonkfish Sonic-boom-inducing buttcheeks of terrifying speed&#33; Join Date: 2003-06-03 Member: 16972Members
    It doesn't matter how he got it! he didn't deserve it because in-jokes between mods and such is stupid and depot is always right.

    I got the title *chuckle* when I got the fade avatar (forget who gave it) and then at some point Monse decided that it was old and stale and said he was going to bestow a new great one on me. He ended up on *chortle*. Monse sucks <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    did you miss the part about how you can set your own?

    or you just can't be bothered to change it?

    Oh, no. I know coil gave my avatar but someone else gave me the custom title to fit my avatar. That is who I don't remember <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
