Silly Title wanted, or not!

[ccga3359]

Everyone knows I liked the titles. They were totally useless, didn't mean a lot, and conferred no real status or importance, but they were ours and part of the fun of this place. They were kind of like us!

Bet'cha I can make you shudder!


Substitute the word "Titles" for the word "Grant".

Titles don't mean much but they are one of the reasons I keep posting. After five years as a member of this forum, I've almost made 3000 posts and would like to have some recognition for that.

I don't have many posts to my credit which may be telling but I thought they were ridiculous and I am not sad to see them gone. Perhaps I would feel different though if I had participated in a ton of posts. Not really sure, but I genuinely like the look and feel of the updated site.

In order of ascending hierarchy can anyone post a list of the titles and the number of posts required to attain them?

I'm guessing probably not...

Lets see there was:
Kilted Samarai at 100 posts
Kilted Warrior at 500 posts
Kilted Noble at 1000 posts
Grand Defender of the Kilt at 4000.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Bet you weren't expecting that. Mr neither, but Grant is just full of surprises.

Grant is a man worth knowing.

Wow! The title says it all.

I am hard-pressed to recall a single instance in the 3 years I've been on board that someone has waved their post count over someone else's head. I know of no one here that is so ignorant as to believe that their post count is indicitive of their kilting knowledge.

Morrison I stand corrected, I thank you. I would bestow upon you the title "Kilted Elder, keeper of archives".

I don't know about that!
I'll wager I know a little bit less than anyony else about kilts and other stuff too. I have 749 posts with THIS post and everyone know that at 750 posts I become a non titled Kilted Noble who knows much less than I would if I were training fleas at the market.

Them archives are heavy and weighty and fill a great deal of space. Even thought it appears there is space in there for archives, I'm afraid that that space in my attic is filled with vacuum and guano and others strange things! !

HAY!!
This post is my 750th!

I would have had the title KILTED NOBLE bestowed upon me. Sunufugun

I don't believe I stated that I had seen or experienced someone waving their own post count over another member's head. If I did, that was not my intention.

I believe I stated that I've seen members with lower post counts dismissed over their own count.

There's a difference. I'm not the only one who's been on the receiving end of the latter.

Twice recently someone with a low post count who could have been argued with from a different perspective (and who had left a lot of room for himself to be) was instead shot down simply over his post count. What does that say to others about the character of the general community? We were willing to dismiss people because they were new even before we suspected they might be trolls? I've seen this happen in the past as well with folks who turned out to be productive community members.

These sorts of dividing lines make nice catch 22's. If you come to learn, you're irrelevant until you can prove otherwise with knowledge and experience you may not have. If you try to be friendly, you're trying to pad your relevancy. What's left? To sit down and shut up because someone else has been here longer and everything important has already been discussed?

This is exactly the reason many of the forums I have frequented have post count, post count based titles, etc. turned off.
