So what exactly do I have to do to get a title other than "forum regular"
Marcel, Matty? Please advise if you will
:D
nothing!
it either happens,,,,or it doesnt! :D
Although I seem to have been stripped of my title, for some reason!

If anyone on here deserves a title then Janice does for some of the superb threads she has been involved in!
Maybe 'under the table' rather than 'feet under the table' lol!!!

Anton - I noticed it was people who stirred things up a bit who got these so when I spotted a thread matty started in the wrong forum I decided to prod him a bit about it to see what happened :shrug: - I ended up with "Bobby Davro" presumably due to my lame jokes & stupid comments :embarrassed: - recently I have been "upgraded" to "Dazzles Bobbies" which is more appropriate & agreeable :D
It does seem to be based on what sort of mood matty is in & how much you upset him :lol: - you could try the sucking up approach but you might end up with a moniker like jonnyreb :wave:

Ah Wile - just noticed yours! Very good!
:agree: - Always liked CT's "Gobs in Nikons" which isn't, as it seems, being derisory to The Dark Side but refers to this (as told by CT himself)
I once removed the focusing screen from a brand new Nikon F4 and attempted to blow a hair off the screen (knowing full well it was a dumb thing to do) and managed to deposit a huge gob of spit on the matte side of the screen which dried in a horrible gooey mess. I couldn't live with it and took it to my repair guy fully expecting to have to fork out for a new screen. He disappeared into the back of the shop and five minutes later returned with the screen as clean as new. He never charged me either, but for months afterwards, I had to endure... "Gobbed in any good Nikons lately Cedric?" whenever I saw him.
Paul ;)

You can make suggestions for words and definatitions to the OE dictionary can't you - shall we all write in and suggest "Janice" as an additional one for floozy then?! (Sorry J!)
Honestly Anton - I'd suggest not looking for anything more "unusual" - you could end up with something really dubious - look at Minimeeze, a perfectly innocent comment led to her being known as a "dinkle spotter" for ever more! :lol:

On the other hand, Im sure it made us seem a bit cliquey (sp?)? Thats something that will discourage noobs imo. I think that may be part of the reason why it was done. Plus it was getting a bit out of hand tbh, esp with certain users having theirs changed every week.
If you were referring to me, Joe, mine was changed often but it had nothing to do with me......it was not something I asked for.
I only noticed it kept being changed when other people drew my attention to it.
It was being changed by others suggesting it to admin I guess. :shrug:

Yeah, I can see where youre coming from with the cliquey thing.
I guess peeps all perceive things differently and that has to be taken into account.
