Custom Titles
Merlin | Oct 27 2005
You are permitted and encouraged to make up your own "title" as a user here. Just go to the "Personal" area of your profile and give yourself a swanky one. I especially like the corporate angle a few of us have taken. For example, I'm "Chief Handwaving Officer" and I notice the Josh is "Vice President in Charge of Index Cards." I think this is funny, and it would delight me if you'd consider a Corporate President, VP, Director, or C-Level title that reflects your habit, obsession, or worst characteristic. :) See you in the steam room, you magnificent bastards. 13 Comments

I would imagine that somebody around here will be willing to put off doing real work by creating a Web 2.0 AJAX-enabled Official Office Title Generator that outputs to XML or TXT. »

Never mind Ajax, just Google 'corporate titles' for many fine inspirational starting points. ;) »

Nota bene, friends: that although we've massively upgraded the board to vBulletin, you still have the ability to make your own title (and I still very much encourage you to do so). The defaults, as you see, are cheesy and based on number of posts rather than imagination :( After you login just go here and fill in your "Custom User Title." Let me know if you encounter any problems. Thanks! »
