    I kind of like the current structure. With lower post counts needed at the lower levels, it gives incentive to some people to participate. Sure some people will post just for the count (I admit to that at times). Once they get to higher levels, most people aren't too concerned about the titles, as they don't really mean anything.

    If some higher levels were included, it would be nice, but certainly would not influence my opinion of the forum one way or another.

    I'll admit, I did wonder where Kilted Samurai came from.:confused:

    Perhaps Hank would introduce a new set of titles based on the quality of the post.

    I still feel like a bit like a newbie no matter what my current title says I am.
    The titles don't seem very important to me (though the "Kilted Samurai" title is one that always brings a smile to my face.)

    If we needed more titles I would suggest this, that after the Title "Grand Defender of the Kilt" the poster submits his or her own Title to Hank/the Moderators. If it is found appropriate to X-Marks that becomes their last title.

    Cheers

    I like both Colin's idea of restructuring the lower titles, and Panche's idea of a personalized title. I know some people have them for whatever reason, but it would be nice for those that have been a part of the community long enough to post 5,000 times to be allowed a personalized title.

    I don't see too many people padding for the higher titles, I myself also admit to padding at first, but don't even look at titles any more.

    So I vote for a personalized title at a certain post mark.

    Colin, you are a genius. Not only am I a kilt wearer but I until recently, played Star Wars Galaxies online. I love the Jedi Force ranking. Does this mean I have to drive to the force village and run quests? Are there bounty hunters out there that wear pants!!!
