The villagers have been replaced with Scots from around the 15th century....and the Sith are now Englishmen!!!

I tend to agree that the relative ease with which new titles are acquired at first helps draw people into the forum. It adds a little excitement for newbies. But personally I'm rather glad that I'm now in a spot where I've quite a lot of posts to go until my title changes. For some reason it takes the pressure off constantly posting.
So I guess I wouldn't change a thing with the rankings, with the possible exception of changing the name of the Kilted Samurai. That just always struck me as odd.

I think after the 3000th post you should have a personal title. You could PM Hank with a suggestion or two.
Post count padding does get to be a problem at times.
Post count in no way reflects kilted knowledge. If it did a few here would be a kilted genius's

David, I am exactly the opposite - I think we should do away with the titles entirely. I'm tired of gritting my teeth when I read the count pad posts, in otherwise good discussions. If there were no titles to achieve, perhaps people would post more thoughtfully. Silly me, what was I thinking?!?

Mike1,
I think that X Marks shouldn't stress too much emphasis on each post being worthy or thoughtful. I am by nature talkative* and a bit of a clown. I sometimes post things I find amusing , I sometimes post to redirect a thread from where it has strayed, I post to add my congratulations or sympathies, and sometimes post to simply say "I agree and am taking the time to read what you wrote". I wouldn't want to speculate on what percentage of them were quality thoughtful posts. But the posts I write represent me and who I am. I enjoy the amusing antics of Kilted KT and Pour1Malt as much as I enjoy Barb or Matt Newsome's informative posts. That is who they are. (This is not to say that the former don't have excellent insights or the latter can't be silly.) This diversity makes our forum rich.
I have only been part of this forum for a half a year. In that time I have noticed that some newbies have less than thoughtful postings. I have also seen that over time they tend to either drop out or the quality of their posts improve. If the easy aquisition of titles help inspire people to keep coming back and growing with the forum, then it is a good thing.
Again, I think we should leave the titles as they stand and add the option to all those "Grand Defenders of the Kilt" the option of submitting their own title to Hank/the moderators for approval. I know that personally I would rather be a "Kilted Swashbuckler" than a "Kilted Jedi" But there goes that whole diversity thing again.
Cheers
* I realize I might be the type of poster you were writing about. In my defense I am not going for the title. I just like participating

Bravo! Do away with them alltogether!
