Well, in a sense it does belong here, because it's about an aspect of the Forum specifically, rather than a general comment. Maybe this section should be called "Queries and Suggestions" to cover this sort of thing as well.

In that case, it's probably in the right place - but 'Eh?' is probably not the right name for it. It's better as 'Titles', so I've changed the title of the lead post.

Back in the very first days of signing up here, I very nearly posted to the effect of gloating that my post count was higher than bunnylump's. I knew it was pointless though...

I've noticed my new Title. I didn't realise I could nominate one for myself! :lol:
But then I have described myself that way at least three times. ;)
Perhaps it suits me - God rewards Fools. 8-)

There are no "rules" for titles and most just happen because of a chance comment , (Sparkout's referral to Bunnylump as Mrs Boingybott), an obvious link between avatar and signature (Strep98), or just because it may be appropriate at the time, (me- Scurra pleases himself according to the mood I'm in at the time the title is allocated).

Anyone can nominate a title for anyone else, but please not publicly. On occasions (on other forums) some may be derogatory - we aren't having any shannanigans of that kind on this forum :mrgreen: . Please PM me if you have an offering.

If appropriate, they will be duly allocated.
