Currently custom titles are given on a discretionary basis as there is no system for enabling them for all subscribers which would be the ideal thing. This discretion also sometimes has to be used to remove custom titles when someones action or comments warrant it, like I removed TdC's when he had a porn link in his sig.

such lies

What he means, I think, is it's not possible to let only subscribers to GAME have custom titles, and not people who've just signed up to the forums for free.

Yeah I realise none of you were really serious but it's still something which bothers me. And the fact that Tom's custom title was revoked as a punishment for saying something bad about subscriptions seems absurd on two counts. First, that taking away a custom title is a punishment at all, and second that saying bad things about subscriptions deserves a punishment (rather than, say, a refutation). Or am I missing the joke? Please let that be a joke that I'm too cynical and pessimistic to recognise.

ye, tell us!

This bit of this thread has been kind of amusing
Louster you'll have to do something jolly terrible to lose your custom title !

I thought Jolt had that sort of system going tho, for their ADSL customers?

 

[Deadmanwalking]

No jolt had it going for "Premium Forum" customers or something. They pay 12 quid a year for access to other exclusive forums and go to choose own title

 

[Ch3tan]

And before they did premium forums they were ebaying the right to have a custom title. Truly shockingly greedy.

Arstechnica has forums for subs only, it did this some time ago due to the high number of people using their forums.

Stop saying that

I don't really think forums for subs only would be very appealing, seeing as there doesn't really seem to be that many subs around. Mind you, I don't know

I sub to GAME, I rent a server and paid for extra webspace. Feel the love

 

[S-Gray]

i think i must be the only person round here nor to ask for a custom title... hmm

 

[caLLous]

Except for then, when you tried to be subtle and ask for one on the sly.

I think SG's custom title should be:

Awww! A scowser who don't thieve!
