Excellent work, **Sidney Evgeni Jordan**! Now, does anybody want to be “The Swarthy Stuart” or something? 😛 ---

I should also mention if you use the PayPal “eCharge” option of paying for this PayPal will hold up your fun until it processes the transaction, which may take 5 business days or more. This is a holdup on the PayPal side and we have no control over it. When they release the funds to us the title becomes available. If you do this you might want to talk to one of us so we can reset your timeclock on this if needed. ---

> [@xash](#): > > Members and Charter Members will have their titles replaced by their chosen custom title. Mods and admins have Moderator and Administrator on a new line below their custom titles. Any chance you could consider allowing Charter Member to appear on a new line also? Some people will be less likely to pay for a new title if it means overwriting Charter Member. ---

I was reading a thread where one of the posters had something …_different_… under eir name, and wondered what was going on. Came over to ATMB, found this thread, and whee! I just signed up for a week of custom title, and while I was in there, I renewed my subscription. I am now embarassed to find that I can’t think of a decent custom title. ---

> [@Sidney Evgeni Jordan](#): > > Do it. Brooks Orpik. Apparently, someone said he looked like a creepy guy who would lure kids into his van with promises of “free candy.” (The exact details – whether it was his fellow Pens who said everything, or someone made a photoshop of him in a van with “free candy” painted on the side after they heard it, idk. I’ve heard both.) Isn’t the PG version that his hits are like “free candy” (so not to upset the family-friendly crowd?) 😉 But did you hear that now it’s “Freedom Candy” since he’s playing for the US team? (Sorry, sorry, for the off-topic stuff) ---
