I, for one, would like to be known as “Hammer of the Gods” A name change may be in order… And for Cecil: “Yes, I’m _that_ Cecil. Feel free to grovel.” Lynn Bodoni: “Insert chocolate [HERE.](Link goes nowhere)” The link would go to a)her mailing address OR b) a website of her choice. ---

- - - How about letting paying members pick their own title, perhaps with moderators and admins showing up in a different color? Maybe with something like “Nondescript” for new trial users… Normal=black, red=mod, blue-admin, gold-Cecil. I know that other boards do it (allow you to enter your own title). ~ ---

Damn, after three pages of suggestions, each and every idea I had was taken! [General] 12 Stepper Licensed User Sold Out You’re ad here Soldier of Fortune I cast another vote for “Doper” and “fighting ignorance since…”.
