I’m actually surprised, and a bit disappointed, that we aren’t seeing more title changes. Would it help to nudge more changes along to put up a notice at the top of the Board landing page, rather than just a thread in ATMB?

I can’t, for the life of me, think of a thing to put.

I’ve thought of lots of them for others😏

Stickied in ATMB **is** the very top of the board landing, at least for me.

A lot of people don’t use avatars, either, and that doesn’t even require mod intervention.

Anyway, I’m playing the long game: eventually my lack of a title will be the coolest of all titles.

I think it is globally pinned.  
That’s pretty much max exposure.
