0 - 1 Spambot 2 - 99 - something 100 - 249 - something 250 - 499 something Id say maybe every 250 instead of 500. Or heck, just make it random. 2-43 and 44-172. Then 173-190. Just to keep people guessing. Now just hold on there a moment! Some of us round here take our OCD rather too seriously. That kind of randomness could shake the very foundations of something with pretty shaky foundations. I do think Dan's idea for extra steps is a good one, though, and picking up on the MM idea, how about having a series of monster based titles with smaller steps going from 2 to 1000? 1 = "Spambot?" 2-9 = "Aarakocra" 10-19 = "Bugbear" 20-29 = "Carrion Crawler" 30-39 = "Doppleganger" 40-49 = "Enveloper" 50-59 = "Flail Snail" 60-79 = "Gargoyle" 80-99 = "Harpy" 100-149 = "Invisible Stalker" 150-199 = "Jackalwere" 200-249 = "Kobold" 250-299 = "Lurker Above" 300-349 = "Mind Flayer" 350-399 = "Naga" 400-449 = "Otyugh" 450-499 = "Purple Worm" 500-549 = "Quasit" 550-599 = "Rot Grub" 600-649 = "Shambling Mound" 650-699 = "Troglodyte" 700-749 = "Umber Hulk" 750-799 = "Vampire" 800-849 = "Will-O-The-Wisp" 850-899 = "Xorn" 900-949 = "Yeti" 950-999 = "Zombie" and then as now from 1000 onwards... It would take a bit of setting up, but it would be awesome!

 Re: Forum titles?
I don't know. If it were me, I'd sort them in order of CR. Kobolds and xvarts and what-not at the bottom, devas and planetars up top.

0 - 1 Spambot 2 - 99 - something 100 - 249 - something 250 - 499 something I had something like that at 1st but then several people started to bitch that they were to close together and to random. Now that there is an ordered system and have 500 post count jumps people bitch. If I switch systems again people will just start to bitch again in 6 months. I'd be willing to deal with both the work and the bitching of a new title system but only if I get something in return. I want a rep system.

 Re: Forum titles?
A reputation system. It's where people can basically give a  or a  to someone for saying/doing something really awesome or really terrible in a post. It would keep track of the total which would (probably) be shown like one's post count. It's basically a rating system like Ebay rates sellers/buyers. Personally, I'd be willing to give it a shot as long as there was a certain limit to how much rep someone could give in a certain time.
