from ‘Member’ to something else, or is it just for the chosen few?

(Sorry if i’ve missed something, been busy today)

You could try starting a thread on the new classifieds rule. That might get the mods to offer another distraction 🙂

Not sure you can change the “member” bit, some just get given something new…

righto – the people on question must have been ‘assigned’ a new title 🙂

druidh’s just jealous because he missed out!

how about ‘schlong’

Or maybe I just need the username ‘Swollen’

I earned mine.

or ‘Purple’…

I earned bought mine.

FTFY

You fancy a battle aracer?

Al granted me mine

JY, you’re missing an epic battle legend

I always knew I want a big hitter. More a pin hammer than a ban hammer.

I started it. 😳

scaredy-only for the original big hitter.

is “Bit Bitter” available ? – or maybe Big Biter ?

bruneep, yours looks like you’re winking at us from your pillow – cheeky !

i want to change my name to ‘not quite a’.
how do i do that? 😀

I still want schlong

Best not tell the girlfriend

I won a capiton competition after “the big hack”… dont’ I get anything 🙁

Swollen

🙂

Mine changed on the old forum for a little while, changed to sheep shagger or something along those lines

I earned mine.

As mentioned, you bought yours.

Stinks of ‘new money’ in here.

Is this the STW equivalent of personalised number plates? Used by knobs to pretend to be something special, but actually just polishing a turd? Or will we be using the title scammer for those we suspect of being a bit dodgy so that we can easily identify who to witch hunt each week?

I earned mine.

Ah – FFS – my spelling is terribly. Wasn’t, not want….

I earned mine.

I earned mine.

Yes, with ‘favours’

Personalised name tags are very reminiscent of personalised numberplates, if you desire one then that says far more about you than any witty tag/plate ever could.

Indeed, well for those who take themselves rather seriously.

Or have no other life but the one they project on here

Tag envy – brilliant :D. This thread is warming up nicely

Getting personal, what a surprise…and you would know that about a forum member you’ve never met?….how exactly?

Anyway I predict that tag-envy will create such flaming from the minnows/poor/those who’ve not earned it that it will never happen again.

This is indeed shaping up to be quite a thread.

Sort of like a car crash only far less exciting

Oh I’m not jealous not even a little bit, but it does make me think a few things –

Why do people on an anonymous internet forum get a kick from being singled out as “big hitters” or “special”? Isn’t the point of this forum to get help from other cyclists, get advice and occasionally a decent debate? So why would we want to pander to some egos and make them no longer just another guy, or girl.

Secondly,if we can change these, then why aren’t we doing it for people suspected of being scammers, or people who use the forum just to trade or even those who are in the trade and come here to promote their goods and services “under the radar”?

It just seems very strange to me that this functionality exists and certainly isn’t being put to its best use.

Spot on Rocketdog. Nail on head.

I earned mine.

Aye, in a cash for honours way.

RoCKetDog in a pot/kettle jam. You seem to be the only one who’s kept that spunky mix of upper and lower case characters. 😉

Can people wear these when on the trails?
That way we can spot the shite riders easier.

predictable response again Al, i would surmise no one ever meets you because you’re always on here inflating you own ego! it’s not tag envy, it’s just pity, as to having “earned it”, well you “donated” money to get one so that’s rubbish, I’ve got better things in real life to spend money on
