Can we have another custom title contest?

[Reply #40 on:]

Naah, winna already has his.

[Reply #41 on:]

I agree.  But this is exactly why we need another custom title contest.

[Reply #42 on:]

So let's stop talking about it & do it.

[Reply #43 on:]

PM maRc.

[Reply #44 on:]

There is no maRc. And maRc is a sucky username.

[Reply #45 on:]

There is no maRc.

There is only ZUUL.

[Reply #46 on:]

Damn beat me to it.

[Reply #47 on:]

By over an hour as well...

[Reply #48 on:]

I was busy. 

[Reply #49 on:]

Oops, it's maRc.

[Reply #50 on:]

Oops, it's maRc.

*facepalm*

[Reply #51 on:]

Maybe his caps activate afterwards.

[Reply #52 on:]

 Oops...

[Reply #53 on:]

Don't you mean oOps?

[Reply #54 on:]

Oops, it's maRc.

*facepalm*

This deserves something more than just a facepalm...

[Reply #55 on:]

Want me to hit him in the face with a shovel?

[Reply #56 on:]

2 shovels please.

[Reply #57 on:]

You know, what I think we need more than another custom title contest is going back to the glittery title medals of PEEL 1.0.  I know it's a bandwidth stealer, but it was pretty cool to see next to your name...

Sorry to go off topic; please continue...

[Reply #58 on:]

Agreed. I've had this gaping hole in my life ever since they took the shiny away. ):>

[Reply #59 on:]

bandwidth stealer?  Like a couple of kbs maybe everytime a page loads?  And the fact that most browsers cache it anyways?....

Gopher made some really awesome ones, and they were the stuff, I'd vote more to change to those than anything else, but we have a thread where just such the proposal was already made.  The Aesthetic Renewal thread.....

Anyways, I think the reason for shiny being taken away is a lot more than bandwidth; things like people posting just to post and add to their poster score...

Furthermore, I don't know if mArc will ever move on that one, his stance is pretty set in stone.

[Reply #60 on:]

I just heard from him.  When we switched over, there were changes in the ranks; the twinkly medals are no longer available.

I'm going to cry myself to sleep in a corner now...

[Reply #61 on:]

You just heard from who?  It's been like that for over a year now seattlejohn...

Don't worry, everything will be alright; we'll get by, I promise.

[Reply #62 on:]

Oh Winna... 

[Reply #63 on:]

As I remember, the problem from a technical standpoint is that peel 1 used separate images for each star, medal, etc., while peel 2 only supports using a single image for rank. Of course, this is hardly an insurmountable hurdle - we have the technology, after all - so I suspect it is more an excuse than a reason.

[Reply #64 on:]

So, you're saying mArc is just lazy?

[Reply #65 on:]

I said nothing of the kid. I merely implied he has other motives than technological difficulties.

[Reply #66 on:]

Like lazyness.

[Reply #67 on:]

*laziness

Anyways, hardly.  It's all part of the super secret shadow PEEL government run by #futuramachat plan to something or other..... or something....

[Reply #68 on:]

Geez, you're not even trying anymore, Winna...

[Reply #69 on:]

 What do you mean? He's just as trying as ever.

[Reply #70 on:]

[Reply #71 on:]

So, you're saying mArc is just lazy?

I said nothing of the kid.

So now mArc is a kid? You just keep digging yourself deeper...

[Reply #72 on:]

What are they gonna do, take away his mod powers?

[Reply #73 on:]

Impossible...?

[Reply #74 on:]

Winna, if you were given mod powers, you'd have to ban yourself.  

[Reply #75 on:]

I have.

[Reply #76 on:]

Given how much you multipost, I'd have thought you permabanned yourself by now...   

[Reply #77 on:]

They like using this account too much.

[Reply #78 on:]

They?  Multiple Personalities?

[Reply #79 on:]

Multiple people.  Two of them have/had mod status.
