The number of posts is enough to determine who is new and who isn't. Let the users make their own titles if possible.
User titles: Yes? no? maybe?
Ok guys and gals. I thought I would put this up for discussion with everyone in the community. There is a feature on most forums where users can have a fancy schmancy title by their username. A lot of other sites use this to rank their members' status on the board. However, since this is a community, I don't really feel that ranks are appropriate. We are all equals here. We really don't want newbie bashing to occur...just as we don't want an elitist attitude to form amongst longer term members.
However, this does not mean that we can't utilize this feature for something fun and frivolous that doesn't carry any kind of rank to it. I came up with a couple of simple ideas. And we all would like to hear your ideas or feelings on this topic.
Here's my ideas: 1) The title could indicate make/model/year or even colour of your main vehicle. 2) The title could indicate areas of personal interest. Just as an example, Toxiclows could have a title of "Dirt Track Racer" if he wanted...or I could have a title of "Special Edition Restorer".
Those are just some ideas. Keep it light and fun. Anything that enriches the community is a good thing.

Screw board ranks and cheesy cookie-cutter titles for how long you've been here.... hehe.
I kinda like user-modified titles... make it whatever they want within reason. A lot of other boards do this. That way, if you want a neat catchphrase, you don't have to put it in the 'location' field like so many people do... lol.
