Man, Kel, can't you ever just accept the title you're given and move on in life? :) -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I would think any custom title, White Rabbit included, is better than no custom title, although I would probably change my mind pretty quickly if given a bad one. Banned and canned are the only custom titles I've seen that I thought would be worse than no custom title. I want it to be certain though, that nothing I say, now or ever, should be seen as a request for a custom title. Even though I would like a custom title, I don't really think anyone deserves a custom title if they have less than a few thousand posts, with the exception of people who deserve banned and canned. EDIT: Post count and contribution, I mean. I thought contribution didn't really need to be said, since it's kind of obvious, and I don't see anyone bieng able to contribute enough to earn a custom title in less than a few thousand posts.

EDIT: 2002 ... wow I guess it's been 3 years since those times. EDIT 2: Although now that all that stuff is long forgotten, the title does sound pretty cool.

Er, post count really does little in earning you a custom title. Contribution to the community is the main thing. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Moderators seem to be people who signed up early as much as contributers, seeing as some moderators rarely do things here, although I don't doubt that they did at one point. Custom titles and thier recipients/non-recipiants seem to be as much who Drakey likes and hasn't asked for one as contributors. Also, see the edit to my above post if you haven't noticed it yet. Oh, and what's Drakey's K and A matching comes to mind in relation to what? -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

I don't believe I ever explicitly asked for a title, in fact. I've just very strongly implied such a desire. SMoE asked Stareye to give him the title "Senile Reptile" and got it. Some people have all the luck. [Edit: Grammar good!] —Alorael, who blames Drakey's refusal on the fact that he's the only one with his title. Iit would be a waste of a few minutes of Drakey's time spent setting up Postmaster General and Your Postliness if nobody ever had them.

Yes, i understand what it means, but why was it mentioned? I doubt Dolphin just mentioned the match because the conversation is about custom titles. It sounds like the response to a question or statement, but I'm not sure wether it applies to my statement, as in I can't think of any custom title I've seen that I wouldn't prefer to no title, except canned or banned. Drakey's K and A matching comes to mind. or something else instead of the first statement. -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

Evil_Tim - It was more a general statement of Drakey's presumed logic of giving titles. You said it might be due to post count, and Ben said contribution to the community. I said “Drakey's K and A matching comes to mind.” because he picked them because he made a connection between them. That is too say Drakey has his own logic. Sorry if that caused confusion. I figured that could be easily interpreted in relation to the posts referring to reasons for giving titles, but oh well. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Kel, I think your title's kind of cool. Lewis Carroll references rule, for one, and there's also the association with the first Matrix movie, which, barring memory of the other two, was pretty sassy back in the day. What the heck does Thuryl's title mean, though? Has that ever been explained anywhere? Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

They should be betas as opposed to b's though, shouldn't they? Does the "10010" signify anything? Tricksy Thuryl - ture isn't a verb. [ Friday, June 10, 2005 06:38: Message edited by: Andrew Miller ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

To 'ture' is of course to make a noun out of a verb. It is a metaformation from such instances as 'furnish -> furniture' and 'invest -> investiture'. I never thought about it before, but of course Thuryl is right that you need to attach the extra syllables somehow. Recombinant neologistics needs its tools. -------------------- It is not enough to discover how things seem to seem. We must discover how things really seem.

Hey, if turing tape can attach furnish to furniture, maybe it can be used to attach other abstractions to material objects. That would be very handy. You could use it to keep facts at your fingertips, or if you found that the meaning was coming loose from your written words. Or to stick the Form of human being to a bunch of long chain molecules. Yep, handy. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that instead of using 'ture' for the act of turning a verb into a noun, you could just use 'noun' as a verb. That would be self-referential in a contradictory way, and in this context that would be bad. You might find your thoughts going round in a turing circus and never stopping. This thread is getting ontologically hazardous. Time to go for coffee.

Ah, but which of the turings would you be circling in? Turing definitely seems to be of use, though I'm afraid it will find less use than our friend the gerund, which I engaged at the start of this sentence. Still, you have to admit: turture is cool, though it may seem a bit turturous. EDIT: Out of curiosity, what uni are you at, SoT?
