No i know there is no flaming on this thread. Just dont want people saying in future posts about how crap an idea it was since i have seen it work well before. So i should have said no flaming in future

I don't think that would be a good idea, when I added the stars and names, many people took it the wrong way The Stone Golem and other 'titles' are fine, plus I don't know how to program in perl good enough to pull that one off.

Although I agree that Azurewolf's suggestion (which was well intended, Azure!) could lead to some problems (either politicking or more number-spamming, depending on which way it was implemented), I do wish the titles could be customized for the different forums. Not EVERYONE here is a D&D'er, you know, and to have someone titled an "Elite Waterdeep Guard" when they don't know what that means really doesn't add up. I had to do some reading to find out who Lord Ao was.

For example, in the Wizards & Warriors forum, it would have been more appropriate to have our posters there titled with "Ukabu", "D'Soto", "Dowry Priest", "Scathing Spirit", "Highland Raider", "Boogre", "Kerah", "Lord Anephas", "Chosen One", etc. For those of you who didn't understand a bit of that, that's what it's like for us to read titles related to BG2 when we're not in a BG2 universe!

I realize that we're the minority, and it's not really worth making a song and dance over. It does get confusing sometimes, though.

Cheers,

Point taken..but I'm soooo tempted to just start chanting...."come to BG2...come to the light my friend...let the force be with you"...oops, wrong story...LOL

Sorry, Saz. I am aware that you feel like stepchildren...but look at all the BG2ers who now own W & W! Maybe we can convince more W & Wers to get BG2 and we'll be a nice mix of both?!
