I like your PT Might!

I have spend alot of time thinking about what mine should be, should I ever get one, but now I cannot remember any of my ideas.

It made a great day even better, it is my mothers birthday, the whole nation has been celebrating winning the European Championship and then I come home to this

I am simply extatic, also because I did not expect to get one. . . .With me not being around that much anymore and all.

I too have been bestowed the honor of having a personal title!!! I cannot believe it!! and to top it off I will get mine at the same time as some of my favorite Downer's

This is going to be interesting to see what everyone picks.

Congratulations to all! Exactly how do you get a title? I know it has something to do with your reputation, but I don't know exactly how it works.

Eeks...how exciting this is! I was wondering when more BDers would get PTs as it's been awhile. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses.

I believe you have to have at least 500 posts and make a significant contribution to the forum (in quality, not just quantity). Usually members who receive a PT have been around for at least a year, though that's not always the case.

How do I get a personal title?

The best way to get an invitation to select a personal title is to distinguish yourself by making meaningful contributions to the forum. Here are some fast ways to NOT get a title:
  • Pester BW or the other moderators for one.
  • Quickly pump up your post count by posting anywhere and everywhere with low or no-content posts and topics.

Generally the requirment also consists of having 500 posts but some exceptions can be made as in the case of Naria as she was close to 500. It is true that you need to make yourself a name as a meaningful contributor to the forum, and at least fairly well known to an admin or mod.

And many felicitations to all the new recipients, they are well earned and deserved.

Ah yes - my old title was lost in the forum's recent update and in the replacement process, I was allowed to change it. "Ghosted" no longer applies, since my internet access is now stable - and I rarely have time to chat nowadays anyway. So the "Princess" stayed with the addition of what I appear to be most associated with...
