Are there plans to bring back the custom titles?

It's okay FFM, the rest of us have always considered you a n00b. 😉 j/k!

Honestly, I was going to say something like that, but I couldn't find any funny way to say it. 😛
 
A big :roll: to the people who are happy with the current state of affairs here. :frown:

Some people really deserve the titles they had... I refer specifically to many of the former "Elite" members who truly were "elite" regardless of title.

But, from what I can tell in searching the Help file (linked from the top navbar), the current state is just the default. Hopefully Jason aka Zuni will set things up soon so they will be similar to the way things used to be, but it's anyone's guess if that will happen. 😕

Guys, have a bit of patience, two guys on a sunday afternoon moved 12 million rows from one db to another and upgraded enterprise software to a new version and changed application servers... we're doing the best job we can. Patience please.

Wow, only the two of you :Q

Awesome job for just a pairing. 😀 😎

Sadly, not for me. Elite was sweet for a short time - back to Platinum for me.
I'm guessing that they will have to reset custom titles like Elite back manually since it's not really based on post count like the rest.

Hope they backed up the list somewhere. 😉 😀

Just kidding, I'm sure they'll get around to it soon enough, once other more important things are taken care of. 🙂

I think that all posts made in OT should count against your post count... 😉

posts counts are useful for people who want help because they know who has more seniority and who has helped more; however the problem with AT is that people go and post zillions of times in OT and it doesnt mean jack. So here I am with a reasonable number of posts that are mostly usefull and yet I have a very small post count when compared to others...

Not that I want to single you out Nik, I just think that posts on OT shouldnt get added to ones total post...

Jason, everyone is giving you guys tons of crap but I think things are pretty good. If people were to search before posting their problems, they'd see there are easy solutions already posted.

:beer: for you doing a great job.
 
And I thought I dodged the bullet by getting a custom title and bypassing Lifer.

Now it's plain for everyone to see that NO, I don't have a life... 😉

That's actually an incredibly useful and simply kickass idea!

Thanks much. You guys do a great job. 🙂

I can't imagine how long it's going to take to sift through all the members and restore Elite status to those who used to have it, you guys have far more work to do than I would care to have. 🙂
