POLL: Should the "Lifer" title be changed?

[glugglug]

Update: added "Fart-Knocker" as a choice.

 

[geno]

yay!

 

[Grey]

Got aways to go before you should care?

 

[iamme]

i think they should apply No-Lifer to those w/ 20,000+ posts

 

[KokomoGST]

How about we just assign random titles to people... as long as I don't get "Fart-Knocker"

Uhh since when does anyone really refer to someone who has a life as a "lifer"?? It's all fun when it's pointed out as a pun and all, but as a title, lifer refers to a person sentenced to life imprisonment [credits to M-W], not someone who does or doesn't have a life. Duh.

To further clarify, it's meant to signify they're imprisoned by the forums so to speak because they're so addictive and can't stop themselves from compulsively posting. By the time a member reaches 10,001 posts, that statement is obviously true about the member; hence they're called a Lifer. That's the metaphor.

Grand Nagus is a custom Hot Deals title endowed to myself and MysticMan1.
