Nick decided to have some fun with the status names of users, the name you're given is dependant on the amount of posts you've done, I'm a Captain Retro but I'm still waiting for my uniform to arrive Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :
And can we have a badge too.Oh go on pleeese!!

It'd need to be a big one for me to see it from way up here.... Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :
Hey,the Shrimpmeister speaks today.see it from way up where dude? are you now on a cloud 'cos of your Godliness? But how cool!! i'm retro now.i can hang out with other retro dudes and say things like ''Shaft...you're damn right''and i know longer walk! I swagger (or strut,depending on which is coolest). Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :
Damn,I cant believe i spelt 'no'wrong in that context! I was totally good at english.
Posted by paulshrimpton (Member # 1022) on :
Much more of that and you'll be losing your Retro status - although Retro Geek is available - maybe we should make everyone that uses bad grammar become a Retro Geek for five posts?
Posted by Samurai Sweetie (Member # 1529) on :
LOL!
Can we pick our own titles possibly, or suggest new ones?

Ya, I've been gone awhile to come back and find out----I'm a CAPTAIN Retro Member!
Coooool .
Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
Um, thanks, to whoever came up with the "Captain Retro" title. I feel truly anoited.
"Captain Retro"? Is that a Superhero? Maybe somebody will make a movie out of this. Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :

Good point. For the webmaster, I suggest giving the longstanding female members of this message board the title of "Mistress Retro"! Posted by McFly (Member # 354) on :
Mistress could be too deragatory.
Retro Babes?

Though I don't mind "Mistress Retro" I do think "Retro Babe" would be cooler for the Forum.
As it is, I don't like the title "Dude" , and "Senior Dude" is very manly, argh!
So please, give us ladies something other than "Dude"! Posted by TwztedChk84 (Member # 1585) on :
I like "Dude". It's one of my favorite words. ;)Retro Babe?? I don't like that. I think that it's sexist. Do I sound like Jesse Spano, of Saved By The Bell, yet? To make it more femine.... hmmmm... I don't have any idea. Maybe babe is the best thing. Even though I don't like it... it is better than Captain Retro.

Well, I hate "Dude", and along the same lines of what you're saying about "Retro Babe", "Senior Dude" is kinda sexist too
I don't like "Captain Retro" either though. it would be ok if this was The Military, but it isn't.
I don't mind being called "Babe" though, at least by close girlfriends or boyfriend and all, but "Dude", I'd slap someone if they called me that. Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :
I certainly would not want to be slapped by someone who calls themselves Samuri...! Know what i mean?
Posted by Nick (Member # 404) on :
Well... err... I'm sorry I sorta blew it with the fun names. I would happily give the guys and the girls different names BUT this board has no way of knowing what gender you are OR giving different names to different genders...
So... the game is: Everyone decide on a 'unisex' naming system to replace Junior Dude, Senior Dude and Captain Retro and I'll happily change the titles... Posted by Samurai Sweetie (Member # 1529) on :

Hmmm, I was thinking, doesn't this board have add-ons and upgrades, alot of message boards have additional add-on areas to put in people's profiles which include [Sex], also alot of boards have an option to have user determined [Custom Titles] I was also curious, why are our "Signatures" disabled? hehe
Anyways, I'll try to think of some new Titles for male and female both, and I'll check up on add-on upgrades for the Board too if that's ok. Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :

"Dudette"?
My suggestion of "Mistress Retro" is not meant to be degrading or insulting. Sometimes, you will see female webmasters referring to themselves as "Webmistresses". So "Mistress Retro" or "Retro Mistress" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
How about "Retro Chick"? "Retro Gal"?
Posted by Smayt Gateford (Member # 1500) on :
Hey.! Even I like the idea of being called a Retro Chick and i'm already a Retro Dude. And yes i'm confident enough about my sexuality to wear both...! Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I didn't mean to cause all this trouble, I really don't mind what the title is. Call me whatever you'd like.
