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

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?

Can we pick our own titles possibly, or suggest new ones?

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.

Good point. For the webmaster, I suggest giving the longstanding female members of this message board the title of "Mistress Retro"!

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.

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...

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.

"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"?

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...!

I didn't mean to cause all this trouble, I really don't mind what the title is. Call me whatever you'd like.
