Ok, some hints...
I must add, in recent months we have been honoured to receive new great people joining the boards and becoming TS regulars.
There will be two criterias used with user titles: post count (managed by vB automatically) and merit/time-based ones given by hand.
For example, in MrG case, he has been around for over a year and his behaviour and participation has been outstanding, so he's a Paladin, the first rank given by hand.
I believe there might be certain cases in which 300+ posters could have some "in training" wording added, get the idea?
HOWEVER, I should also note, titles are not meant to offend anyone... just for fun purposes.
