I like it too. Is
Ecstatic
better, or no? Thinly veils the drug aspect of it.

I think UberNinja might have the right idea with not making his title just the name of a drug.

That's fair, but I'm not sure Ecstatic gets across the right emotion. He's a warm happy, not an electric happy. (by default, I mean.)

Ecstatic is the only one with that obvious drug connotation.
There are lots of "happy" words to choose from though.

If we want to throw in the "he's gay" thing as well, we could do, say,
Ecstatically Gay
...
...but that sounds a little too forcedly complicated.

No. The obvious connections will point to him being the only Gay on site, which is far from true.

For one, the obvious connections aren't really what we're looking for. And Ecstatic is probably fine, I'm just being obnoxious, I think.

I'd much rather a title that no one knows wtf it means (like shaft.ed's) over a title that half the people on this site will get wrong. These titles are getting progressively worse btw. Ecstasy was the best of the three. It gets the reference to the drug thread incident and the happiness in one fell swoop. What's not to love?

Ecstatic is the best so far. Don't just force gay in every title for a gay member.

Yeah, if being Gay was something we wanted to make a title out of, half the site should have titles.

I think the issue here is that right now it's just "Matt is happy and makes other people happy" which is fine but it's a little one-note and makes it hard to find a title based on that.

Being happy all the time isn't a fair reduction.

Is the basis of the discussion that MattP's happy and everyone knows it?
If that's it, then how about
