In post 1509, Accountant wrote:I agree that "aren't we all" is a good title for McMenno, but I think he's been toning it back lately, which might indicate he's no longer really "into" the quirk.

On a meta level, the quirk is perceived by many and indicative - maybe even the archetype - of low-effort posting. That's not really something I'd like to see in a title.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Accountant, just because you toned down the jamal joke, doesn't mean Mcmenno doesn't want the title.

I did indeed already reject it.

I just don't think these catchphrase nominations make for good titles. It just seems so low effort, like it's not that hard for me to start up a new account, start saying something for a few months, and then whambam, a title. There aren't a lot of these in the title pantheon anyway.

The biggest example is RachMarie's "HUGS" one, and that one is one of my favorites just because it encapsulates more than what she said, but her whole attitude of positivity and compassion. If a catchphrase is going to be a title, it's going to have to be a good one, but even more, it's really going to have to be more than just the thing they say a lot.

If someone's title gets replaced, can they use their old one?

For example - SleepyKrew's original title was Snark Attack, then it got changed to Did His Job. Can he freely switch between those two titles?

I don't think you can.

That'd be a cool profile feature though - a dropdown of all your available titles (past wins, custom, default-based-on-postcount) and you pick which one you feel like using.

sad story:
When the new postcount ranks came out, I removed my title so I could be a Survivor for a bit, but someone else turned Snark Attack back on :(

What if it's become something everyone else says because it's a meme now?

I don't get what makes a title good or not

Zulfy being robbed was bad for being a flash in the pan meme, but at least it encapsulates a feature of the community and a memorable event of him

Mcmemeo being aren't we all sucks because it's a meme but is it really that bad

What if I nommed accountant for "It was a cunning plan", would that suck? Yes. But not at all, it was a memorable thing.

Maybe if you keep trying the same title with each new fairy, the numerous attempts will turn into a title-worthy joke on their own.

Harambe was a gorilla living in a Cincinatti Zoo. He was shot by a zookeeper after a boy climbed into his cage. There was controversy over his death, as some felt he was killed unjustly. This was exaggerated into a meme, calling others to acknowledge Harambe as their lord and savior, hold extensive memorial services in his honor, and more popularly to expose their genitals "in memory" of him.

People showed their genitals for a gorilla!? That's gotta be one of the strangest things...
