What is important to me on this board is the fellowship, the shared knowledge and ideas, and the support (first time, current wife/girlfriend objects, where to buy, where to avoid buying).

That happens because newcomers are made to feel welcome...from thinking about the first kilt to kilted a long time but new to the board. For that reason I like multiple titles early on.

This is a mutally beneficial deal. New folks bring more fellowship, knowledge, ideas, and support.

While on one hand the titles based on post count don't mean anything necessarily. Any backslapper poster can ramp up their numbers.

On the other hand a significant post count at least lets the newcomers know there might be some knowledge to be had from the poster.

And, this boards most positive feature for me is the decorum...been redirected more than once myself...but do appreciate the moderators who do keep this board both friendly and open. For me, the titles sort of lend to the dignity of the board.

I have no interest in the sci-fi type titles though.
