There's a possibility that the strip may be returning on Monday, depending on whether I can get the last few site changes I need to get done this weekend or not.

Also coming when the site goes live, the ability to buy titles here on the message board!

$10 will change your title to one of your choosing.

$20 will change someone else's title to one of your choosing.

$30 will change your title and protect it from being changed by anyone else for six months.

Paying for a title will lock it and prevent it from being changed by a moderator for a period of two months, however, unless you pay to lock your title, there's no guarantee that someone else won't come around and pay to change it immediately (title changes will be handled automatically by the board software and should take place almost immediately after the payment is made).

Titles will be able to contain some VERY basic HTML (nothing more complicated than, say, Delidgamond's title, for instance). Any title that contains profanity or breaks the board layout may be revoked. (There'll be a preview option so you can see how your title looks before finalizing it.)

Group A = People with money
Group B = People without money (me....)

Group B becomes Group A's title bitches.

Titles will be held to the same general rules of conduct as regular posts to the board.

One quick question, will titles still also be assigned in the normal way as well (with moderators choosing one they feel fits, when they feel like it)?
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yes, but a moderator can't change someone's title if the person has paid to lock it, or if it's been changed to a paid title in the past 60 days.

You sure the conversion isn't closer to

Change someone else's title = $1900
Protect your title = $40,000

Question.
What if you already have a title you want to keep, but want to lock it... Do you get to keep the title change for later use, or is that forfeit if you dont choose at the very moment? I've got a nice title that I dont want to change, but I do, however, want to lock. I was wondering if I could still keep that title change ability for later use.

It aint like I have the money to protect my title... but luckily, I have been slidding further into the woodwork, lately, it seems.

I can just imagine what people here are gonna wreak on others.

Well, I can't see someone paying 20 bucks to change my title... but if they do, oh well.. I mean, am I going to be like this:

"Yee Gads! My "Member" title has been changed! Nay, Nay I say!"

Uhhh... no.

And I'm broke, so I can't change it meself.

I might lock my title cause i know some people on this board are gonna use it to thier advantage, hell remember when we could change our posting names? that lasted what an hour before people were doing lame and immature things with it. Some people arent mature enough to be trusted with something like that hehe

Hm, this doesn't sound like a good idea, noone here even knows me, so I'm not concerned, but I can see this turining into a lot of folks unwilling to pay to un-change their titles getting really ticked off, if you need to have it you should make it really expensive, or limit it to people who've been here long enough or something to that extent.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
