The idea that is being thrown around now is that rank-based titles will be irrelevant when the new forum software is implemented. Jay's considering an idea I came up with where anyone who is new to the forum remains a Padawan Learner for six months (or some other predetermined amount of time). After that time, they can create their own user title. We figure that the time period that you spend as a PL will help judge your willingness to continue with the forum. If you are still active after that, a custom title is yours for the taking. If you want to be a Jedi Knight, go for it.

Me? I'll go back to being "Hired Gun." And I like it. That's what I used to be before I got up to Jedi Spirit.
