[Maxed Out]

Just saying.

[Maxed Out]

lol, TD....I think thats more efficient than asking

[Woolburr]

Nice try Stayfree!

That is a good idea. s/he will give you one when s/he is ready. But I do have a reccomendation since you have tried so hard.

uh hmmm TF for Maxy efforts:

Persistently Absorbant

ROFL!!!:lol::lol::lol:......wow jamie, nicethats a good one *high five*

[Jamie Holladay]

And fitting (even with out wings according to wanda)

[Maxed Out]

Please TF, I'm not asking for a full fledged title.....just a temporary one.....pweeetttie pwease.....


I think its a good compromise....

[timbernet]

Dude - give it up...

[T.D.]

Dude - give it up...

Amen to that, Scott!!!:lol::lol::lol:

[timbernet]

Amen to that, Scott!!!:lol::lol::lol:

I have never, ever, ever asked for a title (at least not by creating a new thread asking for one) and I have had at least 3 or 4 custom titles in the past year...

Just saying...

[ayotnoms]

Given the unseemly begging, I have a title suggestion for Mr PMS-helper: "Junior Member"
:lol:

[Karl C]

Dude - give it up...

Hallelujah!

Get a date, go out and shoot, do something other than sitting online asking for a silly title.

[wu_wei0]

Happy BIrthday, Max! I was gonna start a thread for you, but you beat me to it.

Dude - give it up...

Amen to that, Scott!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Amen x2

Seriously, ages ago i was trying really hard to say stupid things to get the attention of the TF. The day i stopped trying, i scored my title...

Oh and happy bday Maxi :D

thanks again jamie, I think this is my last attempt to summon the TF,(I must be doing it wrong:D)....hopefully i can get that title for a day.....at least my quest would be over;)We've been telling you that all along. Right now you're being so persistent that it'll take a monumentally stupid and embarrasing remark to earn you one. TF doesn't like whiners.

That is a good idea. s/he will give you one when s/he is ready. But I do have a reccomendation since you have tried so hard.

uh hmmm TF for Maxy efforts:

Persistently Absorbant
Given his inability to absorb everyone's guidance, Persistently Non-absorbent is more appropriate.

Given the unseemly begging, I have a title suggestion for Mr PMS-helper: "Junior Member"
:lol:I like that one better, too. Or maybe "Infant member"

[Belmondo]

Maybe the 'Absorbent One' should consider a different user name. Since he appears to want the same name as something soft and stuffed with cotton, but without the unfortunate reference to a sanitary napkin, we should call him Pot Holder instead. Or how about Beanie Baby?

[Maxed Out]

Happy BIrthday, Max! I was gonna start a thread for you, but you beat me to it.

Thanks wu;)

thanks:D......well at least I tried.....i gues the TF isnt forgiving even on my birthday:rolleyes:

[Time Thief]

With a name like yours you couldn't do any more damage. I could be wrong since I don't have one but it seems from the others that it is meant to be embarassing(most of the time) and your name already does that for you. Oh yea, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Quit trying, it will come in due time.

my name doensnt embarrass me:lol:

[Belmondo]

my name doensnt embarrass me:lol:
That fact alone should embarrass you.:rolleyes:

[Maxed Out]

The fact that I should be embarrased is opinion:lol:

[timbernet]

No... truth :-D

[T.D.]

my name doensnt embarrass me:lol:

Yes, that's our point.

That fact alone should embarrass you.:rolleyes:

BINGO! Listen to your elders, Minnie!

The fact that I should be embarrased is opinion:lol:

Nope.

No... truth :-D

Listen to the Boring Boy as well, even though he's just barely your elder.

[LucyRoberts]

Well Maxy, I missed your Birthday yesterday... sorry. So Happy Birthday to you a day late!

[Maxed Out]

Yes, that's our point.



BINGO! Listen to your elders, Minnie!



Nope.

so what do you want me to do.....weep over my name:lol:

[Maxed Out]

You're in luck.....today is my b-day......the 19th;)

[T.D.]

so what do you want me to do.....weep over my name:lol:

Not at all...just send a PM to CDS and beg him to change it. Tell him it was a momentary loss of all senses when you picked it. He'll understand.;)

Perhaps Maxy19 would suffice?:rolleyes:

Or live with the eternal ribbing you're going to endure...your choice.:lol:

[Belmondo]

Truth is, there are probably people who will avoid you altogether just because of your name. It tends to suggest a general lack of regard for good taste and decency. It might be more appropriate in a gaming forum where shocking people is the order of the day and the average age of the participants is 16 years old plus or minus.

You're dealing with a somewhat older audience here, probably an average age of 35. You'll find yourself more likely to be accepted into the community if you come across as a photographer first and a kid second. When you reverse that order, you can't really expect people to take you very seriously, and a name like Maxypad only reinforces the perception that you are somewhat who doesn't give a lot of thought to how you present yourself to others. (i.e. 'kid' behavior)

Ouch. But sage advice as usual.

Love the new title. ;)

[LucyRoberts]

Let's not gang up on him too bad now.

We've given him our advice and guidance. Not much more you can do for these kids nowadays.

One day he'll look back on these pages and see the error of his ways. That future embarassment is punishment enough.

[Permagrin]

it's just time to change it to something more resembling how the 19 yr. old male thinks: i.e. Maxwellthemagnificent ;)



happy birthday again little Mascot!

[ayotnoms]

Sometimes, it's better to be seen than heard.
not sure I agree. Did you see the photos posted on his other title-begging thread?? :lol:

Mr Belmondo sir, can I make an official request that any ...um...smackdown you might feel I deserve be delivered via PM?? ;)

The problem though is threads such as this continually appear from the same people. If they're willing to leave themselves vulnerable like that, we have an obligation, nay a responsibility, to correct the errors of their ways (or at least sling a few potshots their way). ;)

:lol:


(I'm thankful I came of age during the pre-computer, rotary-dial phone era!)

[Belmondo]

The fact is, Max seems like a nice kid, and he has a good sense of humor---a necessity around here.

My last post was not intended as a smackdown, but an honest assessment of why some people might seem to be ignoring him. Also, please be very aware I exercised a great deal of restraint. I had a great one-liner all ready to go regarding Light Days, but resisted .

[Belmondo]

Mr Belmondo sir, can I make an official request that any ...um...smackdown you might feel I deserve be delivered via PM?? ;)

That reminds me....


My comments were not 'official.' That is, they weren't offered in the role of moderator---just member to member.

Anything I have to say to you, I'll say in person next weekend.:p;)

[Maxed Out]

ok, i pm'ed CDS to change my user name.....I even gave him 2 choices and let him pick one......we'll see if it works

Good boy. Wise beyond your 16 years!:lol:

[Wazza]

"User is banned" - or, that's how I see it if the requests keep coming through every two hours. :p

Sit back, and relax and happy birthday to you. :)

[Belmondo]

Good job! I'll send a note to CDS myself on your behalf.




And Happy Birthday.

G U L P...

write that one liner down so you can tell me what it was :lol:

BTW. Happy Birthday Maxy....I had misplaced my manners earlier.

[cfpackerfan]

I think a new user name would be MUCH better than a new title. ;)
Happy birthday Maxy.

[Maxed Out]

Happy birthday Maxy.

hahaha......now you tell me:rolleyes::lol:

[Time Thief]

Definitely think the new title is much better and more fitting of a photographer. I will say I do like your sig line! What am I if I worry about all three. I may be having an identity crisis and need a therapist. Well I know I need a therapist just not for that.

im definately the amatuer.....gear is my number one priority

[Belmondo]

Okay...that's more like it.

Welcome to the forum, Maxed Out!!

[Maxed Out]

Welcome to the forum, Maxed Out!!

nice to meet you belmondo:lol:

[timbernet]

Much better username - congrats!

[cfpackerfan]

YAY!! I love the new name!!!

[JAZZ D.P.G.]

Great new name.

Hopefully, with the gear fettish it does not become a description of your credit status :-)
Gear aint cheap, and the stuff pushed here can be financiaLLy crippling!!

Happy Birthday.

[Maxed Out]

in other words, i'll be Maxed Out:lol:

[Woolburr]

The new name beats a title any day...congrats Max...glad you finally made the right move!

[MDJAK]

The title fairy is currently maxed out trying to get his camera to focus.

When and if Canon gets it right, he may bestow titles on deserving disciples who tend the flock.

In the meantime, listen to Belmondo. He is the voice of reason.

Oh, Tom, I will be using the 14 2.8 this week in our nation's capital.

No thanks to you. ;)
me

[3Turner]

Well....I'm not here for a day and a half looking for a new vehicle and Maxy gets no title but a new user name! Well, congrats on the new name Max. Oh yeah, Happy belated birthday....Is your mom gonna let you cross the street now? :lol:

[Belmondo]

The title fairy is currently maxed out

Do you mean to suggest that TF and Maxed Out are one in the same? That would certainly be a clever ruse, wouldn't it?

Somehow, I thought the Title Fairy was older, but he/she is very clever, and might have deceived us all.

How did it go with the 14L?

um.....what would make you say that.....:oops::oops::oops: *looks the other way* *palms sweating*

[JWright]

Hey Max,

You keep asking for a title and you'll never get one. As grumpy and obnoxious as I've been on the forums, I still don't have one...

[LucyRoberts]

Hey Max,

I think "grumpy and obnoxious" would be the perfect title for you.

++++++++1:lol:

We'll see... If I get it, fine. If not, maybe sometime... If I do get it I'll never be able to change my avatar again...

Didn't stop Grace from changing hers . . .

Don't worry, I'm sure people will understand, avatar or not. ;)

Well, I guess the Title Fairy agrees with you...

[Maureen Souza]

Wow... glad to see the name change;) Now i didn't have anything to do with that,
did I? ;)

[timbernet]

Well, I guess the Title Fairy agrees with you...

:-) Nice title!

[LucyRoberts]

Well, I guess the Title Fairy agrees with you...

Title Fairy is a very wise entity. ;)
