I like my title, Im honored really, Im just so anal that it irks me everytime I look at it because the wonderful TF didnt capitalize the L. lol Im sick arent I? But I am far too scared to ask for a change! Might end up with a very bad title. And thats just no good!

That might still happen . . . Remember that when you wake up to see yourself tagged as "just no good" or "far too scared".

I wonder if the TF would let people start threads to vote for titles for others.

For example, all of the polls could start 'TITLE POLL DANCING :: [member name]'

Others are to fill in the next line.

I say "Once upon a time, in an enchanted forum forest......."

and then someone who knows adds something.

"There lived a beautiful woman, whose only wish was to be immortalized as the master of fate. A photographer happened by, Jake as legend has it, and took her photo. To this day, it is the only known image of the creature known today as the Title Fairy..."

IMAGE: http://midnightblue.smugmug.com/Family/Administrative-Watermarks-Etc/Title-Fairy-04c2/561595267_fAkZY-L.jpg

Jake asked the creature "Oh great Fairy, what is it that you would do should you be loosened upon the membership of POTN?"

"I would bestow upon the mortals constantly changing names, but only when I deem appropriate, and never when asked" she professed.

"And what becomes of those who try to become you?"

"Many have tried" she responded with a wink.

"Tried and failed?"

'Tried and died, Jake. Their titles are forever cursed."

[Narrator]
...in the standard year 5224, on the 30th day of Ceaser's calendar, ill-fated POTN members attempted to invent a means to call down the wrath of the TF.... the heathen symbol, shown below, only angered the great mythical creature more, causing unwelcome yet hilarious titles to become commonplace on POTN....

IMAGE: http://midnightblue.smugmug.com/Family/Administrative-Watermarks-Etc/TFsignal/553929838_mvXne-L.jpg

[Narrator]
...during the ensuing chaos, several attempts to unmask the true identity of the TF resulted, including a feeble attempt on a well-known social time-wasting website called, oddly enough, "FaceBook"..

https://www.facebook.c​om/pages/POTN-TF/192289730802732 (external link)

...and although the 'FB' did in fact turn into the #1 web search hit for 'POTN TF' never did she appear.

...

Are you by any chance a fan of the original Dune movie?

TF looks kind of sexy. A typical tactic used by a nymph. And they usually have an ulterior motive.

Is there a link where we can see what names she has changed (in chronological order)? Would make for a fun read.

^^ Yeah, where else do you get "Tried and failed?" to "Tried and died."

As for a link, there's a thread around somewhere 'show us how you got your title' which is about as close as it could come.

Like a crime victims' support forum.

:D I loved that movie.

I will have to go take a look.

It's all in the name of fun. Can't be that bad. Well....except for mokofoko.

By the way, the poll vote count has changed. Downward. I wonder if the TF just reduces it for every one person she hits that said yes. If that is true, she's hit 14 people, except for you, since you took a snapshot of the results.

But, long before Sam discovered the forum...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but lots o' titles (including my own) were bestowed upon us members long before December 15, 2006, when you joined this little forum... ;)

Yes, of course.

I think the Title Fairy originated some 3,500 years ago when she started writing things on the walls of Egyptian tombs.

The TF is a very, very well protected beast here. Even a friend who is a MOD here swears he does not know what/who it is.
