VOTE! New Member Titles

[Michelle]

Hey everyone!

So Frank and I and some members would love to have custom member titles instead of junior member, member, senior member.

I'm thinking maybe 5 levels would be good?

Love/LDR related titles would be awesome! Frank wanted the first level to be "Lurker" haha, but I won't do that to you guys.

If you could pick, what would you want the level titles to be?

Post your list here 1-5.

1 being the lowest level and 5 the highest. Frank and I will look them over and pick and choose!

Feel free to modify each others list and borrow titles to create what you think would be the perfect levels.

1. Postage Stamp (A very important thing in an Long Distance Relationship).
2. Ribbon and Bow (As in the ribbon from the Love Letter Satchels and a bow on gifts).
3. Plane Ticket (Some LDR's use these to see each other).
4. Scrapbook (As in memories of being on the forum but also in their other half's lives).
5. Fantasy Dream (As in dreaming of the future).

Lurker? HELL YEAH!

Hmm...

1) Achtland (Celtic goddess of wanton love)
2) Aedos (Roman god of modesty)
3) Ame No-Uzume (Japanese fertility goddess)
4) Ezli (Fon goddess of beauty and love)
5) Isis (Egyptian goddess of Fertility/Marital/Devotion/Motherhood)

Lurker! Love that suggestion, Frank!

Hmmm, I've got a few ideas for this... This is my first one, I'll get back to with the rest

1. Single
2. (Has a) Partner / In a relationship etc
3. Living in sin / Co-habiting with a loved one - along those lines
4. Engaged
5. Married

Edit: Never mind lol

[Gurl]

Totally loving the lurker for the lowest level!!

hrm...
1. lurker
2. coming out of the closet
3. chilling in the light of the forum day
4. chatting up a storm
5. posts more often than they change their unders.....

just a thought... will try and come up with something a little better soon!

5. Married

I was thinking about something along those lines, but this is what I came up with:
1. Crush
2. First Date
3. Going Steady
4. Newlywed
5. I couldn't think of how to decently word this one.

[Andy]

Another idea I have is famous couples! I think this could work pretty well, I mean you could take any 5 from here:

Brad & Angelina
Romeo & Juliet
Adam & Eve
Barbie & Ken
Homer & Marge
Fred & Wilma
Catherine & Heathcliff
John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Napoleon & Josephine
Antony & Cleopatra
Barack & Michelle

You could go on and on... maybe even start with a couple who famously broke up as the first level or 2! With this idea you might even want to have more than 5 levels?

Mine would be:

1. Barbie & Ken
2. Homer & Marge
3. Adam & Eve
4. Brad & Angelina
5. Romeo & Juliet

I really like them

How about something like "Happily ever after" or "living happily ever after" for your number 5?


Edit: My last idea was something like this:

1. Casanova
2. Romeo
3. St Valentine
4. Eros
5. Cupid

[Michelle]

Haha, well maybe a lurker could be 5-10 posts or under?

[Andy]

Definitely

Under 10 posts sounds good to me

[Gurl]

Mine would be:

1. Barbie & Ken
2. Homer & Marge
3. Adam & Eve
4. Brad & Angelina
5. Romeo & Juliet

I think the fictional ones are good... but using real life celebrity couples I am not so keen on.. I dislike brangelina...and fictional characters tend to not invoke as strong of a dislike as real life people I think (though I could be wrong LOL)

Oh..and the problem I see with using deities and the like are that, unless you use pairs (the ones who were coupled together as a part of their identities), then you end up with all male, all female...and so on and so forth. Not sure if anyone here would have a problem with the levels they are on being a different gender than they are but twas a thought I had *shrugs*

[William'sLittleLove]

I like these suggestions. =DD Especially Jackie's. Those are really good. ^_^

[Rach321]

I was thinking along the lines of "stages of a relationship" that have been proposed. I really like Jackie's ideas:

1. Crush
2. First Date
3. Going Steady
4. Newlywed
5. I couldn't think of how to decently word this one.

With "happily ever after" as level 5.

Those ARE cool... maybe we could start with Lurker for those with less than 10 posts and make it a 6 level thing?

[Frank]

This thread is awesome. Some of the suggestions had me laughing out loud. Quick thought about Andy's celeb idea... Supposedly 'brangelina' is breaking up? So they would be knocked down to one hahah

The thing about lurker is that it can be taken in a bad connotation to someone who just signs on.
The same goes for other ideas. You don't want a brand new member to be called something that would slight them.
on that note...
1)Genius, handsome, and cool
