Are you paying Stan Lee for this or is it the other way around?
C'mon, curmudgeon is our own term. CCF was originally known as the Curmudgeonly Curmudgeon Forum.

Old Curmudgeon was my goal! Make it so our imperious leading #1 Curmudgeon. And why not go with Friendly Neighborhood Curmudgeon?  And when did us curmudgeons start caring what the young punks think? Photon torpedo them all if they don't get the humor of it all. We are cranky and irritable and lived our lives anticipating the wearing of our mudgeon badge proudly and letting others bask in our cur-liness!!!! |

And why not go with Friendly Neighborhood Curmudgeon? That's brilliant, actually. But the concern remains that some of our newer users won't understand the humor or might find the ranking a sort of demotion. So I've removed the expiration date for making a request -- anyone over 1,000 posts can ask to be made an Old Curmudgeon at any time. No limitations. I don't want to take anything away from folks who already enjoy the rank, but I don't want to discourage or alienate those newer to our community who don't see themselves as curmudgeons and don't see anything positive about being seen as a curmudgeon either. I think this is a pretty fair way to balance those two interests. |

Oddly enough this morning when seeing the Friendly Neighborhood Regular tagline on the board i was reading it as Friendly Neighborhood Irregular. Maybe i need more bran and fiber in me diet eh?!? Still think it looks odd not seeing curmudgeon beside your name Shaxper  |

Still think it looks odd not seeing curmudgeon beside your name Shaxper I haven't been a "Curmudgeon" for ages now. If I lost the "Site Custodian" title, I'd revert to "The Power Cosmic!" due to my post number. |

My oops Shax. Brain fried and tired are not a splendid combo in the middle of the week. Looove these long week days during the holiday season. Caffeine intravenously please on fast drip, thank you very much.

Caffeine intravenously please on fast drip, thank you very much. No worries. I prefer to be seen as a "Curmudgeon" myself, or at least a Friendly Neighborhood Regular. I wear the badge just so folks can find me if they need me. |

I'm approaching 10,000 posts and I would like a new rank and since The Power Cosmic! is referring to the Silver Surfer ... I would like to go from 8 Yellow Stars to 9 Yellow Stars and call myself ... Drum Roll Please! {10,000 Post Rank Title}Devourer of Worlds Referring you know who! |

The Old Curmudgeon custom title is being offered because some members don't want to lose what was already offered to them. |

I rather stick with the The Power Cosmic! ... to be frank here and wasn't a fan of the Old Curmudgeon Rank when a member here reach 1,000 posts. |

I'm already a curmudgeon, despite my lack of posting.  I'm far off, but was looking forward to it. |

Somehow, I struggle to see you--one of the friendliest people I know in the world wide web--as a curmudgeon, but if you want the label, it will be yours when you hit the post count. Just drop me a line and remind me  |
