Is it possible to progess beyond the 'Almost Not a Noob' title?

    I find it really annoying, especially for users that have been here forever. Come on, I registered over SEVEN years ago, noob? I think not. It's a small thing but it's annoying. I get you can change it with Insider, but that's not the point. We should have defaults to choose from or have the option to have no title.

    I believe you can get enough "points" if you have 50k or use MyIGN a little to get the title beyond "Almost Not a Noob"


    And I've been here for 7 years as well, only I also lost my adopter010 account

    So really, small potatoes in the grand scheme of things

    MyIGN refused to register that it existed, and so when the systems were linked it went to the legacyAccount thing

    You have to either buy prime or get lucky and post in that thread next time he makes one.

    I'm very happy I finally got a title.

    Nobody gives a crap about your title nor does anyone even look at it.

    I'm surprised more people don't have actual titles. Wasn't, like, everybody an insider back when they did the first big change?

    The price of insider has changed and the main benefits are free. Back in the day you got an icon, and could use HTML, and could post on special access boards. So basically if you didn't have insider you got no icon, and couldn't quote/post links/change font colors/post pictures/etc.


    EDIT - In conclusion, most people don't see Prime as worth it.

    Titles are overrated. But yeah it would be nice to have further options. It's like they started on them and then gave up

    Having a Prime subscription is actually worthwhile if you're a PC gamer since they give free "indie" games every month, plus you have like a 20% permanent discount at gamersgate.

    Cellphones are required to be turned off while browsing the boards. No more warnings.
