How about these titles for a specific milestone?

[icecream]

Forum Junkie still exists, I just saw TMC with that title. There probably aren't a lot of posters in the 35,000-49,999 range that qualify for it.

Yeah, TJ just upgraded the titles.

Oops. I thought that Forum Junkie didn't exist anymore.

Cool updates, thanks TJ!

It didn’t, until TJ upgraded the titles last night.

I received a complaint about the user ranks Forum Addict and Forum Junkie. Apparently those are horrible and offensive, even though I think at least one or both of them were part of the default system. I guess you can't please everyone sometimes.

If you are called a TV Addict or a Food Junkie, is that offensive? Addict and Junkie aren't meant to be drug related. They weren't meant to be funny.

Does anyone have any suggestions for replacements? Should they just be eliminated?

I had revised the list a little bit.

I personally had no problem with the titles and I don’t get how someone could get so offended. Anyways, if you decided to change them, I think these would be good rankings:

Forum Warrior
Lifetime Member

[TJ]

Warrior could be offensive since they changed the Cleveland Indians name. I know there's a site called Warrior Forum.

The name Junkie can't be offensive to everybody. There are 31 registered accounts with Junkie in it.

Here's the complaint:

Hi TJ. I don't think I've had a complaint about anything on this website since I've joined, BUT I have to say these names that you have given, according to the number of posts you have, I think they are horrible,
Forum ADDICT?, Forum JUNKIE?. I don't think they are funny at all! Out of all the names you could have chosen, why those?? I don't know what everybody else thinks, but I'm surprised at YOU! I surprised that you thought this was okay! I'm not mad, just disappointed.

[JamesG]

I wouldn’t change anything just because some snowflake complained about it.

I agree.

Although I tried to word it more, let’s say “nice”.

[TJ]

I'm keeping Forum Addict and Forum Junkie, but I moved them to a higher tier. Hopefully no one will be offended by Addict or Junkie if you have over 65,000 posts.
