I maybe the only one this is bothering but why do so many people on these boards still have "New user" in their description. Even some people that have been here since 2008 still have that right under their name

I say we do something creative with that space, at least let's replace it with "Old user" for shits and giggles or take an example from: PoSSeSSeDCoW that has "Moove on over" written underneath his name, which I personally think is hilarious

I'll personally change mine after morrowind gets added: What do you think? :)

I think the whole subject not worth a new topic.

I think a lot of people think it changes automatically. They create their account, see it says "New user" and conclude that it's probably tied to your post count or something, the way it is on lots of other forums.
If the first thing that everybody does is change the title and upload an avatar, there is a certain amount of individuality by leaving everything at default. Just like that one guy in my 40-man platoon (German conscription ftw -_-) who was the only one who actually used the awful pajamas and underwear provided by the army while all the others brought their own stuff. It also helps that I just don't care, like a lot of others, I guess.

Indeed, there's also one of us (I forgot the name) that instead has a slightly edited version of the original avatar (a monocle was added)... or had, they may have changed it again.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......................!
I am against forum titles and post counts because people start thinking them as `points' to gain.
But after few weeks (time, not post count) the `New users' default title should disappear.
I just haven't thought of anything to put there :P

EDIT: And I haven't drawn my avatar yet.

Heroin is bad for you.

But I guess since you used, you're fucked. I grieve for you.
