Yeah, but he got a custom title. Much harder to achieve and requires something that sets one apart.

Slacker,

what it really means is you were too cheap to pony up $15 to support a site you use to fill your existance with meaning. If it weren't for headfi, who would you blather on endlessly to about headphones you claim to not even want?

Congrats on the title anyway, you earned it the old fashioned way, you're a post count whore.

Mr. Slacker,
Congrats on being a Headphone Supremus, but the title means nothing to me. I envy those who earn a custom title. Get yourself a Sennheiser HD-580 man!

That title was hard won! I dived right into the muck of the amp wars and separated the two camps into chocolate and vanilla! That ain't easy you know! In fact, it was a Rocky Road! *

not quite. since you are a contributor, jude or whoever has to manually update your title to say supremus (something to do w/ the vB code). If you are not a contributor, it updates automatically. In other words, if you PM jude and say you have more than 1500 posts, he'll change your title to supremus

I think that most of the custom titles were given back when Head-Fi was fairly small and with a relatively easily identifiable group of members who posted a lot, or had niche interest or "expertise". Some of them still post - some not since years back.

The only one, who can type in a custom title for somebody, has I think, much more important things on his mind than thinking of witty titles. Like the continuity of this site.

Never made Headphoneus Supremus, never worried about it.

That was until you made this thread, Master Slacker! You've made Headphoneus Supremus and I haven't? How can this be?! Curse you!!!

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!!!!

May you lose all your teeth but one and in that one you get a toothache!!!

Enjoy your new found respect. See if I care.
