I dont like that "Headphoneus Supremus" tag under my ID.
It has nothing to do with listening experience, Its just a post-count tag.
Can I remove it?

Sure, just PM Jude a couple times a day, you'll either get it changed or be banned. Either way you won't have to worry about it anymore!

I'm sure that Jude will grant your wish, but in my view although the title is "granted" for longevity, it's also one of the friendly (or "cute") things about this site. Yet, it still surprises me when people try to attribute anything at all meaningful to the title. It was never intended to be a measure of knowledge, experience, or the quality of one's contributions to the discussion forums. We all know this, but perhaps because of the connotation of "Supremous" we lose sight of the fact that head-fi is nothing more than a nice, pleasant, diversion from the more important things in our lives. It's kind of a social club, and for those who hang around long enough to become recognizable, no matter how little of substance they may have contributed, the "Supremous" title is really just a comic welcome mat or seat warmer. They could call you "Head-fi Oldtimer" but that wouldn't be as much fun. And besides, your posts are as interesting and informative as anyone else's. At least you didn't collect 1,500 posts in the "Music Game V" thread (or whichever other thread one might want to pick on, no offense to the regulars there). Anyway, to say "I'm not worthy" is kind of silly (in my view) because the title itself isn't intended to mean anything to begin with!

He was thinking- Those pitiful losers……. Then he saw his new Title and realized he was one of us?

It’s too late your doomed. When you apply for a job you’ll link your Head-Fi feedback to your resume.

I kinda wish I didn't have my supremeus title . . . cause (a) it says I spend too much time here (b) people expect me to know stuff. Which I don't. And (c) like half the active board has the same thing, and that pretty much makes it uncool!

Although, it does match my avatar quite well. Subtley.
