I love custom titles. It pains me their implementation sucks.
I'm literally sitting in Montreal, buzzed from having two after-work beers with my boss and talking about all the awesome shit we're working on for Vanilla. You don't even know.
hum, Montreal (river) Michigan, or, you know, Montréal. if later, why in heaven's and/or death of consciousness and roting in the ground's name didn't you try to get a hold of me
@CyrixInstead Check out the badges list and request the ones you deserve Reactions also get you points.
I guess I need more reactions. Quick question though, what's the difference between the the points in my profile and the points on the badges page? I have 122 points on the badges page but 72 in my profile.
Once upon a time there was a site named Icrontic. It had a little developer who tried to do special things for his community like give it the newest and shiniest toys. Except sometimes it's long, storied history liked to smack him around a little.
One day, he tried to upgrade their Editor to the newest and shiniest. He discovered it broke all their emoticons (even worse than they already were). Because they had an all-custom set of emoticons, he couldn't just upgrade. Nope. He had to re-code every emoticon manually, including every variation ever used in eleven years. Did you know just the first 5 basic emoticons have accumulated over 20 aliases? How exciting! He'd never used the brand-new Emoji system - not many folks had - and so then he managed to find two giant bugs in it as soon as he started tinkering and had to stop for his pull requests to be approved.
Then he wanted to upgrade the core product, but realized the Markdown change where a line break is a line break was rolled back because it broke some other things, and the fix for it was sort of ready but needed to be tested a lot more, meaning a lot of branching and preparation just to do that without adding a regressive bug or 10.

\Edit - I have 73 points, how do I get more?
A boardgame and a cardgame are still a game.

Dear @linc, please to make it so we can lulz, awesomesauce, and helpful the same post.
Can you imagine what @TiberiusLazarus and @pragtastic would do if they were unlimited by 1 reaction per post?
Talk about writing bots to flood the reaction system a few times and suddenly you're branded for life.
