Thank you very much.

Ok, I know I've heard this before, but could someone please refresh my memory. I am currently 'Shade of Carn Dûm' and I know I still have to be 'Ghost Prince of Cardolan' (at least) before I'll get to have my own title. But how and when do you get to have your own unique title?

"Don't call us, we'll call you."

A personal title is not a right, it's a privilege that is offered by the Barrow-Wight. There's nothing automatic about the offer; when he feels that it's time to honour those who have posted not only quantity (i.e. numerous posts), but also quality (worthwhile contributions), he will contact those who are entitled to choose a personal title.

Not sure exactly where to post this, but...

Just now, I tried to go to the main page/forum index/whatever and found myself staring at a blank screen with these words on it:

Quote:

I don't know what this means or what is going on here. All other pages seem to be working alright, though.

EDIT: When I try to get there by clicking on a link, it just gives me a "page not found" thing.

Yeah, Meneltarmacil, that happened to me, too! I had to get in by clicking on a PM that was in my e-mail. It's working normally now, but that was kinda scary. I was like, uh-oh, no Barrowdowns.

Bear in mind that in the rare case of a hack such as this, it's always only temporary. That's what backups are for, no cause for panic.

I have noticed that some days the ‘Active Topics’ list can be a few pages long, and at other times it is quite brief. Putting it down to a slow day, I haven’t thought much about it. Now I am not so sure. This morning only one thread was listed when I checked, but I know that more than that had been posted on as I received email notices. Does anyone know what criteria the program is looking at? It is beginning to take on a magical, or at least arbitrary, aspect in my mind.
