Other suggestions:

Fearless Feline
Forgotten Feline
Frazzled Feline

Just some thoughts.....

Not that I think that I will be rewarded with a personal title within years (considering my post frequency and quality), but I'm a bit curious. Is there an actual limit in post number that you have to pass? And when have you that's been rewarded gotten your title? What's the "record", both in time on The Downs and in posts, for someone to get a title? I really envy you all!

And Valier, just some thoughts... How about:
Fallen Feline (dark and foreboding, like it should be on the downs )
Furry Feline (a bit cuter, as are the next)
Friendly Feline
Frantic Feline
Former Feline (again, a connection to our undead society)
Feared Feline
Forsaken Feline
The possibilities are endless!

If I ever get one, I'd like to connect my title to something balrog-ish. Something about shadow or flame maybe... How about Shadowed Silhouette? Or maybe Soaring Shadow, because they can soar, can't they? What do you think? (NOT if they can soar or not, but tips for a title...)

Bethberry made some pretty good sugestions when I talked with her last night.

Frolicking Feline was one of them.

I think it that context it might be spelled "Frolicking". I'd check.

And Gothmog:

500 posts minimum, and then titles are awarded at the discretion of the admins and mods...you'll get a PM.

As for records...
Well for time on the 'Downs I've got to be up there, but I've also heard mormegil was quite a contender. As for posts, I have no idea.

There are details in a sticky on the subject somewhere.

Well, usually a member has to reach the status of Ghost Prince, which I believe is 500 posts, before being eligible for a PT. In my years at the Downs, I have seen a few exceptions for very highly respected members who are extremely outstanding in quality of posts rather than quantity, but that is rare.

My first year on the BD, I was a very active member and managed to get to 500 posts within the year. If I remember correctly, it was a couple weeks after my first deathday (June 2003) I was offered a PT. I believe I had around 600 posts at the time.

Even though you need to get to 500 posts (with the rare exceptions) to even be considered, it really isn't quantity that matters. I've seen members with over 2,000 posts who didn't yet have a PT....

Yes, I've read the sticky and I knew that it was up to the admins and mods, and that it is quality that matters. But I didn't know about the 500 post rule (or maybe rather policy?). Thanks for the information! Now I have to go and write a few hundred, great, high quality posts and spread them around this place!

(EDIT: I searched the Members List a while and found people with PT with less then 300 posts, and not few with less then 400... Exceptions?)
