Boba Fett

[COLOR=green]Abob and Tarlain are about to walk away when Kain puts his hand on Tarlain's shoulder. Kain: "One more thing. Something here doesn't feel right. I was tracking you two through the force, and then you disappeared. How did you do that?" Abob: "Maybe later. I have to go arrange my hologram recordings in alphabetical order by the third letter of the production company's name." Kain grips Abob's shoulder harder, and looks Abob in the eye. Kain: "What happened?" Abob raises his wrist and points the rocket that is loaded with deadly nerve gas at Kain's neck. Kain lets go of Abob and begins to walk away. Kain: "If you ever want to tell me, you know where to find me..." Tarlain: "Sometimes I wish he would try and use his pathetic force on me, just to see the look of surprise on his face when he fails." Abob: "That would be interesting, but he would most likely just hurt you by changing your surroundings, which will be affected by the force." Tarlain rolls her eyes and then they walk into the docking bay, heading for the [I]Idiot's Array[/I]...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]I just spent ten minutes rereading the beginning posts of this thread. I was such a typical newbie... :blush: I am planning on playing Star Wars Galaxies, and from what I have heard the Beta testing went really well. I can't remember the exact release date, but whenever it comes out, I'll start playing...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]OOC: Just a note Mos Eisley is not a planet; it is a city on Tatooine. Also a quick question, when in the New Jedi Order series does this take place? I know it is before Coruscant was taken by the Yuuzan Vong, but how far before? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abob lands his X-Wing in the newly constructed hangar inside the rebuilt Jedi temple. Beside his ship and A-Wing has landed, and a young man walks out, heading for Abob. The older Jedi smiles, his Padawan was an ideal student. Smart, focused, strong and with a twisted sense of humor almost as strange as his own. He stopped and waited for the younger man to catch up, and then they proceeded into the Temple walking side by side. They took a turbolift up to the Jedi council chambers and then walked across the lobby into the circular room where the Jedi masters were meeting. The master and Apprentice walk into the center of the chamber, and bow to the senior member of the Council, Luke Skywalker. Luke: "What have you to report about the Yuuzan Vong?" Abob: "Our investigation into their attempted alliance with some of the fringe smuggling groups similar to the Peace brigade have met with failure Master. With a little help from us..." Luke: "Good. I have also heard you have changed your lightsaber style to style two. Is this true?" Abob: "Yes Master." Luke: "Style two was developed during the Sith wars for fighting with opponents who used lightsabers. It isn't very effective against blaster bolts. Do you think this is a wise move? Some here think you are starting to stray from the true path..." Abob: "The Dark side is not my way. I chose style two to help me fight Vong warriors, as their snake-like staffs are not destroyed by lightsabers. I have had many a duel with them." Luke: "Very well, but you know that if anyone else sees signs of more aggressive behavior from you, your Padawan will be reassigned." Lark: "No. I will not serve any other master. I will leave the Jedi if I am reassigned." Luke: "You both may go." The master and his apprentice leave the chamber, talking softly to each other...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob sits alone in the middle of the circle of the sleeping fellowship members, keeping a silent watch over the camp. He can't seem to sleep, the mysterious evil they were facing weighing heavily on his tired mind. How could something the evil exist? If it was worse than Bahamut and the Void, then how could it possibly be defeated? If they did defeat it, then would the cycle of new threats and new quests continue until they all were dead? It was almost too much. Part of him wanted to leave, run away from these problems and back to the mountains on the island where he had spent ten years grieving for his family. The only thing that kept him here was his friends. Over their years of fighting together their fighting styles had become so integrated and reliant on each other that they were nearly unstoppable. But if one of them were to die or leave, then it would make things very difficult for everyone else. Even the simple battles would become complicated. Abob put the thoughts of evil and escape in the back of his mind a gazed into the forest that surrounded them. He had a feeling that nothing was going to happen to them tonight. The battle had destroyed almost all of the enemies' forces in the area. They would have a day's head start, maybe two. Then it would be a struggle to keep ahead of pursuing forces until they reached their goal. Suddenly he noticed something moving above the tree line. Far off in the distance, almost too far away to see was a long line of pin head sized lights. They were moving over a distant mountain range, and heading straight for their encampment. Only Orcs would be stupid enough to light torches for a secret night march. The enemy force was still a few days journey away, but they would need to decide whether or not they were going to allow the Orcs to get closer while they slept. Abob got up and walked over to Lalaith, the shook his friend awake... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob sat in his bed wearing his black pajamas. His spoke softly to his bright red quill, which neatly wrote out the Transfiguration homework it, was being dictated. It was getting late, almost ten o'clock. His homework was almost done, but he needed to keep up his good marks if he hoped to become head boy. It would be wonderful to be able to take house points from ignorant Gryffindor first years, and see the looks of horror on their faces... He said some final word to his pen, and then used his wand to send both pen and parchment flying into his school bag. He reached over to his neat nightstand and blew out the magical candle which gave light to the whole room. Then he rolled over and went to sleep, dreaming about himself becoming the next heir to Slytherin...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]The forbidden forest is pitch black at night, and not a place that anyone in their right mind would go after dark. Werewolves, giant spiders, mysterious Centaurs and even Vampires are rumored to live in the forest. It is one of the few forests left in England that hasn't been penetrated by Muggles because of its relative closeness to Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. On this particular fall night only two wizards are in the forest, Voldemort and his faithful servant Wormtail... Wormtail: "Me, kill Alex McNeill? You must be joking, I coul-" Voldemort: "When was the last time I told a joke Wormtail? You must have stolen too much whiskey from the kitchens. You won't have to face him in a duel, a poison or convenient accident will do nicely." Wormtail: "Yes my lord." Voldemort: "There is one more task I must accomplish tonight. Did you leave the parchment on the Slytherin boy's nightstand?" Wormtail: "Yes, it is there." Voldemort: "Excellent, we will need him to help us if our plan is to succeed. My plan to recruit a new group of younger Death Eaters is progressing nicely Wormtail. You will deliver the letters to them [I]personally[/I] tomorrow." Wormtail: "Yes." They approach Voldemort's hideout and enter, eager to get out of the cold...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob and Tarlain walk back towards the docking bay, but Abob walks past the steel blast doors and continues down the corridor. Tarlain: "Where are you going?" Abob: "The weapons locker." Tarlain: "What in the galaxy do you think you're doing?!? You're not supposed to go in there. You will jeopardize our contract with Dooku." Abob: "That will be a major loss. *rolls eyes* I am not employed only by him you know." Tarlain: "Maybe you could care less about a million credits, but I wouldn't mind them." Abob: "Then why are you coming with me?" Tarlain: "To keep you out of trouble." Abob: "Right." They reach the weapons storage locker, and Abob enters a Nemodian pass code. The door slides open and he walks inside, followed closely by Tarlain. The walls are covered in droid recharging stations, and most of the droids in the room are super battle droids. Abob walks to the back of the room, and attaches a small electronic device to large walk in safe. The device hums, then the safe opens. Inside are a dozen crates, each marked with red holo-tags that proclaimed the contents to be "spare parts". Tarlain: "An odd place to store spare parts..." Abob opens one of the crates, and pulls out a battle droid. It looks like a twisted cross between a droideka and a super battle droid. It had a droideka's head and arms, but a super battle droid's torso and legs. It was coated from head to toe in a bronze colored substance. It was also holding a strange blaster rifle which was also coated with the bronze substance. The strangest feature of the droid was a metal cage on its back, inside of which was a large metallic looking salamander. Abob: "Jedi killers. Yalsimiri to block the force and cortosis ore to deactivate lightsabers. Must be worth a fortune." Tarlain: "For the assault on Kamino?" Abob: "No, we'll have to take care of the Jedi down there. Perhaps a commando raid on the Jedi temple or some other Jedi stronghold." Tarlain: "Lets go, I don?t want to be caught here." Abob: "Neither do I. But first I have some thing to do." He pulls out his holographic image disguiser and begins to film the droid that had been taken out of the crate. Barely a minute later they had put the droid back in the crate and left the armory, walking calmly toward the docking bay?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob stands in the middle of the Slytherin common room. Someone must have cast a time spell. They had learned in the fifth year that only a very powerful, highly illegal spell and several closely guarded magical artifacts could stop or turn back time. If a student at the castle had stopped time, then it was a good bet he or she wouldn't have done it with a magical artifact. They were too closely guarded for a student to steal one. A time spell must be simple to cast if a student could cast it. Maybe he should try and find this person and learn the spell from them. After all, if he ever needed to catch up on some sleep... Suddenly he fell to the floor, his body not ready to resume balancing itself after being frozen in place. He quickly got up and brushed dirt from his black robes. Professor Jarlith: "Whoever has done this will be expelled! I will find them immediately." Then a booming voice echoes through the entire castle... Professor Dinuen: "Someone has cast a time spell. Everyone report to your house dormitories. I would ask the person who has caused this serious breach of magical law to report to my office immediately. Abob: "Well professor, am I off your list since you were with me the whole time?" Professor Jarlith: "Of course. I have to go now to round up the other Slytherins. Goodbye Abob." Professor Jarlith runs from the room and Abob sits down on a couch by the fire. Like anyone would turn themselves in for a thing like that. The headmaster was such an idiot...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Matt- They are starting to produce NJO books in trilogies, starting with the force Heretic series. I personally think that the NJO has a long way to go if it wants to be as good as the [B][I]Thrawn Trilogy[/I][/B], or any of the better Star Wars mini series. Juu- I haven't seen the IMAX version of Episode II, I have been very busy with homework for the past two weeks. I have to make some time to go see it. Everyone thinks it was very good... *Grumbles about teachers who assign way too much homework* "Thrawn"- For some reason I think that the Solo/Fett feud is finally stopped in a short story which is part of the "Tales from the New Republic" book. I may be wrong, but I will go look it up when I can find the time... I liked that story, how Han and Fett are standing face to face, and acknowledge that they are both getting too old for that kind of thing. Then they holster their blasters and walk away...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]As the foremost authority on Boba Fett [seeing as I am him...] on this message board, I have decided to clear up boogeta's question. What follows is a chronicle of Boba Fett's activities after his "incident" with the sarlacc. It is from a certain Boba Fett site I frequent?[/COLOR] --------------------------- During Luke Skywalker's rescue of Solo above the great pit of Carkoon, Boba Fett fell into the maw of the Sarlacc. After days of agony he blasted out, barely alive. Fellow hunter Dengar discovered him lying in the sand and saved his life. In return, Fett allowed Dengar to accompany him on a search to untangle a labyrinthine conspiracy orchestrated by wealthy industrialist Kuat of Kuat. For the mission Fett stole the freighter Hound's Tooth from his rival Bossk, leaving Slave I behind on Tatooine. Slave I fell into Alliance hands and rusted in an impound lot on Grakouine. The galaxy at large thought Boba Fett was a half-digested morsel in the Sarlacc's belly, and he used that to his advantage, flying around in the less recognizable Slave II and accepting jobs from only the most discerning clients. When Jodo Kast threatened to blow his cover by encouraging people to believe that he was Boba Fett, Fett ambushed Kast and killed him. Dengar continued to work with Fett, often providing the necessary public face for his silent partner. Those in the business knew how to get in touch with Fett. Others, including Han Solo, had no inkling of his survival. Sarlacc. After days of agony he blasted out, barely alive. Fellow hunter Dengar discovered him lying in the sand and saved his life.

Dengar continued to work with Fett, often providing the necessary public face for his silent partner. Those in the business knew how to get in touch with Fett. Others, including Han Solo, had no inkling of his survival. Eventually Fett bought back Slave I, keeping it in a parking orbit above Nar Shaddaa. After the grotesque attacks of the reborn Emperor, Boba Fett decided to take a new Hutt bounty on his old nemesis Han Solo. Fett and Dengar surprised Solo on the Smugglers' Moon and chased him to the Emperor's throne-world of Byss, where Slave II smashed into the planetary shield. That was the end of Slave II and the termination of the partnership with Dengar. A loner once again, Boba Fett reactivated Slave I and took several jobs for Gorga the Hutt. The influx of cash allowed Fett to set up another ambush for Han Solo. He nearly captured Solo in the darkened undercity of Nar Shaddaa, but Chewbacca tore off his helmet and sent him rocketing into a durasteel girder. Fett recovered and lay in wait near a gas cloud, firing on the Millennium Falcon when it emerged. In response, he received a circuit-melting blast from the Falcon's new "lightning gun." Slave I was then replaced by Slave Ill. Word of Solo's victories over Fett spread far and wide. To erase the stain of failure, Fett accepted a job to kill the insane Imperial overseers of the dungeon ship Azgoghk-which he accomplished for only one hundred credits. But he soon needed many thousands of credits, after replacing Slave Ill with Slave lV and undergoing surgery to prosthetically replace his right leg, weakened years before in his encounter with the Sarlacc. Fortunately, fifteen years after Endor, Fett apprehended the Devaronian war criminal known as the "Butcher of Montellian Serat" and earned a staggering bounty of five million credits. His finances bolstered, he moved to secure his pride. On Jubilar, Fett faced off with Han Solo for a final showdown, but both combatants ultimately decided to drop their long-standing feud and go their separate ways. Boba Fett continued to work the bounty hunting trade as recently as twenty years after Endor. Still flying Slave IV, he took a job for Nolaa Tarkona of the Diversity Alliance to find shipping merchant Bornan Thul. Fett eventually found Thul, discovering what he'd been hiding-the coordinates of a plague storehouse-and then transmitting that data to Tarkona. The Diversity Alliance crumbled in battle with the New Republic, and Fett went on to other jobs for other clients. Since the Yuuzhan Vong invasion Fett hasn't been seen, but not even his most hopeful enemies are willing to count him among the dead. ------------------------------------------------------ [COLOR=green]So in short "Thrawn" was right, Boba is alive and well in the EU. I personally feel that if you don't pay attention to the EU, then you aren't, well, I won't even go there...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Puts on a cold, mechanical and unemotional voice that belongs to Boba Fett* "Unfortunately there are no Gungans left. I had the misfortune to release a biological agent on Naboo that was deadly to Gungans. It wiped them out, such a terrible accident... Jar Jar was on Coruscant on the time, and came back to the planet to attend the funeral of a relative. He died like the rest, his nerves wracking his bloated body with unimaginable pain..." Alright, enough fantasizing about Jar Jar and his gruesome death. Who here thinks that Darth Sidous and Palpitine are [I]not[/I] one and the same? [/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Voldemort walks several km into the forbidden forest before he pulls off his invisibility cloak, and releases the rat. There is a flash of yellow light, and the rat begins to swell. It grows to the size of a small man, then stops. Its tail disappears, as do its whiskers. Its fur sheds, to reveal a black wizards robe. Finally the man looks up at Voldemort, a look of terror in his beady eyes. Wormtail: "Master, our plan is in motion, but we have a problem." Voldemort: "I hope it isn?t your fault Wormtail, otherwise I will have to find a new assistant?" Wormtail: "No, no it isn?t my fault my lord! Mc Neill has returned to the castle to act as the new defense against the dark arts teacher." Voldemort: "I thought he was dead. Never mind, our plan will only have to be slightly modified to account for his meddlesome qualities." Wormtail: "How so? I am ever so tired and perhaps another Death Eater could d-" Voldemort: "You will kill Alex. In time?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob dives through a blown out window of the house, which he John and Tom had only thirty seconds before been walking past, and is quickly followed by his comrades. The German motorcycle has made its full turn and comes back towards the house, the machine gunner in its sidecar pouring bullets into the brick front of the building. It goes past the house, and begins turning, preparing to come back for another pass. John and Tom reach outside the window and grab the machine gun, then quickly set it up and wait for the motorcycle to come back into view. Abob moves across the house to another window, and aims his sniper rifle at the street corner. The Kraut cycle should be here any minute now? Suddenly the cycle roared around the corner, its machine gun firing. Abob takes aim and fires, killing the driver with a head shot. Then the cycle explodes, as John and Tom finish it off with the machine gun. Abob: "Nicely done. Now let's get moving." They reload their weapons, and are about to leave the house when a squad of Germans begins to advance down the street. Tom: "They don?t even see us. Morons?" Abob: "I'll shoot the sergeant, and then you two can finish off the rest." John: "We're ready when you are." Abob walks up the stairs of the house, and into the master bedroom, which overlooks the street. He takes a look around, and spots a small window in the bathroom. He sets up his rifle, and looks through the scope at the German sergeant. The Kraut is leading his men down the street cautiously, his pistol raised. Abob fires and the German sergeant falls to the ground, dead. The other Germans look up, and Tom and John begin firing the machine gun. Abob reloads his weapon, and takes aim?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob walks into the cafeteria onboard the Trade Federation Warship, and sits down on the left side of the oval table. Tarlain sits to his left. Several small droids pop out of their sockets on the walls and take their orders, then fly into the kitchen to prepare their breakfast. Abob: "They had better be quick; I don?t want to be late for the meeting." Tarlain: "You can be so stupid sometimes. You're always early, so you can wait for the others who will be late. Some people have way too much free time." Abob: "Better to be early than late, lest you miss something important." Tarlain: "Looks like we won't have to worry about tardiness?" [I]Count Dooku walks in, followed by Kain and his Wookie companion. Dooku takes a seat at the head of the table, while Kain and his friend sit across from Tarlain and Abob.[/I] Dooku: "It looks like we'll be holding the meeting in here; the briefing room is currently occupied." Kain: "Get on with it." Dooku: "I see you people are curious about your upcoming mission. Very well, here is our plan. We have captured a Republic supply ship en route to Kamino. You will fly it to the planet, and duck below the shields right before the attack. There shouldn?t be much trouble with customs, since it is a secure military base, and you are a Republic ship. Just in case we have loaded forty droidekas to deal with any customs and to guard the ship wile you knock out the generator." Tarlain: "Aren't Republic supply ships unarmed?" Dooku: "Yes, but you see th-" Abob: "I want my ship stored in the docking bay. If someone attacks us during out escape from the planet?" Dooku: "Fine, but any vessels must remain powered down on your way in so as not to register on the planet's sensors." Kain: "When do we start?" Dooku: "In thirty six hours you will launch in the supply ship. That?s all, meeting adjourned?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]In my close circle of friends, we greet each other with the Vulcan "Live long and prosper." accompanied by the appropriate hand movement. When we are splitting up, we say "May the force be with you." Can you say "Sci-Fi Nuts!"??[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob stands in his house common room, impatiently waiting for his pumpkin juice. Abob *muttering*: "Stupid elf. Extra punishments tonight..." He freezes as Professor Jarlith walks into the common room, an amused expression on his scarred and seemingly mutilated face. Professor Jarlith: "We've had a mysterious infestation of snakes in the castle Abob. Such a pity they have to be removed. You should have seen the look on the Hufflepuff's faces..." Abob: "The other teachers, have they managed to solve our little infestation problem?" Professor Jarlith: "No, a few pesky Griffindors have driven our crawling friends into the forbidden forest." Abob: "They aren't allowed into the forbidden forest, perhaps detentions are in order." Professor Jarlith: "My thoughts exactly. By the way, did you have something to do with this?" Abob: "Yes sir." Professor Jarlith: "I thought as much. Well, I'm off to give those Griffindors detentions..." Abob tries to say goodbye, but his mouth wont move. He is frozen. He can only think. He is looking straight ahead, at Professor Jarlith's wrist watch, which has stopped... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Syntax, we need not... I think that Yoda's speech pattern (If you can call it that) gives him character. It seems to help him appear older, wiser and somehow more respectable. Jar Jar on the other hand talks like he is talking to a baby. He repeats words for emphasis, and sounds very annoying. I bet money he was added so that younger children would like the movie more. Pity it made the rest of us puke...[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mist [/i] [B][color=crimson][size=1] I'm pretty sure a lot of you already know, but I have just went through a pretty hard move with my family. I know it seems stupid, but I'm not very good at introducing myself and making friends, so if any of you had any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks![/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=green]I know the feeling. My father is in the US Navy, and we have moved a total of eight times since I was born. It takes me a long time to make friends, because I am very shy, kind of a loner. I don't know what advice to give you, other than to be yourself. I talk about Star Wars and Star Trek at school, and my friends accept that. Be yourself, and you will make true friends. The main thing that has helped me through the last several moves (another one is coming up at the end of the school year) is OtakuBoards. Wherever I am, I will always have my friends here. Hope this helped, -Boba Fett[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mitth'raw'nuruodo [/i] [B]Hey Boba, have you read his Conquerors Trilogy? I mean, with the first chapter of Conquerors Pride, I knew I was going to love it. And right now I got to about chapter 10, and it is awesome. If you havent read them, I suggest you go and read, if the rest of the book and books as good as the first few chapters of the first book, Im sure you will like them.

[COLOR=green]Abob awakens the next morning and checks his chrono. 0800 hours, excellent. He dresses in his pilot's jumpsuit and snaps on his wrist rocket and attached his holographic image disguiser to his belt. He swings his sniper rifle over his shoulder, and then walks out of his stateroom into the cockpit. He finds Tarlain sleeping in the co-pilots chair, asleep. Abob: "Tarlain, wake up. We need to eat before the meeting." Tarlain wakes up instantly at the sound of his monotone, emotionless voice and straightens her robe. Tarlain: "Let's go then." Abob and Tarlain climb out the hatch and walk across the docking bay. There is another ship parked there, another very familiar ship. Its id code registers as the [I]Scorpion's Den[/I], and a scan reveals no life signs aboard. Abob notices a small freighter being loaded with droidekas on the opposite side of the docking bay. They walk out of the docking bay and into the spartan halls of the Nemodian vessel, heading towards the mess hall. It seems like the ship is preparing for war. Only its emergency lights are functioning, probably to conserve power for the shields. No droids are cleaning, so that they won't have to be charged and use up more power. They were definitely expecting a major battle in less than forty eight hours. He had a hunch that they would definitely find out the specifics of the mission today, and might even start the mission today. But first they would have to eat...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Abob sits in his house dormitory, eating food brought down to him by his house elf. He smiled as he thought of the chaos his snakes had created. He had worked on this scheme all summer, enchanting snakes to breed like rabbits. He had also instilled in them, through selective breeding, an unnatural hatred of Mud Bloods. It was his answer to the destruction of the chamber of secrets. Soon there should be over a thousand snakes in the castle, and it would be very, very hard to get rid of them all... Hobbly: "Master, you wanted pumpkin juice?" Abob kicks his house elf, causing him to drop the juice he was holding. Abob: "You stupid clumsy elf! Get me another one, and hurry." Hobbly: "But Master, there is snakes in the great hall. I is scared of sna-" Abob get me that pumpkin juice, or I'll give you clothes!" Hobbly: "NOOO! No clothes! I get juice!" The small elf runs out of the room as fast as he can, and Abob laughs. This was going to be a very good year indeed...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]My little sister likes Jar Jar. All I can say is that everything that is bad in the Star Wars galaxy is [I]his[/I] fault. Senator Palpitine has an army because of Jar Jar, Episode I was labeled the worst Star Wars movie because of Jar Jar and Jar Jar is the source of all grammatical error in the known galaxy. Death to Jar Jar! Into the Sarlacc he goes! *Runs of screaming about horrible punishments that need to be used on Jar Jar*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Voldemort left his underground hideaway, and strolled through the forbidden forest, his midnight black phoenix flying high above him. He walks for several hours, until he reaches the other side of the forest, and barely fifty meters in front of him is the edge of the forest, Hagrid's hut. He slips on his invisibility cloak, and then walks across the immaculately maintained castle grounds towards the castle. All is quiet, and he can hear the train pulling up at the station. The brats will be here soon, and the plan will go into motion. He waits silently behind the greenhouse, and barely a minute later a grey rat comes running out of a castle drainpipe and Voldemort scoops it into his pocket. He takes a look around, then hurries off back towards the forest...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=green]Do we really need post counts? As long as they are there, people will spam simply to become a "Member" or an "Extreme Otaku" or whatever. Now that custom avatars are no longer tied to post counts, why have post counts? Just so we can have titles? This probably won't happen due to the extra work it would force overworked moderators to do, but titles should be awarded based on quality and not quantity. I think that post counts should be abolished. What do you think? [/COLOR]
