Noob Question
« on: July 26, 2013, 08:42:38 pm »
I started as an Escaped Lunatic. I am now a Bay Watcher. I assume that this transition simply signifies that I have been registered for a certain arbitrary amount of time or have made an arbitrary number of posts.

Is this correct? Is there any other significance to the titles?

Yep pretty much.

Also I am amazed what your memory skills must be judging by your username.

I believe at ten posts you become a Bay Watcher?
And then that is it... Unless your name is Jonathan S. Fox. And even then that is it.

Usually, it just makes you eligible for certain giveaway events... :P

Yeah, most people won't let Escaped Lunatics join giveaways.

Other than that it basically means "Yay, eight posts!"

It's mainly a visual separator for spambots.

Slaughterhouse five reference in the name, correct?

Close, it's a reference to The Sirens of Titan, it's just "the gentleman from tralfamadore" without spaces or vowels. Great book!
