I've been on this site for some time now, and I swear I've been paying attention, but here is my ignorant question for the day: How did the people that have personalized taglines acquire them? I'm talking about the ones that say "retired CM thread-jerker" (Thanks, proudsub! Yours was the first that jumped to mind.

) or the like instead of "deranged" or "wicked" or "vanilla". Does it come from doing some kind of service for the site? That was the closest guesstimate I could come up with. I've been wondering about this for a long time, but I will admit that I haven't looked very hard for the answer. Usually I'll do my research like a good Girl Scout, but in this case it's just easier to admit my ignorance and ask. Thanks all.

Edited to add: Of course, it could just be like jumping the flag in the original Super Mario Brothers. You get fireworks, and you have no freaking idea why. LOL. Although I did, eventually, figure that particular mystery out. It only took about ten years.

It seems limited to well-established posters, who've been here since the earliest days. Strictly at the discretion of the Mods. I've been advised it is best not to pester them about it either.

Yep, it's a mod-only thing. I like Sinergy's.

Not exactly sure how they come about but I'm pretty sure I must have earned one by now???

I keep hoping for an invite from the Mods to change my Deranged to something else... so far, nothin'

. I figure I'll wait until I have 5000+ posts. Then I'll see how much pestering I can get away with... or how many cookies I have to mail out

Thanks, everyone. I figured it involved some sort of service to the site, and being a mod fits the bill best. It wasn't that I was jealous and wanted one. I'm perfectly happy being "deranged". But curiousity killed the cat, and I've got frequent flyer miles on my ninth life.

I could be wrong, but I think the posters who have them have been here from the beginning or nearly the beginning.
