Why is my usertitle "Shameful Member"?
I've probably logged on this forum 4 or 5 times on this account since 2009. No idea when or how it happened so I may as well ask. I didn't change it myself. I did post in the Wibbles a lot if I do remember correctly. I was wondering if there was a general way that I got this?

If an answer isn't possible, whatever, I'm just a bit curious.
Possibly because you've had an account for so long without really using it, might be like a joke or something.
I think it has something to do with obtaining an old school symbol ingame for people who weren't oldchoolers (the symbol was a "+" next to your name ingame). People who had that symbol ingame, and were not oldschoolers, got it taken away from them, and got their usertitle changed to "shameful member". Unfortunately I don't known the reasoning on how people obtained the symbol. I think it had something to do with fighting hampa ingame, or something along those lines. If any old mods from 2010-2012 (since thats when people were given the usertitles) want to confirm, or correct this, please go ahead.

I'm not sure about this, but I think I remember reading somewhere a long while ago that people who pirated the game back when it was p2p had the oldschooler status removed and given that usertitle, I'm not 100% sure.

but then again his join date is 2009

[03:39] <idabosswiz> can't you just set up a pass for ddos?
Perhaps. I have an account that has a join date in 2007 which I am an oldschooler on. Maybe it somehow got mixed with that while I was playing.

Must have been way way back if I ever tried, though I'm not sure if I did. Thanks for the info though guys. Somehow makes a bit of sense xD Interesting they posted the names publicly like that, as well. I suppose I am very shameful.

EDIT: After reading the thread fully, this is very likely to be the case. Thanks again!
