Horseman basically just shook my hand and Slapped Japo in the face.

I forgot to run a maintenance function that updates the titles

It's currently underway.

I looked at Japo's past post on this thread and the rank is still the same-- Will it start applying on new posts?

Or is there just a lag?

I had to go to my forum options and "reset" my title to the default one--which it previously was. Understandably, the forum doesn't mass-change the title of many users only because the default is changed. So other people with "goto Abandonia" will keep it, unless they do the same. I think. Only new people who arrive at this rank will get the default title.

Thanks Horseman for giving me a unique default title

Thanks much, You Faithful Admin Brothers

Changing it is easy. It's just that it wasn't really noticed before.

*bam* Done.

Yes, I gathered.

It's correct, but doesn't make much sense, because the second line would never run--and so the apparently intended loop wouldn't occur. This would make more sense:

Heh, somebody, UPDATE THE BUGS (So to speak).

As in, Why hasn't someone changed this yet, if it's wrong?

Perhaps none of the Admin know how, since the people who programmed it are no longer with us?

is a set of BASIC instructions. Although I don't think it's written correctly. *shrug*

Code:

10 GOSUB ABANDONIA
20 GOTO 10

Once Again, Dear Me.

Dear me, you do have a problem.
I think changing it and having users log in separately would be better-- but whatever.
For the pokes, who are the people who gave you this Abominable Snowman?

Lol LuLu comes on randomly and posts something-- It's like a "What!?! Oh, people are watching!" Experience.

As far as decades making you feel old, heh, well, in decades I'm 1.5, So I feel brand new!

When you talk about it in decades I just feel old

The "why" is simple enough: The (otherwise very broken) interaction between the site and forums automatically logs in users on the forum if they are logged in to the site.

Although that's only a guess. The people who gave us this little abomination have not been in touch for past half decade.
