PsychoMark, at 50 posts you can select your own custom title (up to 35 characters, obviously can't have any of the following words: admin forum moderator vbulletin) or, alternatively, you can ask Neo or I for a custom title if you want one before you hit 50 posts, cause we'll usually grant your request.
