In the past four years or so of titles, many of us rightly criticised them for merely being a more visible form of join date elitism. After all, even amongst Mythic members it's a well known fact that when it comes to blueperiority, '04 or bust. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
In this brief interregnum, we should take the time to think about the very nature of elitism. Is it the watering down of standards of posting? The discouraging of intellectually stimulating discussion? Apathy towards the community in general?
Whatever the reason, you should remember that you have always been inferior, will always be inferior, and even when you are old enough to be considered "Mythic" by the lowly systems put in place by the web team, you will still be inferior. Some among you will one day rise to be considered worthy posters. Most of you will not.
Most of you did not even get this far. Shame on you.

I have slugged more crap and done more stuff within and for this community than can ever be shown based on a string of numbers. I got into computers because of my work in halo pc trial modding and the time i spent designing custom maps in Custom edition. My join date has nothing to do with the amount of time and energy i have put into the community which is probably more than some of the lurking 04-06 joins have ever done. You enjoy your string of numbers I'll enjoy my memories.
