I vaguely recall that users with 1000+ posts are able to change their titles. Where would I set mine?

A while back I knocked together a TamperMonkey script which adds custom titles. It isn't as good as the "actual thing" but still fun :)/>. Feel free to (mis)use.
// ==UserScript==
// @name BetterCC
// @description Adds custom titles to people
// @author SquidDev
// @include http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/*
// ==/UserScript==
window.addEventListener('load', event => {
$$('span.author a[hovercard-ref=member]')
.filter(x => x.innerText == "SquidDev")
.map(x => x.closest("div.post_wrap").querySelector("ul.basic_info"))
.forEach(x => x.innerHTML = '<li class="desc member_title">Inky</li>' + x.innerHTML);
});

It works, but the whole point is to show off ;)/>

It was still possible as of February of 2013 (which is when I got "Java Lunatic"), but I don't remember when or why it was discontinued.

Used to be that all members had titles automatically assigned via post count, with the option of requesting a custom title from a moderator after 1000 posts.
Dan decided that the auto-title system was silly, and scrapped it (almost exactly the same time as I got my custom title, by the way - I first assumed that someone'd hit the wrong button when they enabled it, as it took him a while to come out and say what he'd done).

Ahh well. Can custom titles still be requested from staff, or is that also gone?

They're not likely to be a regular thing any more. Some may still get done, but probably by invitation, or a special event (like Mad Dash was), etc.

The old post count titles were nonsense - some of them were downright derogatory, and only appeared because someone who may actually be very talented didn't have many posts yet. Custom titles are fine, but I sincerely hope we don't plan to go back to the old post count system.

We won't be making a move back to mass user titles. They don't add anything of value to the forum. We also don't assign custom titles any more except in special cases, or the Mad Dash/Necromancer titles, which are just for fun.
