When I hit 950 posts today, I expected to see a move up from 'Legatus Legionis'.<br>
<br>
And I got my promotion! To 'registered member' !<br>

Hi Jenny,<br>
<br>
Can't you get a cool 'Founder, Vortigern Studies' or something similar? How about giving new members a choice to enter their Roman unit?<br>

Hmmm... thoughtful pause.<br>
<br>
I recall at one time I offered new Primipilares the chance at their own legionary designation, and then there were moans about so-and-sos' reenactor unit number being spoken for, etc. So that was binned under the "too much trouble" category.<br>
<br>
If I consider someone well-known in Roman studies, most often as a published author or academic, I'll often create a custom designation for them. Occasionally, people with special projects or websites are given a custom title, although that's usually just a case of admin magnanimity, rather than an entitlement. If you own a website that qualifies as a contribution to Roman studies, send me the link and ask for a custom designation. I'll consider it.<br>
<br>
If others would like to be so customized, I'd say 1000 posts would be a worthy RAT accomplishment.<br>
<br>

OK Jenny,<br>
<br>
Now that is a kind offer.<br>
<br>
My website which I'd like to put before your consideration is: [url=http://www.fectio.org.uk/" target="top]FECTIO[/url]<br>
<br>
For a custom designation either<br>
"Webmaster, Vortigern Studies" (Vortigern Studies being the master website which overlies all other websites with a Late Roman/post-Roman subject).<br>
<br>
Or, if you prefer a more Re-enactment-related one:<br>
"Fectienses seniores"<br>
<br>

That's not fair dammit! I have anothe 1,248 posts that should be added to my count, but cuz my cookies got messed up one day, they disappeared!<br>
<br>
Jenny, could you not put a legion title under our avatar, and then the location? Mine could read: LEG XX VV and then under it "Canada" or perhaps the province as well. <p>Magnus/Matt<br>

Well, much food for thought here. Matt, I think your idea about assigning all the reenactors to their "unit" is a bit labor-intensive, although appealing since I do lose track of who is who and where with whom, etc.<br>
<br>
I'll think of something for you, never fear. <br>
<br>
As for Fectio and Reenactor.net, yes, those seem noteable enough for a custom label. I'll see what I can do...<br>
