You could try to be clever by writing hidden messages in every single one of your posts using the tags...but the last time someone did that they ended up with a tag curse and the corruption spread to their very posts as well.[/QUOTE]
If you do something that creates a lot of work for admins and mods, you're likely to get a new tag few people want.

I have heard that you have to post something amazing like a comment or gif to get one or be proper bad, i think the best way is just try to help people & just be nice & don't let people lead you on & try to get you to say or do something you shouldn't do thus ending up with a ban.

I hope to one day do something good here on GAF to get a custom tag.

:)
 
I believe it's the standard GAF Gold subscription + $7.99 platinum upgrade (with the initial activation fee of about $20.99) for the first month and then $12.99 every month after.

Could be wrong though.

i'll be honest, 10,000 posts and i don't recognize your name or avatar

Thanks for proving my point. :)

Most of them are actually from one of the OT community threads. I seem to lurk way more in Gaming unless it's an OT for a few games.

I'm still surprised you got off without a tag.

bitch I'm taking calls.

Sounds a lot like the 3rd most common tag on this forum after Member and Junior Member. Comes with a special status too iirc.
 
Now I've been wondering this for years now.

I always though this is some kind of a privilege for mods and certain VIPs from the industry and/or veteran members here on the board but this morning I saw a thread from someone that is 17 years old, join date 2012, who had custom member status - and that doesn't really fit into what I thought is needed to get it.

I tried to Google this now several times but never found a clear answer to that question. Even the FAQ here only states that an administrator has to enable that (which was obvious).

So please, GAF, tell me, what's the secret? I gotta know, once and for all.

A star that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. I rather be a normal and boring member than stand out form the crowd.

To me a tag is only good if it references something good. Like that guy that has a tag where we was quoted in the Exxon lawsuit against Fox.
 
Or sometimes you get one and you still don't know what it means, and it is a mystery.

If I got a random one without any meaning I wouldn't give a shit, but if I got a mysterious one that seemingly did have a meaning that I didn't understand it would drive me crazy. I obsess over shit like that.

Were a mod ever to give me one I have a feeling that it would be for something stupid rather than something impressive.

i was going to quote every single person in the thread that was tag fishing as an attempt at tag fishing myself with that post. however 7 pages is just too much.

by posting this i am also tag fishing. it's an endless vicious cycle

Insult the Canucks. Positive tag 60% of the time, every time.
The Canucks are shit though so thats just redundancy. It doesnt make any sense. Its like making fun of the Leafs for choking. They will always choke. They are the leafs.

Be careful what you say, I once got a "Boring" tag for saying that word. Maybe you're going to be my successor? :p
 
Concord grape pop tarts are a trigger apparently.

And if EightBitNate is wandering around without a tag there's no hope for you... Although, "Member" is oddly appropriate for him.

I came here to post something funny about tagging fish but then I remembered I'm not actually funny. So, I guess I'll go back lurking.

People go on GAF to escape restrictive high school cliques that left them ostracized loner nerds, immediately want to be part of even weirder restrictive clique.

Hey now, I got better!

Occasionally I still find a corruption scab hanging around my heels though. Peels right off 90% of the time on the first try!

I think your best bet would be to start insulting some mods - I'm sure one of them will repay the favor with a tag
