Not sure how those titles are decided here on MTS, but there's a similar system on my site, and also on Insim (where I am a mod and have a custom title). On many sites they're often decided by things like post count, achievements, forum status (being a moderator or admin often gives the perk of having a custom title), being a creator (MTS gives you a palette), having donated (MTS donators get a blue heart), helping out in a particular forum area, making a tutorial, or similar. Most of the automatic ones are usually decided in the forum settings.

"Test subject", "Lab assistant" and "field researcher" looks like they're decided by post count, possibly also "Top Secret Researcher". I'm guessing the "mad poster" appears after around 5000 posts (since I've got that one...). Absolutely no idea about the "space pony" title (can't remember if I've had that one, if it's a post count one).

As for the really custom titles for moderators and such, as an example, Maxon has the custom title "The Great AntiJen", while Joandsarah77 has the title "Needs Coffee". I'm guessing they selected those themselves.

I could practice Magik in addition to Alchemy, who knows.

If you remember me, I'm awesome!

Adding to what simmer22 said:

Website FAQ

MTS was originally for TS2 and, obviously, branched out to subsequent games....but the titles are (mostly) TS2-related.

I don't mind if you call me "MSD" or something for short.

Yes, moderators can make their own titles and I added the "needs Coffee". The other ones like Space Pony is linked to post count. Space Pony is very fleeting if you post so enjoy it while you can.

Well, to be fair, that's often post-related too. :P
