See the title, I have all browns(Is that good?) but people with more posts have less browns, what does that mean?

EDIT: It changed. Glitch?

The beans and title change with your postcount. Really they're just there for fun and are pretty arbitrary.

You'll find a list of the "ranks" here:

edit: like the link posted by mali2297 tells, the beans are not exact counts of anything and change rather randomly over time. At some point (I think it was 3500 posts to support forums) you can change the text to your own. Still, you shouldn't post here just to increase the bean counts, as they are really only meant to be a little extra fun to the forums.

That means that "plunger coffee" is a product of your personal creative juices? I am afraid to ask!:)

yes, it's my personal choice of coffee to drink. :) ("plunger" because "french press" was too long to fit the allowed length, and "cafetière" sounds way too fancy for me)

Thanks for shareing the meaning behind 'Plunger Coffee'. At first sight, I didn't want to know what it was...

Correct, either that, or being staff gives you that privilege too :)

I had mine before I was staff though, and decided to keep the Ubuntu theming of the titles while throwing in a shot of whisky (get it? :p).

Also whats not to get??
btw I want custom titles just so that I can write single malt better then Joeb :)

Whisky/Whiskey it doesn't matter. They're both the same.

I just use Whisky, because it's easier to type ;)

Awesome, thanks mali2297! I was curious if the beans were a form of 'rank', I guess they aren't. Unless you've been banned ;) (Day Old Decaf, if I'm correct?).

I like the randomness that the staff have built into the beans, mine changed to 'Spilled the Beans' for about a week which was cool. I like the roasted beans, they're my favorite :).
