I remember when TheHermit arrived on the forums, and the titles were already set... Are you sure about what you're saying ?
This can't be true. When he first posted, he had a title like everyone. I even remember that he asked for a sig here. If I remember well, he reached 100 posts pretty quickly, and he almost didn't post in OT. I know a lot about him, he even made a friendship request (if I find the e-mail back I'll post a screenshot).It could have been a possibility that this user registered before the newer user titles were implemented.
Hmmm... It may be that, but he wasn't a guest when he used to post ;-)Or maybe when he registered the forum put him in the guest group rather than the registered users group. That is often determined by post count like it is now.
vBulletin is cranky sometimes..so maybe it just had a bad day.
