And eventually you become a constellation!

There are tons of normal titles, enough that hopefully you won't get bored, but you get a custom title at the whim of the mods.  Sometimes, as Atropos says, you earn it: onsenmark is Spambane because of outstanding service in filing spam reports, Ragnarok is Caption Captor because he ran away with pretty much every caption contest we ran back in the day, etc.  Other times people just get titles because a mod was in a mood.  (Ask OnlyInThisLight why she is the king of all ducks.)  And there are plenty of longtime members who, for whatever reason, don't have a custom title (yet), and we love them too.

Nope!  Those are part of a series of titles that are modeled on the titles of SKU episodes (Wakaba Hath Flourished Verdantly and Nanami-sama Secret Diary, respectively).  There's one for every episode, ending with Someday Shiner, the highest of the normal titles.

Well, only if you view the movie as a continuation of the series, or it's symbolic culmination.  And that matter's far from a consensus.  I mean, theoretically, we could throw in the titles for the manga volumes, but seeing as the series is much more prominent, it wouldn't make much sense to start with them, and it would be a bit disappointing to go back to fairly simple titles after working one's way through the whole series.

Personally, I think "Someday Shiner" is satisfying end to the progression, from a purely aesthetic consideration.

Interesting. I looked up the episode titles on Wikipedia and the Wakaba one seems to be actually called "Wakaba Flourishing" which personally sounds a lot less sillier than "Wakaba Hath Flourished Verdantly"
