Our original plan to upgrade to new software has encountered a delay of unknown length. We still intend to upgrade the site but it will be a bit longer in coming. We know you will all be patient.

Since when do we have new user titles?
I just recognized them...

I've been called cute before. If you insert "being" before cute ... now.
Then I suppose there's another title for that huh.
