Rules for suggestions: New additions will only be added once per year before Valentine's Day (late January/early February). Suggestions will be voted on in a crowner, and the amount of options to be added will be decided on a case-by-case basis when it's time to vote, and options must have a ratio of at least 2.5:1 (instead of the 2:1 minimum usually used on the site) and at least ten votes to have consensus to add.

Wishfully thinking
Wishing you were here
With my own personal Jesus -- someone to hear my prayers, someone who cares
With my statistically significant other
Writing a love letter
Yes, I'm alone, but I'm alone and free
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that
You can be my wingman any time
You cannot grasp the true form
You know I want to but I'm in too deep
You spin me right round, baby
You're a beautiful woman, probably
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA
You're the prettiest girl this side of the Mississippi

    Original OP 
Well, ok, I did set mine.

I'm not pining! I'm passed on! This Rotpar is no more! I have ceased to be! I've expired and gone to meet my maker! I'm a stiff! Bereft of life, I rest in peace! If you hadn't nailed me to the perch I'd be pushing up the daisies! My metabolic processes are now history! I'm off the twig! I've kicked the bucket, I've shuffled off the mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-ROTPAR!!

Seriously, guys, brilliant little Valentine's Day thing.

Seems like the best plan is to convert the relationship line into something you can just make up in your own profile. Also, make it so the label "relationship status" can be whatever the troper would like.

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

You probably ought to add a note to the forum rules that the same deal applies as with signatures and titles (no profanity, nothing inappropriate, etc.), if you go that route.

So, would the drop down list be removed entirely? It'd be a shame to see all the suggestions go, but I do like the idea of making it a custom thing a lot.

I don't mean to break this discussion up, and I kinda agree, but if we're going to add Frozen references, why is there not an option "reindeers are better than people"

Is it still only 2 per Troper?

Even if a time machine was invented, and man discovered how to live forever, not a single thing would become more convenient.
TParadox Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: The captain of her heart
#361: Apr 20th 2014 at 6:22:24 PM

I had many more than two added. The limit was mainly to keep it from becoming too much work to keep up with when it was popular.

At this point, they're probably not going to add anymore, since it seems that the next step is to replace the list with a box to fill in yourself.

It's already been mentioned that no more additions to the list will be made, since Eddie's apparently going to replace it with a "set it to whatever you want" thing. No word on when, and I'd assume it's very low on the list of priorities.

Think this thread should be closed, then, since it's not really serving any purpose at the moment?

New features are usually announced in the sidebar, though. That, or spread like wildfire through word of mouth.

I guess I'll holler it in and let the mods decide.

"Miyazaki School of Shipping"

"I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love."

EDIT: Sorry. Didn't notice the posts above me about how they're not adding more. I am a silly.

I cast raise dead.

You missed the obvious "Updating..."
Also the obvious "Needs wiki magic"
And one I'd probably actually use: "Missing"
Not to mention perennial favourites "Home" and "Away"

Anyway, so this unpopular feature. Has removing it been added to the wishlist yet? Has making it a customisable field been added to the wishlist yet? Has making it independently deactivateable been added to the wishlist yet? Has making it seasonally replaced by other stuff been added to the wishlist yet? For this last one, I would use Relationship Status for the spring, species for the fall, wishlist for the winter, and just status for the summer.

I think this calls for a crowner.
