So, Official Thread titles should include |OT|?

I just don't understand the fascination GAF has with putting subtitles on every official thread. If anything it should just be "____________: The Official Thread" or something along those lines.
 
I prefer start of the title.

OT | Final Fantasy XIII - There are a grand total of three people who like this game
OT | Pokemon HeartGold and SuckSilver - Did you buy the right version?

I have trouble parsing anything longer than 4 characters too.

This has my vote.
 
yeah |OT| is horrible

anyway I think all official threads should be like this "*game title* The Official Thread" without any extra fancy sub titles.

Yep. I'd buy that
except the FFXIII part :-(
 
At the beginning looks ten times better, but OT still makes me think of Off-Topic.
I vote for [Official] at the beginning.
 
There's already 11 threads with this in the title on the first page, and there are about 4 more that should have it but it hasn't been put in yet. This actually makes it harder to find threads as I'm seeing the same thing all over my screen. They can do whatever they want, but this is a poor solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

I'm a fan.

Which is why it's not at the beginning of the title.

I like the way you think.

And agreed, this was indeed a problem that didn't exist at all, never heard anybody say anything about this at all.

Yeah, it was much easier to remember the goofy little things thrown in. Hell, a well made Official Thread title was half of the fun. Oh well.

*thumbs up*

I prefer this too.
 
Where I live there's a gay girls' scene mag called Lesbians on the Loose. Commonly known as LOTL.

lOTl Suddenly! Lesbians everywhere!

Wait. I'm retarded so you'll have to explain this to me slowly. The idea of this is to make things more difficult and inconvenient?
 
Why not add an option when creating a thread (where the Miscellaneous Options are) to post an "Official Thread"?

And then mark it will a small Graphical representation (like a bolded *, or other star, or a small image)?

That would make it easier to organize as an administrator and be much easier on the eyes of the users.
 
It does kind of make it easier to browse through official threads with the game's title at the beginning...I just don't like how it looks. :P

Putting OT in the front would be a disaster, though.
