Nah!
Forget the titles. They don't serve a useful purpose, they make new users think that there is a level of l33tness that they need to achieve before they will be acknowledged as being equal with everyone else. I've seen it happen on other boards. I think that the people on this board are mostly above the petty issues that I've seen on other boards. Nevertheless many people will see the titles as a kind of ranking to be won. Some people will post for no reason other than to add another number to their post count. This just adds confusion to what can already be an intimidating experience for new users who aren't familiar with the experience.
I suggest foregoing the intermediate steps and allowing people to use custom titles after only a few posts. Maybe 20-30. Anyone that's interested enough to post even that few number of times can probably be trusted with a title of their choosing.
