Some people might have noticed a little star under some member's avatars. This little star tells the world: Hey! Look everyone! I've been a member of this forum for more than a year! It is a completely automatic process, so don't ask for more stars xD
Another thing that has changed -- I have added a new profile field that people can fill out. Its sort of a "What type of fan are you?" profile field. Check it out! Go to your User Control Panel -> Profile, and it's the drop down menu on the bottom.
I labeled myself as a "Fan since 1994. Fan forever".
