As the forums have grown and matured (they are nearly 2 years old), it was decided forum "User Titles" and forum "Reputation" levels were in need of a face lift and a fresh coat of paint. We hope to help bring them up to date and more in keeping with the forums as they now stand.
Therefore over the weekend (6 - 7 May 2006), new forum "User Titles" and forum "Reputation" levels were implemented. Those changes have affected all forum users, and will hopefully be seen in the light they are intended (fun, light-hearted, not to be taken too seriously, a better reflection on the forums now they have been open for nearly two years, etc).
Information on the new forum "User Titles" and forum "Reputation" levels, can be seen
