Hmmm…so why do some users have no member info underneath their name? In this thread, I see nothing underneath **NoPretentiousCodename** , **Kythereia** and **Cockatiel**. ---

Looks to me like they’re the only three to post who have registered since the board went pay. It seems like a half-decent explanation. ---

I’ve been stripped of my title as well… As long as they didn’t forget that I paid $14.95, we’ll be OK. ---

Damn you, **Duke of Rat**. Ruining my perfectly good theory. Maybe someone smarter can think of something better. ---

Jeez, I don’t know where my title went. The strange thing is that I just saw it a few minutes ago when I posted here last. There must be just a few bugs they need to work out. ---

It’s kinda weird. When I posted that, **Kythereia** had nothing under her name, then it said “Member” when the post went thru. I had nothing under my name, but had “Member” after the post went thru. Now neither of us has anything. **Harimad-sol** had “Member” under her name before I wrote this, I’ll see what it says after I hit submit. Seems like a cookie issue of some sort. ---

The new rolleyes is crap… :rolleyes: ? The Hell? The toothy grin is now too toothy. And the embarassed is just the regular smiley in a different color! 🙂 :o Oh, there are eyebrows, but it in no way represents embarassment, and CERTAINLY can’t be used for the blowjob smiley anymore. At least this one is still ok: :mad: ---
