Registered Users?

I just saw my first new poster with the title Registered User? Who are these people and how do they differ from the rest of us? Is this the default title from here on out?

That first sentence wasn’t supposed to be a question.

Maybe I should go to bed…

Registered User appears to be someone who hasn’t posted since the pay system went into effect. Once they post, they become guests.

It doesn’t seem to be consistant, though.

Correction, Registered User would be someone who hasn’t posted at all.
