[Mike the Wino]

Hi,

I'm a new member and have a couple posts on the site (now three!). I just noticed the phrase "Give me back my RAZR!" under my user name on a thread I started yesterday. There's also a little green box below the phrase that says "Mike the Wino is on a distinguished road" when I hover over it. I didn't put them there and I like them both (especially the RAZR comment!), but have never seen similar things on other forums I contribute to. How are these generated?

EDIT: And now I see a different phrase under my user name, so this must be a forum software function I haven't seen before (elsewhere). COOL!

That's called a user status phrase and will change as your post count increases.

The green box represents your reputation status.
