My name at the bottom in the little list of members currently online used to be bolded black font and I just noticed that I am red.
What'd I do? ;)

Well now I am not bolded anymore. I even checked to make sure my arrow was not over my name.
Is this because of the pie eating contest post?

Do you know, I hadn't even noticed until this moment that you'd changed your name How remiss of me.
What?! Now how the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks did that happen?!
First I am bolded, then I am red, then I am unbolded...Now I have a whole new identity! Soon the powers that be will do away with me altogether!!
;)
Just trying to keep you on your toes, Parihaka. :)
I see it's working.

I have made senior members' usernames regular font, and made the user titles bold instead. The bold usernames were quite chunky and space-consuming, the new style is sleeker.
It also helps close the perceived gap between senior and non-senior members, as I'm sure it can be a bit intimidating when you're the regular-font username guy posting in a thread where everybody else has a huge, chunky bold username, while at the same time keeping a visual distinction between senior and non-senior members, albeit not so drastic.
Think of it as a move to "lower the barriers" to participation. :)

“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
Don't you mean the Communist Party? I thought the Dems were blue.
Democrats = Left-Wing = Socialists = Communists = Red = Better Off Dead.
Simple math ;)
