What are the tags under the user names mean. Can anyone tell me. I am new to this stuff. Somebody do the KCC THING FOR ME. (kind,considerate and most of all compassionate.) THANKS


As Sassy already said, they are "subtitles" reflecting the amount of your posts. You would have to ask Spacebass for their actual meaning, as they (afaik) have been like this since the start of unFiction. Maybe they are even the standard phpBB bulletinboard subtitles (?).


And some very special folks like Giskard get their own, unique forum subtitles. Wink

Why don't we make a few subtitles, send them to Spacebass, and if he agrees we make a vote on what is going to be the next subtitle! Wink Locky! Flaming Nutter Rock On

 		Hi, I too just had K100 pop up and then disappear then I went back to boot. Also, is there a list of the ranks and how many posts you have to have to get a specific rank? I've read the FAQ's, and no I'm not trying to randomly post just to boost my rank, it's just information that I'd like to have. Thanks!

 		It's the result of an inside joke -- when you have 42 posts, your status changes to "kl00" (clue) as an homage to 42 Entertainment, a company that made a lot of early ARGs.

 		That's not entirely accurate, it's more the fact that 42 has always been a number of a certain significance in (and outside) ARGs, inspired, ofcourse, by the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

That said, there might be more than one occurrence of the number 42 that has a little subtitle-related easter egg associated with it Wink
