mindseye: Heh. The back story on the "C===8" symbols:
By default, YaBB uses some really corny indicators to show how long a member's been part of the group. Something like "YaBB Newbie!", "YaBB Junior Member!", "YaBB Senior Member!", and "YaBB God!"
When setting up this board back in 2002 (to replace the short-lived "blue" incarnation of LPSG), I wanted to get rid of those; they're just a little toooooo cheesy for my liking. But I wasn't terribly creative that night, and I wanted to get the board online and tested ASAP, so I replaced the designations with those. As a joke, figuring that Mark could replace them with whatever he wanted later on.
Over a year later, Mark hasn't touched them, so I guess we're stuck with 'em...
