definitely on topic, but why am I red again? Just a few minutes ago I was blue. No fair I say. 
I have been meaning to fix up the colours now that we have membergroups (Phanatics, Classroom, etc) and the default red/blue rules have driven folks crazy for more than a year - the fact that we have a thread asking what the colours mean is an excellent demonstration of this. And I used to be red which confused the heck out of every system we cam up with, so changed all the colours.
Designation for and old bird with less than a year in?
Anyone that has a yellow stars are members that joined since about November last year (when the peregrines migrated) - their name colour are all red to indicate this is their first year online.
nobody has phanatic status with less than 2 years, so how can ya be a phanatic with one year??
True, and if you check down a couple of posts
you will see that I have noted that we have no first year phanatics yet, you will be one in a few months and it will say Phanatic under your name, you will have 1 big green star and your name will be in blue along the bottom of the main page.
Now the Sandbox has pretty colours ...
