curiosity question

On the "What's Going On" section at the bottom of the Forums page there is a list of users who are currently online. Some are bolded. Others are not. Any rhyme or reason as to why this is?

Sincerely,

I wondered why your handle always had a + next to it on my screen....

How do you think I figured out the "+"



In most cases my name followed by a + means I am in somebody's crosshairs

Hmm. Until recently, mine was bolded and I have never been a moderator.

Weird.

Could it be that each of our names is/was bold on our own specific sessions? That is to say that if I went there my name was in bold, but on your session I would appear with the rest of the great unwashed? I seem to recall seeing mine in bold previously, and drawing that conclusion.

Maybe. But, it doesn't do it any longer, ergo the question.

No biggie. Just curious more than anything else.

The "clique" booted you out because you refused to participate in the vast conspiracy.

Perhaps you were bolded because you are a member of TalkBoard?

I don't see TalkBoard member under your name now, perhaps that's why it's no longer bolded?

Although I can't recall whether 'TalkBoard Member' used to be under your name or not?

Nope. Was never listed as a TalkBoard Member under my registered user id.
