description under username

i was jus wonderin why people have different descriptions under their username. i know that you start as a newbie and then become a regular, but ive seen ones that look customised. how did they do that?

There are two types of users that have customizable titles; moderators and AF donors. The donors donated money to the AF server fund a while back, and for that recieved the ability to change their user title. Your title changes after you reach a certain posting mark, but just remember, post counts arent everything.

oh ok, cool

what does it mean when someone has all purple stars instead of the usual most white with some yellow

The purple stars are because that person donated to the AF server fund we had a while back. If they donated, they received purple stars to signify it.
