Good question ninja The album covers/titles/stars refer to your member ranking. These rankings are based on how many posts you make. New members start with Three Imaginary Boys, and move up from there. You can see more information about how many posts are needed for each ranking here and here. Your ranking doesn't really change your interaction with the forum except that when you move into the Seventeen Seconds ranking you gain access to the Cure Sharing section. Hope this helps!
Howdy everyone. I notice there are some rank photos missing from some people's avatars including mine. Photobucket, where we host some of our photos, is having a minor meltdown at the moment. So we are working on fixing things.
