I see if you are not a donator, folks have a "Author" box there.
(just curious)

I'm asking the same thing. What does this signify?

Equally curious - and of course Bobby can run the forum however he wants to.

I truly appreciate being a member of such a well managed and moderated forum.

Do I want to become an 'Author'?
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Author is the OP, the person that started the thread. If dearborn (the Op) posts below me, he will have the Author tag.

well, that is nifty! I like it a whole bunch! Saves me time scrolling back to the top or to the 1st page of several hundred to see who started a topic! very cool!

I guess that "Original Poster" would have been too long to insert into that box..

I like it. Personally I would suggest 'topic starter' if that can fit as it would explain, or 'OP' which is used enough everywhere for more to know.

Author works but new people will always be wondering...and then you will get questions like nickelsearcher x100.

Looks good, and may bring a small bit of attention to the supporter/big supporter tags as well for casual members browsing which may help bobby a bit over time along with the links that earn commission.
