Ok, ok, ok damn I get it I should be looking at the FAQ list before I ask dumb question, but like they say a dumb question deserves a dumb answer.
Hey no harm no foul so I have went to the FAQ and was tring to figure out what the little colored circles are in my profile and what they mean. Can you steer me in the right direction to figure this out? ThanksHey, don't take it personal. You'll find out after you've been here a while. We like it when people post stuff like this.
It's nothing personal, more like a game of pile on or tackle football.
Honestly, it's all in fun.
Well, mostly in fun cause you breaking out the smilie with the AR is kind of over the top
