The display that reflects a member's post count has been changed to an output level meter. When did this happen? Has anyone else noticed this, yet?
 
What do you all think about it? I think it's kinda kool, as it is more appropriate for a music production related forum, but I do miss the stars (they made me feel like a 4 star general).  Now, with this new member status display, my output level looks kinda low. LOL

I'd like to hear what the "Official Bartender" has to say about this. 

Well, at least I am not CLIPPING.  :)

A good job they're not analogue or Bapu would have a bent needle...

Hey Bob, it looks like you're in the red to me. Haha Look at the red area under my meter and then yours? Mine is dull black, meaning the level hasn't reached it, but yours is bright red. You're clipping, dude! Too many posts, man. 
 
Just kidding. 
 
And say man, what does that Forum Host mean, which you have under youe output meter. Did Cakewalk select you to be a forum admin or something like that?

I guess I have to post to find how little of a meter  I have

I wonder what will happen when somebody pegs the meter. Will a limiter kick in? I see bapu's already in the red. If we don't hear from him for a few days we'll know what happened.

Ryan didn't want to make a million meter images so we just gave bapu his own special one.

I think Bapu has the highest post count of all forum members, so that's really cool of you all to give him his own output level meter! Bapu even surpassed Beagle's post count!  Some users are just posting maniacs.

Forum Host is a new concept getting the details worked out by the real moderators.  Forum Hosts are not actual moderators, I think we might be like the people that used to clean the erasers after 4th grade science class.  So, I quite honestly do not yet know what it means - I am sure they will make some sort of announcement. and then we will both know.  :)
 
There is another thread talking about it in the Coffee House forum, but I have not gone through more than the first few posts in it to know what all has been discussed.
