news reports they have doubled the number of user icons for paid users. They are also giving "loyalty" icons to users who have had paid accounts for more than 3 months. The upshot of which, as a permanent user, I get 132 icons. I currently use 31 slots, and actually use probably 5 or 6 of those. Crazy!
It's "nice" to see the same mixture of "OMG so kewl" and "what about us?" that every news post has. Some people are never happy.
If you are an Irish Catholic - Happy St Patrick's day. If you are just Irish - Happy Patron Saints day (Paddy's Day). If you are neither - Happy Guiness Day! :)
