Some of you newer members may not be aware of certain cool hacks we have on this board.
Just to name a few...You can custom an online/offline message (that appears under how many stars you have), so instead of reading just "online" or "offline", you pick what it says for when you're online or offline. Simply go to your profile and find the two bars that allow you to enter different custom messages for each.
Note: The custom on/off messages puts hidden info/cookies into the space of your custom user title, so you can't make either too long. You can have a long user title if you have short on/off messages or you can have long on/off messages if you have a short user title or you can have them both be shortish...but you can't have them both long or it won't work. There is a way around this, though, as I've done for people in the past. I can copy what you want for a user title and put it in the censored words list, that way you just have a short word there but it will show up as something long.
You can also have a countdown in your signature (as Blaster Master does).
And, coolest of all I think, You can actually have music or a song play when someone views your profile (as Hockey and a few others have). Just go to your profile and enter a direct link to the music where the space for it is.
Note: Like the custom off/on messages stores hidden info/cookies in your user title...the song link stores hidden info/cookies in your signature, so again, if you have a long sig, chances are the song/music won't work. But again, if anyone wants, I can make one small word be censored to show your whole signature (Hockey's is this way. Really, all she has in her sig is "M2 - Beat Cop - Killed by the Mafia (loss). Hispanola - Vanilla Crew - Alive at the end (win). Crazyville - Therapist - Killed by the Psychos and my Lover Kat took her own life - (win). Cult of Sekham - Alchemist - Blowed up by the Cult - (win). Firefly - Vanilla Crew - Alive at the end (win). Pleonast's Conspiracy - Detective - Eaten by Werewolves (win). BladeRunner - TBD "; I just have "M2 - Beat Cop - Killed by the Mafia (loss). Hispanola - Vanilla Crew - Alive at the end (win).

There's also other little hacks you might discover here and there.
