For those of us who are graduating, could we have a little option that says "Alumnus" or "Alumna" or something to that effect in our profile?

And it ain't a petty gripe as I know some of the creators of this site are going to have that status soon

i thought it was like "alumn" or something. what is the proper term?

Alumni maybe

The masculine form is "alumnus." The feminine form is "alumna." The masculine & mixed plural are both "alumni." The feminine plural is "alumnae." Both of those are pronounced with a long "i" sound at the end in Anglicized Latin pronunciation.

in the "class" part of the profile, add graduated

It would be really neat to be able to view other people who registered on the same day as the current user that you are looking at. Some sort of "registration class" of people who signed up on the same day. This would be akin to what SETIatHome does.

or do it by semester, like "pledge classes" only instead it could be "n00b class"


<---Fall 2000 n00b class

That would probably be a better idea, considering that we don't have the userbase that SETIatHome does...

So I would be from the Fall 2000 n00b class.
