Remember when SEO Chat Added Karate Belts to the forum? Pretty much everyone I know made fun of them and thought they were ridiculous. Well, they grew on most of the members and just when everyone was getting used to them, SEO Chat pulled them. There is a thread at SEO Chat named My Belt? with the discussion. One member, rightly so, said; "It's funny. When they first intoruduced the belts, noone wanted them. Now, people get upset because they didn't."

Anyway, there is a new "belt" system, which is really a reputation system. Based on number of posts, you can get one of the following logos near your name, in this order.
