What is the significance of the different colored gingerbread boys that appear under our screen names. My is white, (unbaked?), while others are golden brown. How do I get a brown one? Fred

I believe it has to do with the online/offline status of a member.
You got it Surefire. 
I've noticed that the desired effect is kinda like some of our trains. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. LOL!!!!
If you "hover" your cursor over the gingerbread men, you'll get your answer...
Steve, If I hover over it , it says I am offline, yet I must be online to hover. This is a great paradox. Fred

Wrong! You can still "hover" and be OFFLINE! It even tells you, or anybody else that you "hover over" if THEY are on or off line.

Hot Water, You may be wrong. One cannot even be on the site without being online, thats simple. It shows me offline when I am signed in. Fred

To think, I was just wondering why this hobby has such a public perception issue.
I think that they should all be sent to their desks, to put their heads down for 5 minutes.

WRONG!
(sorry, I just couldn't help myself)
One with no color means that person is "half-baked".

If a person is half-baked, it could be because he is in simply in hot water!
