Hey, I don't quite know what to call the text that is displayed below your avatar so I decided to call it your forum status.
How can people inside a usersgroup, particularly the forum regulars group, get their forum status to not read "Forum Regular?"

Look at some of the people in the usergroup Forum Regulars. Go through and you'll find at least 4 users who are part of the group but have different rankings such as Programmer and Guru Moderator

Basicly;
There are two types of Ranks; normal Ranks and Special Ranks.
- Normal Ranks are granted to all users based on their post count.
- Special Ranks are granted to specific users in the Admins Management tool and overrides the lookup in the post count.
I'm not sure why the various names exists. I can only relate to the one boards I myself admin, that I use the Special Ranks to describe the user(s). Moderators can have either
"SQL Guru", "PHP Guru", "C Guru" (aso aso, you get the point) so that others know what part of world they are strongest in. Might be the case here aswell.
