Why Do Certain Usernames Glow Blue? Certain usernames glow blue because they've chosen to become an Elite Pilot! Users who have chosen to donate to the community are given various privileges that other users won't have. How Does One Become an Elite Pilot? To become an Elite Pilot, you'll simply click on the donate button in the navigation bar. From there you have the option to donate an amount of money & become an Elite Pilot. Please remember that this is an optional choice. Your donation helps fund the site's costs & assists in paying for new features for this community. Remember that once you are an Elite Pilot, you are expected to act like one! Please understand that donating to the site does not put you above our rules. While we expect Elite Pilots to have the community's best interest at heart, they can still be banned if found to be breaking the rules set by our staff. Is there a specific amount I need to donate? The amount you choose to donate is completely up to you. We've set the minimum donation amount to $10. This allows us to ensure that every donation results in that member becoming an Elite Pilot. Any additional amount beyond that is completely up to you. However, we'll be announcing different "Donator Tiers" in the near future to recognize those who support the community!
