I will add another question to photon's: How do you get to change the words "Registered User" on top of your avatar? Do you have to become a PF contributor to do that? And why is it that most people have them changed to infrared wave, or sine wave, or radio wave?

Yes, you will have to sign up to be able to change your title and get a custom made PF Contributor rank.
