So it's like a nick name? I just noticed mine is 'Olu 'olu'. I always thought these little texts were nick names/slogans users had picked! Then today, 10 years after joining, realized I have one too! Where's my Hawaiian dictionary? Hope it doesn't mean "Lazy fiddler" or "He who writes bad checks"!
'Olu 'olu to ya'll! |

Ah Duke, that is because you went from highest post count to lowest. Since you start with zero posts and counts go up, then you've got A-L-O-H-A!
BTW, thanks for answering the question.
Here it is in the FAQ: What are the Hawaiian words underneath members usernames? |

Aloha Gordon
The "Olu'olu" under your name is one of a number of brackets Andy has installed to signify the number of "posts" you have accumulated.
It goes something like this:
Ahonui = 2000 plus posts
Ha'aha'a = 1000-1999 posts
Olu'olu = 500-999 posts
Lokahi = 100-499 posts
Akahai = 1-99 posts |
