    Hi everyone!

    I have created a plugin to automatically update your username and your badges on the forums when you join the lobby!

    Here's how it works.

    The first time you login to the lobby, it will try and match your Minecraft player to your forum account. Since the forum currently only has your username stored, it will look for an account with your current Minecraft name.

    If it finds an account, it will add your UUID (your unique Minecraft ID that doesn't change when your name does) to your forum account. From then on, if you change your Minecraft name via Mojang, it will automatically update on the forums the next time you go to the lobby.

    If it doesn't find an account, a moderator will need to change your forum username to match your current Minecraft name. Once that is done, the next time you go to the lobby, it will add your UUID as stated above, at which point no more moderator assistance is required for forum name changes! Neat!

    The extra nice thing about this is that now VIPs will have a special badge added to their profile page and avatar to show off their dedication to supporting The Sandlot! Woohoo!

    Cool! Thanks c0w!

    Once a VIP donates once, do they have the forum rank forever?
