Question 1: The dot after subjects on messageboards. What is it? How does it behave the way it does?
Hypothesis: The dot is added when you comment/create a thread, and vanishes after so many posts pass without you commenting it.
Question 2: How does one get labeled a 'superscriber'?
Hypothesis: Subscribe to EVERYTHING that has a subscription associated with it.
Am I even close?

1. The dot is put next to threads you post in.
2. The superscriber tag is applied when you subscribe to all the subscriptions in a product line.
ok now I need to find what I'm missing in the PFRPG line to not have it...

I wonder if the dot disappearing from some threads you've posted in has anything to do with multiple aliases? I just noticed it started doing this today after I made a new one.

Might be something Gary's set up after a certain amount of time w/o posting. Or it could be the "...of Forums are way too long" threads are eating them to survive. BTW dont feed the "forums are way too long" threads after midnight...
If you create the thread, you get a dot. If you post in a thread, you get a dot, but that dot will go away in 7 days or if the thread has had more than two new pages of posts since you posted.
Also, some dots may also temporarily not show up if the dots subsystem is particularly busy at the moment, but should appear properly within a few minutes.
See this post for dot details:

EDIT: Oops...ninja'ed by the big cheese.
Dots go away after a certain number of posts have passed since your last post on the thread. You see (x new) on any old thread that you have visited. Clicking on the (x new) link will take you to the last post you read.
As for getting the Superscriber tag, you can be two kinds of superscriber:
1) Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber - Adventure Path, Chronciles, Companion, Modules
2) Pazio Superscriber - All the above, RPG, Maps, Cards, Planet Stories
If you have all of (1) but just parts of (2), you'll have a tag like me, which lists one superscription and then all the individual subs that don't quite get you to (2).

As Yoda said to Obi-Wan, "There is another." If you subscribe to all of the GameMastery subs—currently GameMastery Maps and GameMastery Cards—that makes you a GameMastery Superscriber.

You could subscribe to those and get D&D minis at your FLGS? Or get your second (or third?) decks of item cards at the FLGS?
I can't wait until I'm able to put the rest of my subscriptions back.
Also, some dots may also temporarily not show up if the dots subsystem is particularly busy at the moment, but should appear properly within a few minutes.
When I first post to a new PBP under an alias, the dot usually doesn't appear. I fool the dot by posting as myself, then deleting the post after the dot appears. My dot remains, but I have vanished like smoke.
My observation is that it sticks around a lot longer than just seven days for me. There's one for me on the discussion thread for Book of the Damned I, and I posted there in April. It hasn't passed the two pages since I posted limit though, so I don't know if the dot will vanish after that. Yet.
According to the link I posted above, it also matters if you posted in the first 100 posts of a thread.
