To put this to bed at the time "major" meant one of the big main ones like Forestry, IC2, EE... you know the ones people used to consider the "main ones" back in 1.2.5/1.4.7. Basically it was me, Caden, Sparkst3r, and pcmaster and Timmie.
Since 1.5 no one really considers anything main and a lot of more are entirely interchangeable.
Now it depends on time on the forum, time helping, contributions, and (at least) one full patch. Whereas EnhPortals was quite big you started it randomly after AM2 which I imagine more people really want? If we gave everyone who did a patch the pink username it'd just make the title look cheap.
And as pointed out, that page is old, and will likely never be used again. Due to Cubik getting Sphax to do much with the forum is difficult
And now let's stop talking about this and you finish AM2 instead!
