Numbers under User's name

[sheepopo39]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't sure what to search for. What do the numbers under a some Macrumors forums usernames mean? Its in place of "Macrumors Member" and says for example "Macrumors 68000".

The numbers come from the increasingly powerful microprocessors used in Apple computers over the years. The 6502 and 658xx are from the Apple II family, 680x0 were used in early Macintosh systems, 601 and beyond are PowerPC chips.

Those are our usertitles, and they're (in general) based on Apple processors of yore.

Ok, that makes sense.

Thanks for everyone's reply.

Why are they G3, G4, and G5 instead of 750, 7400 and 970?
