How many posts to not be a "Newbie"

shanngord · 01-21-2011, 12:51 PM

I can't seem to find information on how many posts I need to not be a "Newbie"

Its seems much nicer to be a "Jr. Member" or "Hero Member" than a newbie.

Does membership classification automatically change once we have possession of our Escape?

Sigh! Thats not for another five and a half months

I think that I need a new hobby to try to get my mind off the clock ticking 'till summer.

cheers, (its snowing heavily right now)

It goes by the number of posts that you do.. I can check to see what the thresholds are if you're really interested, or just post and be surprised that it changes

More info is always helpful

I believe it was 100 to get out of the "newbie" category, and into the "Jr". Hero's are those dedicated lots who have posted more than 500!!!!! Which means they've had a lot of time on their hands : - )
Yours truly, Hokie Hero

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I'll be a Newbie forever.

And, just to confuse the matter further....Jeff has red stars, Hokie Hero has yellow and I have green.

My guess would be that Jeff is supposed to stop posting, Hokie Hero is warned and I am free to post. Although if you look at the numbers, I have more posts than either of them.

Jeff is the owner and administrator, so I'm surprised that he isn't a super-hero .... or maybe he is and just modest.

Well, see there....by sharing with us your inner most desire..you racked up one more post, which gets you one post closer to not being a newbie anymore : - )

We were all newbies at one time, except maybe Jeff

This isn't like the Army where the more stars you have the more juice you have. Newbies bring knowledge to the forums too.

Thanks for the encouragement

(Thats 24 now - darn, still no change!)

Nothing wrong with newbie status
just Escape

shanngord · 01-22-2011, 06:33 PM

Although there is nothing "wrong" with newbie status, I just thought that maybe there should be more status catagories - like "Newbie minus 6 months" or "Beginner", "Intermediate", and "Advanced" Newbie.

Just wondering....

I think we should consider regional newby designators.

Newfy newby
Cheese newby
Calinewby

etc.

Boy, oh boy...you can tell it's winter and no one is out camping : - )

**Donna D.** · 01-23-2011, 09:42 AM

I just looked, I'm a three star Full Escapee.... and I don't even own one!

Maybe Jeff should create a new membership for wannabes....

ronstew · 01-25-2011, 05:11 PM

So, what's my status?

Edit: 249 posts, full escapee, 3 yellow stars.

JeffZ · 01-25-2011, 05:39 PM

Here's the current settings for our forum:

Desc Posts
Newbie 0
Jr Member 50
Full Escapee 100
Sr Member 250
Hero Member 500

So I can add/change the description and the thresholds for each group.. Of course Donna will always be a Hero in my eyes!!
