Having been named after my father, I'll never outlive junior status...That's okay, after 50 years, I'm used to it.

I think you get to be a regular member at 50, and intermediate at 100. But I doubt anyone here really thinks of you as a junior, Gale.

Isn't that interesting?  I never even noticed the Junior next to my name until your post(s).  I guess I just pay more attention to username familiarization and/or their date of registration.  The membership classification doesn't really mean anything to me.  I've been around since October of 2002, and I also was a member of the original Yahoo group, but I don't post that often, so I guess I'm doomed to be a junior until my demise.  :-)

Thanks Bob, but like hollis, I am a junior also, but have never got used to it in 52 years!
 
Gale, junior

The threshhold is set to 50 posts to graduate. Currently they are:
 
New: 0
Junior: 10
Member: 50
Intermediate Member: 100
Advanced Member: 200
Senior Member: 400
 
We had a discussion about it a year ago, but I'm still trying to decide on the names. It can only be triggered by number of posts, and any suggestions are welcomed.

Hi All,
 
My suggestions are:
 
Member: 0  
Occasional Contributor: 10  
Intermediate Contributor: 50  
Regular Contributor: 100  
Advanced Contributor: 200  
Senior Conributor: 400  
 
That way your membership to the Club is granted as soon as you register regardless of the number of your posts. Later on, depending on how actively you become involved, you can earn various degrees of the title Contributor.
 
This scheme also avoids the word Junior which (as we have seen) can potentially offend or irritate people.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter
