    Still new member?? wtf?

    I've been studing the info here for years now??

    Its a great site!!

    I know I don't post much... but I try not to post unless its in my realm of expertise.
    And I understand how to use the search function... to avoid the annoying repeative questions!! HAHA!

    Anyway to change my 'tag'??

    what Tag?

    are you talking the title under your name??

    You can get a custom title after 3000 posts. it has nothing to do with length of membership

    Yea... thats what Im talking about..

    I just busted 50.. so it changed to junior member.

    Ive always been impressed by older members and low post counts, didn't realize that it was the sole basis for 'status'

    Well the older members who do post a lot and have there unique title deserve it. They have put effort into getting the info out to members. Just my opinion though.

    It's not so much status as it is a perc for being around and contributing to the board. Even if that contribution is just in the lounge. It keeps the board going.

    Now status comes when your name changes color. That shows that you earned that status and help the board with your knowledge.

    ^nope.

    post count is all that matters.

    content doesn't matter.

    higher post count=more respect on the board

    with my experience on web forums...

    Im inclined to give more credibility to an long term member with a modest post count...

    Than a 6 month or 1 year guy with a high post count.

    One the one side.. the guy fluffin the board with a bunch of mindless dribble... on the other the guy responding with real knowledge on a topic that catches his interest..

    Im just sayin....

    But I digress, my post count is well below modest proportions. I should contribute more...
