Status of FC Members (Newbie, Full Member, Silver Member, etc.)

[Terryltemple]

 :-\I notice I'm still classified as a "Newbie."  How can I advance to Full Member, Silver Member, etc?  I've been a member since 2010 and never really thought about it until I started using the forum on a regular basis.  If I missed something during the initial signup, please let me know.

It has to do with how many posts you make on this board.    You're a newbie because of the number of posts you post, not many yet.  Someone will be along shortly, i'm sure,  with the exact numbers of posts required; but in a nutshell, the more you post is how you advance up the posting level ranks.

Here is the chart I remember seeing in the forum!

Jr Member-------------2---------------- 50-99

Hero Member----------5--------------- 500-749
Elite Member----------6---------------  750-999
Silver Member---------7--------------  1000-1999
Gold Member----------8--------------  2000-3999
Platinum...................9.................  .4000+

It is your forum posts that makes your classification status, and it has nothing to do with when you joined or how much money you have made.  In other words, you could have joined , way back in 2007 and made thousands of dollars; but if you made 0 posts, you are still a "Newbie")        I think 50 posts takes you to "full member", and you are not far from that, with 42 posts.  Next comes "junior member". then "Senior member".  At 500 posts you are "Hero member".   At 750 posts, you are "Elite member".  At 1,000 posts you are "Silver member".  At 2,000 posts you are "Gold member".  At 3,000 posts you are "Plaitimum".       Correct me if I am wrong on this.

  Well, I'll correct myself.  I had "full Member" and "Junior Member" , mixed up?  And it takes 4,000 posts to get to "platinum"

You're also missing out on the forum bonus by not posting more.
