<p>I feel like I am in elementary school or something trying to get from one grade to the next.
Bring back all my posts from before CC changed and bump me up to EXECUTIVE MEMBER!! LOL</p>
<p>Angst, if they did that for me, I'd be "Deceased Member" (20,000+)</p>
<p>You counted!</p>
<p>Well see...it's better than Botox....how young and youthful us "junior" members must be!</p>
<p>The ironic thing is that most senior members are under 18.</p>

You counted!

<p>Not exactly...I got Provoked by someone and did a Search on myself, which yielded the total number of threads I had posted in, many with 7+ posts for thread, which seemed to be the maximum the Search would register per thread. And then I figured what small fraction of all those posts were on any political subject.</p>
<p>Just how many does it take to be bumped up??</p>
<p>Although I agree junior member has a plebian ring to it, one sports board I post on rewards its new members with the title "PeeWee Member". Isn't that awful? I'd have posted recipes for dog cookies to get my post count to the next level.</p>
<p>Be glad you're a junior member. It means you're not spending too much time posting on CC. Just yesterday, I was asked if I qualified for senior discount. I was not "gruntled." (Is there such a word, the opposite of disgruntled?)</p>
<p>How about some of these instead?</p>
<p>Rookie
Rank Amateur
Freshie
Greenhorn
Neophyte
Novitiate
Tenderfoot
Tyro</p>
<p>or maybe
"Currently Climbing up the Posting Ladder" (CCUTPL)</p>
<p>If I want to retain my youthful "junior" designation, I probably shouldn't respond. I'm getting close. But.... fredo, it takes 300 to get bumped up.</p>
<p>Hey,Texas137. We're both close to being "somebody". LOL. It reminds me of when Navin Johnson, Steve Martin's character in "The Jerk" exclaimed "The new phone book is here ! The new phone book is here! I am somebody!"</p>
<p>Marite, this should be the day I aspire to Member status; god knows I'm not getting much else done. Maybe I'll head over to the cafe. -1mm</p>
<p>Categories:</p>
<p>Just-Found-CC Member
Lurker Member
Tentatively-Posting Member
Conversational Member
Obsessed Member</p>
<p>I also don't like the designation "Junior Member."</p>
<p>Digmedia, I like your categories. They better descriptions than New/Junior/Senior member.</p>
<p>I never noticed the "Membership" designations. </p>
<p>But I like Digmedia's categories. Pretty good! As long as there is not one called "big member".
;-)</p>
<p>I'll leave that to the multitude of "other" message boards on the internet!</p>
<p>Jeez, I looked and my post count shows 4.5 posts /day. Sounded like a lot to me. Then I looked at some of the counts of a couple of the kids over at the Princeton Massacre and they have 3000 plus posts. I feel like such a slacker.</p>
<p>Cumudgeon, I never saw the "posts per day" count but just checked it out. Yeah, you are a slacker all right....mine is 4.6 vs. YOUR measly 4.5 and so nah nah nah nah....my "stats" are better than yours....
BUT you win as yours are WAY funnier!</p>
<p>PS, I wondered if CC uses "weighted" stats for post counts!</p>
<p>OH, and maybe we could have a "ranking" of CC posters...what a thought.</p>
<p>Marite:
About your 'gruntled' question... there's a line from a P.G. Wodehouse novel that goes "If Elmer wasn't disgruntled, he was definitely far from being gruntled...." .</p>
<p>Ah, artistic license. If politicians can invent words like 'strategery', we peons can be allowed our 'gruntled' :-)</p>
<p>Susan -</p>
<p>You are now in trouble for even THINKING about a ranking for CC posters! A timeout for you: Into the corner and face the wall. There'll be no more mention of such a dasterdly thing to do....</p>
<p>Hmmmm... it IS quite an interesting concept. I wonder where TheDad would rank? CC could even change their forums: Top-Tier Forum, Second-Tier Forum, Third-Tier Forum, and Posters-Nobody-Listens-To Forum. I think I'd know where I'd be! Hmmmm.</p>
