Please tell me a little bit more about the indication of 'Newbie' mentioned normally for a user of this Forum.

Hi Jules,

The Newbie title signifies someone who has made less than 50 posts, and is slang for 'new person'.

Newbie     *     0     
Jr. Member    **    50    
Full Member    ***    100    
Sr. Member    ****    250    
Hero Member    *****    500    

As you have made 50 posts or more, you become a junior member!

The word Noob is used a lot in Gameing.
Calling somone a "Newbie" or "Noob" directly can easely be interpreted as an insult as it implies they are new and unskilled.

The groups can be changed, if you have some suggestions I'll entertain them!

Someone on another board mentioned 'fractartist' - which I liked.
