Just out of curiosity, when does "New Member" come off your profile? I don't base a lot of my self worth off of online forum labels, but after 11 years of posting, I'm just trying to figure out how much longer I have to hang out with you bums... 
New Member status
- Thread starter MikeBickerson
- Start date
Actually, I think this is an artifact from a forum software upgrade a number years ago. IIRC, after the upgrade many (if not most) people were suddenly listed as "new members". I remember we discussed this at the time and Ben fixed it for some people.
It is a trophy point thing. I do not understand how that works. There are people here who have more trophy points than me and I have more than double the next persons post count. So how is that? Anyway, you had 29 and all you needed was 30. I bumped you up to 32. We need to find out how to get trophy points. I think at 100 you bump up again. Maybe.
This link to the help section has some info on trophy points, but it doesn't include information on when your "member status" changes:

I have twice as many posts as the next person who is bobpbx, I have twice as many "Likes" as the next person who again is bobpbx; however, I have half as many Trophy Points as Jerseyman and there are 10 other people who have more than me. So how does that happen? There has to be some other way to get points that involves something that I don't do the same as many others. It has always seemed odd to me.
And as we see with Mike you can go years and hardly get any.

I should see if there's a way to turn it off since even I don't understand (or really care to understand) how it works.
All I can say is "I"m proud to be a Piney from my nose down to my Hiney!"
