What determines the changing of the groups, I've seen people that have been joined for a while but have little post that are newbies, and i have seen people with a lot of post that have been on for a good length of time and are still newbs. When does it change? Do you know?

It has to do with the post count, I'm not sure what admin has it set at for changes, I never paid attention to it.

ok, thank you

Thats the way it works on most sites..................

ok well i was just wondering cause i saw someone that had like eighteen posts that was a "groupie" and i was just wondering when mine would change instead of a newbie lol
