Bloody newbies, who do they think they are anyway just joining in like they own the place, they are a right bunch of plonkers if you ask me, you would never see Rodders doing anything like that.

But notice they have a lot of one word stuff must randomly post to build up my count even though have not alot to say instead of just reading and watching. :D

The 6 Stages of BE Membership

Newbie - Shows posts and wants karma bad. Intimidated by the "clique"
Semi-Newbie - Shows posts and still wants karma. Able to pick on newbies and trying to nudge into the clique
Regular - Shows Posts , wants Karma and distributes freely. Feels comfortable talking to most of the clique and has made friends
Semi-fixture - Hides Posts, shows Karma and still distributes. If they go missing for a day or two people will get worried.
Fixture - Hides Posts, Stars and starts to slow on the Karma. If they dont post within their usual hours friends will call 911 for them.
Demi-god - Hides everything, omnipresent on the boards. Able to scare newbies off with a single posting.

Just pay the $10 or however much it is for Premium membership and then you won't be restricted by the 65 x 65 pixel avatar size.
