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

LOL You are definitely a newbie if you think 4K posts is a lot. :D

Oi Rodders .... if you want to be more than a newbie then you have to get yourself an avatar.

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.
