How To Become An "Active" Member

What is an Active member?

An "active" member, is a user that has made 10 (or more) posts in forums that count within the past 30 days. Posts that are made in forums that don't count or that were made outside of the previous 30 days are not counted, it is a "Rolling Counter".

How Close Am I?


You can tell how close you are to being an "active" member by looking at your user profile.
  1. Click on your username (or avatar on mobile) in the toolbar at the top of the forum:

I've Made 10 Posts, Now What?


At 20 minutes past every hour, a script runs that promotes users that have met the criteria for being an "active" member". If you have met the criteria and the promotion has run, you will see a user banner that states "Active Member". Your user banners can be found in 3 places:

To the left of any post in the user postbit:
