When does the “New FlightAware Member” disappear from under one’s username in the forum? I know most people are “FlightAware Members”, while some from 2005 are “Charter Members”. Is this based on time spent as a member, or number of posts in the forum? I’m still “New”, registered on December 7, 2007, and have forty posts as I write this.
Help would be appreciated.

I believe it’s after 50 posts.

Charter Members were the early users, and you’re a new user in the forums until you hit 50 posts.

Thanks for the information. Won’t be long now!
