Veteran members are the oldies
2nd wave (the best of course) are from somewhere in late 2003 and 2005
From 2006 to 2007 we have the 3rd wavers
and we have a newbies category.
This obviously isn't official. It's just something i realized, let's see if someone explains it.
Welcome to a work in progress... based on what Liyoh said earlier about telling who's who at a glance, I'm trying to classify people into Veteran (2001-2003, when this was a true TRL fan site), 2nd Era (2003-2005, the transition period), 3rd Era (2006-present, current site format), and Newbie (registered in the last 2 months).
You will also show up as a Poster if you've ever been reasonably active, or a Lurker if you've barely said anything.
New members who post more than 20 times per day in their first 2 months on the site will be labeled "New Post *****"
I think Post Counts encourage people to become competitive and therefore inflate threads with a large %age of "lol"s and "lfr"s. What happened to real discussion?
Someone posted a chart showing ATRL's decline in traffic and i'm not sure if it's real but if ATRL is declining, it's because we're not doing anything worthwhile with the time we spend here. Right now the most popular things to do on ATRL is Argue, Post "Flop" on submission & ***** up the "Now Playing" thread. Do you really believe such activities can hold an audience forever? People like raguabros & ►Liyoh◄ are definitely doing a lot to turn the tide around here lately, but still so much more can be done.

Change is good.
If you are talking about the chart I posted, I found that with google
I don't even know what it's for, meaning what forum it's for.
