Being new to these forums, I'm a bit confused

I understand because I'm new, the label under my name is "just boarded". When can I possibly expect to become a "first class passenger" or dare I hope...a "cruise director" like Malcolm. Or is that title reserved only for him?

Interesting Question!
And whilst we're asking, what the heck is your ICQ number in the profiles section?

Finally a plea to those that havent posted their location in their profiles, Please Do!
It is very interesting to see where the people who respond to your posts come from.
(Joe/Malcolm - How about making this an essential requirement?)

You have a long way to go to catch up to Malcolm. Believe he became a Cruise Director when he hit 1000 posts - correct me if I am wrong Malcolm.
Billybob - See that you are now a first class passenger after posting 10 times. Welcome!

I'm not sure at what count I got promoted, or why for that matter?

We had better ask Joe these questions, he is the keeper of the secrets! Mind you, maybe he like to keep them as secrets?
