LinuxQuestions.org ranks

Hello, where can I find the LinuxQuestions.org user ranks? I did a search and didn't find anything about it.
Newbie = ?
Guru = ?
Etc
Thanks for any help.

I believe its in the FAQ. Newbiew is anyone under 30. Guru and LQ Addict used to be for anyone over 1000, but then that title was changed to Senior Member, and Guru went to everyone over 5000

Thank you.. Didn't think that would be in the FAQ's I will go check it out.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in WSF and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

when you get over 5000 posts you can choose between LQ-Adict and Guru.

It is indeed in the site FAQ.

when did this change? Do people who have the designation "LQ addict" or "guru" from before the change get to retain their designation?

I seem to recall a thread about it a few months ago, when the change happened. If you want to change your title, you need to mail Jeremy about it.

The change happened a good 18 months ago I'd say and was announced in this forum.
