Down graded

Well, after a short abscence from DCMag, I click on my toolbar link to DCM and end up here!!!!
Not only that, after struggling to sign in, when I finally get here, it seems I have gone from the fourth highest forum poster to a lowly 'junior member'. After being on the site since the beginning surely we merit a bit more respect than that?
At 54, I don't feel very junior, and where have all me mates gone?

It's a new site so all posts on DCM are deleted. Being a Junior means that you haven't posted alot of posts - not that you're young (obviously)

Hmm, yes, I gathered that Mark. I've been around a bit you know. I think that 'junior' is best used to describe the young and hapless - surely 'new member' would have been more suitable? But hey, what do us old folk know........................

"Junior" is probably a default setting in the forum software.

Yes it is a default setting, but one that can be changed in a blink of the eye. Any Admin can do it. Keep posting and you'll soon become a Senior member, (even if you're 12)

Nonsense - you have to at least 18 to join the site.

For goodness sake - considering how much talk there was on the DCM forums about the changeover to this site were people living under rocks?!

I suppose thats what the "owner of the longest thread" thread does for you...

At my age, I'm happy to be called 'Junior'
