FWIW, I get exactly where you're coming from.

Me too, I think that's why I like reading CC, the interface suits me.
Time and time again, on a search for something bike related, Bike Radar had answers when CC had none, but I would not join BR simply because I find the lay out not so easy on the eyes.

Jeez - it's a simple cycling forum (quite a nice forum too) but life's too short to fret about member classification.
The statuses/trophies etc are just a bit of light hearted amusement surely? Or do some members get their rocks off when they get a new 'award'?

If you look at it from someone who's just joined, could they be an incentive to stay and post.
More available for newer posters, those here longer possibly don't bother with them.

Thanks Shaun.
Right. So what I saw is actually a bug.
Edit: not a bug
Cool.
(and the way people have impugned my motives in this thread or told me things it was obvious from the screen grab in the OP that I already knew, makes me feel even more justified in asking the question. I hope the same people wouldn't pile on a newbie who asked about trophy points or member status. )

It's not really a bug though is it? It's just that you get a few trophy points now and again for being a member for a certain length of time. Enough over five years to rack it up to "active member" without even having to post a single thing.

You're right. I misread the what Shaun wrote. I thought the numbers were numbers of posts, not "trophy points" which are completely opaque to me. I have literally no idea what 250 trophy points means.

You can see what trophies and points people have via their profile pages. I guess the boss will have a comprehensive list somewhere.

Oh, here's an example

(not a newbie, but still, piling on ensues)
Edit: Not a newbie, but apparently driven away from this site in 15 posts.

My responses to that thread have been careful and considered, given the context and tone of the OP.
