I miss the stars. Weren't those based on when you signed up on the site? or became a member? It wasn't related to amount of posts I know that-

Funny how if someone came up to any of you and mistook you for being under 21 years old at a bar, you would be completely flattered.  Yet we're 'offended' by the Newbie status?  I would think people like Bob, Vern, Pete, Jeff, JD, Jim, etc, really wouldn't be too concerned.  Anyone is anyone already knows you guys are 'da man' in this hobby!

I'm much more concerned with where the popcorn emoji went?

Hmmmm, I had thought that it seemed kinda funny to go from "Hero" [member] to "Zero" [newbie]- now I see that I was not the only one  ::)

When the young lady at Hooter's said I had to show ID, I told her she could just bring me water, if she persisted.
Beer was promptly served. Hey, where's the beer emoji?

As an actual 'Newbie' from the pre-crash site, I'm not feeling too bad about my bottom rung status on this new site but I can understand how those of you who have been around a while might feel slighted by that title. But there is good news! As I recall I had 30-40 posts on the last forum and I was still a Newbie. It appears that you attain Jr. Member status after only 20 posts on the new forum so not only does the site run quicker, you're promoted quicker too!


And now I'm one post closer....

Well I wasn't a mega poster but I joined I think within a few hours of the creation of the forum...  Whatever status I had is now gone.  I feel diminished!

I'm a newbie here, because the old forum crashed. I'm not a newbie when it comes to Shelby autos, having owned 6S550 for more than 50 years. I've been a Shelby fan longer than that. Ron
Original owner of 6S550. Owned since 1967. 64,000 Miles, all body original except hood and front valance. All glass original except windshield. Still has aluminum 4 speed. Has replacement Mico.  Also own 1966 Mustang convertible. They are drivers, not trailer queens.

Shouldn't that be spelled newbee? What's a new by? Is that like a ute?
