I believe it is 1000 posts.  Wouldn't this have been better in a thread of it's own, maybe in the "News, Help & Assistance" board?

It is 300 - and I'm now splitting these posts off into a separate topic. CfN.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Thanks for clarifying CfN.  I was clearly thinking of another forum Tongue Cheesy

You are indeed 'well on your way', Penzance-Paddington.  Lips sealed

I'd perhaps say that having made 43 posts out of a target of 300 is more like 'making a start' to the journey, rather than being 'well on the way', but they all count!  Grin

No problem at all, Brucey!  Wink

Actually, as the question has been raised, I can offer the following additional information.

The particular forum software that we use does allow for the definitions of the various 'levels' of members to be chosen by the administrator(s).

In the case of our Coffee Shop forum, the following thresholds were selected (probably when this all started, back in 2007):

Newbie = 0 posts;
Jr. Member = 10 posts;
Full Member = 30 posts;
Sr. Member = 100 posts;
Hero Member = 300 posts.

Hope this helps!  Cheesy

However just to emphasise it is quality not quantity of posts we can move the goalposts if need be.

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
