I joined code guru on 2003. It's been 3 years but still a "Member". I think what I would not do to become an "Elite Member".

As I understand this status is set according to the number of posts posted. I use a Dial-up modem (i.e. through a telephone) and internet connection is still expensive though affordable in our country. So, I get to spend only 1-1/2 hours five to six times a week to browse dev-archive.

I think the status should also be set taking into some account on the number of years spent with dev-archive.

I understand this ploy to make the user participate more. A user may create a dev-archive account and never bother to participate in the forums. But I think myself as a regular participant.

Any word on this Moderators, please?
