Alrighty, I think it's time I should put this out, since I think we're still calling some of our established members as "newbies" for too long. According to the Ciddies "rules" of what a newbie is, basically they are a member of EoFF who joined between 2009 and 2010. That's two full years of being called a newbie, and by Ciddies standard, that'll give a member four opportunities to win Best Newbie, which I think should only be won once.

Why should we call a member who have a custom rank a newbie? Aren't newbies members who have recently joined? Shouldn't it be just a year rather than two? For this, I want to introduce a new member rank... the Sophomore. A member who's been around longer than a year who recently gained their custom rank! They're not exactly a Regular, but definitely not a Veteran/Oldbie. So, current Ciddies standard of member rankings go like this.

Newbie, a person who registered between 2009 and 2010.
Regular, a person who registered between 2008 and 2007.
Veteran, a person who registered between 2006 and 1999.

In simpler terms, a Newbie has been a member for less than two years, a Regular's been a member for two to three years, and a Veteran's been a member for longer than three years. What I want to do is add the Sophomore in between the Newbie and Regular, so it should appear something like this.

Newbie, a person who registered in 2010.
Sophomore, a person who registered between 2009 and 2008.
Regular, a person who registered between 2007 and 2006.
Veteran, a person who registered between 2005 and 1999.

So... how about it? Should we introduce this new rank of sophomores, so that members, like Clo and Rebellious Eagle, do not have to identify themselves as a "newbie" despite being around long enough to own custom ranks?
