I've been here four years and I'm still a noob

To be honest, with the current periods of time in place that qualify members as either Newb/Vet/Reg, I reckon a Newbie might as well be a Regular. Maybe you could leave Newbie as it is but stretch out Regular a bit so that Veteran will also get pushed back.
