While I'm at it; Any idea on how the prefixes regarding the join date are handed out?
I've only seen a handful of elders around, some with join-dates later than mine.
No bans or violations on my part, as far as I am aware.
I'm pretty sure that I've figured out the criteria for almost every prefix by just watching people's prefixes change over the past couple of months or so. Here's what I've found:
-1 year without a ban = Honorable
-2 years without a ban = Noble
-3 years without a ban = Exalted
-4 years with a non-recent ban history = Veteran
-5 years with a non-recent ban history = Senior
-6 years with a non-recent ban history = Elder
(I say "non-recent ban history" since it takes awhile for a member to regain a prefix after a ban.)
The Intrepid and Fabled prefixes are a lot harder to determine what it takes to gain them, but I do know that they require a lot of forum activity and are unaffected by a non-recent ban history. My guess is that it takes a certain daily or weekly post quota sustained for a certain period of time, maybe a month or so, to gain the Intrepid prefix. In that case I think that the Fabled prefix would simply be either a larger post quota over the same amount of time, or the same post quota but sustained for a longer period of time, I'm not too sure though.

I most certainly have a firm grasp on how things work here, and I believe this is my first post in this thread :)
But, I have a small, miniature concern/question. Okay, I have basically been here two years. 1 Warning for necroposting, and 1 two week ban for replying to spam. Other than that, no problems with me. So, I'm just wondering why I am still a "member"? Like I said, it's not a big deal or anything, I really don't care too much for a certain title. But, I remember when the member title update was done here a few months back, I was Heroic for a long time, fluctuating between Heroic and Legendary, but when the update went live, I was an Honorable Member.
I was cool with that, then I got my 2 week ban, and ever since then I have been a "Member". So, I guess my only real question here is does this sound normal? I know you don't have all the answers Duardo, just wondering if it sounds normal to you?
Just through observation, it seems as though it takes roughly 3-6 months for a member to begin to regain their former title after a ban. However, I'm not too sure if the severity of the ban has a large role in determining how long it will take to regain a title.
