Today, theymos, has released a new change in forum rank, for Newbie and Jr.member rank.
In this new rank system, you need to have 1 merit to become a Jr.member. All exist Jr.member accounts with 0 merit are demoted back to Newbie rank.
So, the new rank system will be as below:

Rank   Required activity   Required merit
Brand new    0   0
Newbie   1   0
Jr Member   30   1
Member   60   10
Full Member   120   100
Sr. Member   240   250
Hero Member   480   500
Legendary   Random in the range 775-1030   1000

And, again, don't blame, don't complain. This makes the forum better, reduce spam, shitposting.
To help you rank up easily, theymos has added  36 new merit source. Keep good posting and merit come for you. Believe me, 1 merit is not difficult if you could contribute some good post.
That's all. I hope you can read and understand instead of a new waves of new threads about why my rank back to newbie blah blah...
