New to these forums but not bitcoins

about 2 years now.. Anyway how do I become a member.. I'm tired of beings a JR member and wanna upgrade

Thanks everyone for info

In time your ranking will go up, just be patient and keep posting. I think people reach member status after about a 2-3 month period. After you hang out a few months on the forums (and posting) you will reach Full Member status, this happens within half a year.
The more mathematical and detailed explanation is:

Upgrades
   0 Posts: Brand New
   0 Activity: Newbie
   30 Activity: Jr. Member
   60 Activity: Member
   120 Activity: Full Member
   240 Activity: Sr. Member
   480 Activity: Hero Member

What is activity?
   Activity = min(time * 14, posts)
   Increase activity by posting.
   Activity is updated every 30 minutes.
   Maximum of 14 activity every 2 weeks.

Wait Times
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
   waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
   waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
   waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

I knew how the activity was calculated and about the rough time you have to wait. But I didn't knew about the exact algorithm being used to determine that time! Thanks!
