I've noticed that members of this forum are given different statuses. I'm an 'active member' but there are also 'new members' and many more. Is there a list somewhere of what the different ones mean?

It's only a "feature" of the forum software.
I feel the technical contribution of a member is much more interesting.

idle curiosity:
how come zoidberg with 2934 messages is a well-known member and kingfisher 5 with 4183 is an active member then?
and ghostlymoron with 9068 is a measly active member?

yep, and there was some form of network (in order to have some sort of remote operators communicating) then as well?
smoke signals converted into steam to run Babbage thing?

Status is dependent on how many 'likes' a poster is given. I asked the question on the Forum Feedback page and was told the info.

Is this the culminating achievement of my entire life's work? To be popular on an internet forum?

Ah well, as Robert Louis Stevenson wrote: "Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits!".

Interesting, thank you all. How do you get Trophy points and 'likes'. It seems that despite my impressive number of erudite posts and long membership (15yrs), I'm not liked enough. 
I've just noticed the like button. Will someone please use it?

I don't recall the 'like' button being available on the old forum format.

To put it in some form of perspective imagine in a job interview mentioning you are a “ well known member” would it cut any ice?
