A Rookie after 15-16 years?

I've been a member of this for almost 16 years (some 5,000+ Survivor Picks'),

and yet I'm still a Rookie :-)

I guess they base it on number of posts, but that is 'flawed' somehow (I could have just continuously posted idiotic bs all these years, I guess :-)

I don't really care that much, but to call me a Rookie after all this time is really weird :-)

It's the year.
