Blaze, I recommend checking the date of the last posts of anything before posting a comment, because you kind of necro'd a year old dead thread. No big deal though, just some people don't like dead threads being brought back up.
Also, for your question it says "Newbie" because you haven't posted many comments and threads on the forums.
Once you reach a certain amount of posts, your "Newbie" label on the forums will change.
It has nothing to do with how long you've been on the game. o3o
