Apprentice



Apprentice is the first rank on the LMBs. It takes just one post to get to it, so all users on the LEGO Message Boards have had this rank when they started posted.

There are hundreds of thousands of Apprentices, and most of them start out with a SPAM post on a random topic, although some start out with a bang. Others might also have started out by posting a topic (usually in the LEGO Universe Forum or Message Board Forum), though these are usually left empty and are soon forgotten, locked, or occasionally rejected due to the misunderstanding of the Apprentice. This occurs particularly often in the LEGO Universe Forum. Also, some Apprentices can be parents that create an account to ask a question, usually about building instructions or sets, then abandon the account afterwards. This occurs mostly in the Parents Forum.

Most Apprentices come, then leave a couple days later. For this reason, there is a topic called "How to Get Newbies to Stay" so we can make Apprentices stay on the Message Boards. A topic called Adopt A Newbie was also made, where experienced users can try to teach Newbies the basics of the MBs. Countless Newbie Help topics were made as well.

Apprentice is the rank most people have on the LMBs. There are not many Apprentices in HQs, and there are not many active Apprentices, so this is the only rank that doesn't make you double your post amount to get to the next rank. Journeyman is the rank after Apprentice, and it requires 48 posts to reach.,
