Initiate

Initiate is the third rank on the LEGO Message Boards and is achieved at approximately 96 posts. It comes before JuniorBuilder, and after Journeyman. An Initiate is usually considered a "newbie", but most are figuring out the Message Boards by the time they're this rank.. They've also begun to explore more forums but are generally still learning about the Boards. Years ago, before the Great Migration, when the Message Boards were less populated, some Initiates had a stud. Today, users won't get a stud until they are at least an Artisan. It takes 189 posts to get to the rank JuniorBuilder from this rank. Unfortunately, many users retire during this rank.
