Artisan

Artisan was the 7th rank on the LEGO Message Boards and it took 1,504 posts to achieve. This rank comes after Craftsman. If you were semi-famous on the LEGO Message Boards, you were usually at Artisan and about half-way to Inventor. Often at that point, you became more popular, and people would pay more attention to you and your posts. There were around 150 Artisans. An Artisan could have only 0 or 1 studs, because the second stud was only available to Inventors as a result of a mass of users who ranked up. In the past they used to have many studs, like 4, 5, 6 or 7, and possibly even 8, when the LEGO Message Boards were less popular. It top about 3,008 posts to get to Inventor, and Artisan was a half way mark.
