Apprentice

Apprentice is the first rank on the LEGO Message Boards. It takes just one post to get to it, so all users on the LEGO Message Boards would of had to have had this rank at some point in time, unless they have never 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,and then abandon the account afterwards. This occurs mostly in the Parents Forum.

Most Apprentices come, and then leave a couple of days later. For this reason, there is a topic called Adopt A Newbie, where older experienced users can try to teach newbies the basics of the MBs, and help them stay active. Countless Newbie Help topics were made as well.

Apprentice is the rank most people have on the LEGO Message Boards. 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 and such a small amount is required to reach the next rank. Journeyman is the rank after Apprentice, and it requires 48 posts to reach. There are not many Apprentices because they often lose interest in the LEGO Message Boards, or get confused. Many are down becuase the don't think that they can't get to Legend.
