Buzz has it right. It is 15 posts to graduate from new member to member. Moderators volunteer for it. Anyone is welcome to volunteer.

Hosts are people who post a lot of material to guitartricks. They apply to be hosts and are elected by the existing hosts. Hosts vote on how Guitar Tricks runs. For instance, they decided to put up this forum.

This forum is served at guitarforums.com instead of guitartricks.com because we were running out of bandwidth at guitartricks.

Question for you guys, are there people here who didn't get here from guitartricks?
