Fish symbols?

[fairwayphilly]

I'm a new member and I was wondering what's the deal with the fish symbolds below everyones username. When I started out it said "new member" under my name, now it has changed to an earthworm. Does it have to do with how many posts you make? How long you have been a member? What is the ultimate, the highest of all status fish?

bingo it is all about the number of posts you make, shark is the top so far but that is at 10,000 posts i am in the 300 range that is why i am a rainbow trout.
