Stud Ranking
On the LEGO Message Boards, you will see eight studs above the person’s avatar’s head. Some may be yellow, and some may be white. The yellow ones are the ones that the poster has, and the white ones, the ones that they don't have. You gain one of these for having so many posts. What makes these different from the ranks, is that the amount of posts you need goes up as more people gain more posts. Therefore, you get a stud for being in the top so many posters.

LEGO MBs
Notes
- The Message Boards were updated in 2005 and were supposed to be updated again in 2011 along with the rest of the LEGO.com website, however, they were not. The LMBs were later updated on November 2, 2012.
- Before 2001, Moderators were trained to view the messages submitted to the Message Boards. In 2011, they trained a new group of moderators and since then, moderation has been much faster.
- Charge is seen on the front page in his Deep Freeze outfit.
