What does "Leecher" mean.

Well, I have just recently returned to RS and Sythe and I requested the accounts I own on sythe (because I forgot username due to the fact I haven't been on since '08 xD)
I replied to a topic about the new spell graphics blahdy blah and noticed under my name it says "Leecher" I was just wondering the folowing:

What does this mean and why is it under my name? :<
Is it just a status like Newbie, Forum Addict etc you get for not logging on?

Thanks all

 

It's just a rank title, it will change as your post count increases.

We call new members 'leechers' since they take advantage of the services that the forum offers without having posted much to contribute. It's a mock reference to leeches, a blood-sucking parasite.

Soon you'll become a member, then an active member, eventually a forum addict, a guru, etc. (As long as I've been here, I don't actually know the ranks. >.>)

 

Here is a brief overlook of what all titles and ranks are on sythe.org
