Members automatically move up through the ranks based on how long you've been a member and how many posts you've made.
Registered members are the newest with fewest posts.
Authorized members have been members longer and hit a minimum post level to move up.
Friends of Wrox is just a fun name I made up for people who are long time members with a lot of posts.
Authors actually write books, they aren't staff. Staff includes me, other editors, marketers, our web team etc.
