Meaning of Type of Member One Would Be

What do the different names of memberships ("Jr.," "Full," "Sr.", "Silver," "Gold," etc.) mean?

In most cases it has to do with the number of posts made on the forums

I liked being an elite member. 

I wish mine would stay elite, but I post a lot and now I'm silver.

The different levels are just based on number of posts. The only real difference is that newer members have a 9 posts per day limit that eventually gets lifted.
