Month of the Newbie?

[Rye]

I'm noticing A LOT of threads about newbies lately. Does this usually happen in July? Is July the month of the Newbie?

To give this thread a purpose, what month did you join EoFF? I joined in December 2002.

[Jebus]

They're like locusts. Rising up every year to consume the forum.

I joined in August. :D

[Cz]

I joined in May. I'd guess that most newbies join during the summer, since they're all looking for something to do. Throughout the rest of the year, they're bogged down with work.

[Agent Proto]

I joined in August 2000. Around the same time Shlup registered, meaning we're like.... newbie buddies, or something.

[Rusty]

I joined in April :)

Now that school and homework is gone, what ele will teens do but join a Final Fantasy forum? :p


And I joined this month.

[Flying Mullet]

I joined in March. Yeah, they usually are thick in July. Newbies tend to be born in early spring and reach maturity in mid-summer (like July) when they spread their wings and leave the nest to start joining forums.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I'm to lazy to click my profile to look. So I don't remember.

[Loony BoB]

I'm an August kinda guy. Can an admin take a screenshot of registrations for the past twelve months? That'd be neat.

[Cz]

You can sort the Members List by join date. That would give you a rough idea.

Hang on, I'll check...

From a (very) brief examination, it would appear that most newbies tend to join between May and August.

[Loony BoB]

You can sort the memberlist by join date, but there's a stats thingy that shows you a daily/weekly/monthly registration tally in vB3's admin CP. For example, here's a snapshot I took of my weekly registrations since I re-started Aiyon's forums.

[Cz]

Bah. My solution has a low-tech, rustic feel to it. :D

[Rainecloud]

They're obviously all second-accounts to keep us amused.

[Rye]

Wow, I would think people would join more during the winter and autum because everyone is on vacation in the summer and are busy with going outside and stuff.

Or at least, some people are. xD

[Psychotic]

August 15th, 2002, a date that will life in infamy.

Or...not.

I joined as I just got FFX, so yeah.

[kikimm]

I joined in january. i was tired of always coming up as a lurker--I wanted to be recognized!

but yeah, i agree the reason people join in summer months is because they have nothing else to do. These forums have helped me keep at least some of my sanity.


:D

July 15th. *__*

[Kirobaito]

June 29th. I was at my grandparents' house, I think. I don't remember why or anything.

[Baloki]

I joined cos a friend was on here and Xander got him banned :(

[Yamaneko]

August 2001. Before Leeza, but after Shoy. :(

:D

[SpiritWolf]

I joined in March of 2004

[Shoeberto]

September 2000. Yes.

And I don't recall this ever being a big deal in the past...but come to think of it, for me, rushes of newbies always seem to be more noticeable during summer. Dunno.

My birthday! :D

[Kirobaito]

Oh yes. I joined because it was your birthday. I thought "Ya know, Jess's birthday is today, who is a person I don't know, but I figure I might as well join a forum that she won't join for another 18 months." That's <i>exactly</i> how it worked.

[-N-]

I joined in March 2001.

I'll have to go with Flying Mullet's theory supported by Czanthor's proof. Good work, gentlemen. :D

[nik0tine]

[square_is_the_best]

It was the last week of May of this year.

[870621345]

[Meat Puppet]

I joined on December 30, 2003.

[Mo-Nercy]

I myself joined in Month of the Newbie, 2 years and 2 days ago.
