I want to know when you think someone stops becoming a newbie. My personal opinion is 3 months, cos then you have learnt the rules and avoided being banned for being n00bish.

3 months is the noobies cutoff for the ciddies too.

You sure you aren't making this thread to see if you're "newbish" still?

Anyways, I think the question is silly, you can not be "newbish" if you read the rules the first day, they're usually all the same rules for all forums, and they're pretty common sense.

8 Months, if they have a custom title, they've proved they're not N00bish and been here long enough to not be a newbie. Though some people lose their sense of e-humour and become mod-whores. It doesn't really matter that much. Unless some of the oldbies have Newbiephobia.

This forum's actually pretty clear about this stuff. Because of The Ciddies- you know when you're a newbie, a regular and a veteran.
Being a noob doesn't really come into that. You can have been here for years and still be a noob. Being a newbie isn't such a bad thing. You get laughed at it, but in a loving way. Becasue you have every potential of being a well-loved veteran. That's always the way it is, isn't it? New kids get laughed at, but it's nothing personal. It's just everyone else deserves to be able to pick on someone.
If you're a noob, people will always hate you. In a hating way.

Of course, you can just wait for the site's anniversary. They make a few jokes, disguise you as Jebus, and you get stuck with a custom title. Months before you should have one. :)

Definitly not, anyone could do 100 posts in a few minutes. It counts for nothing.

When you've matured enough to have a vaild input on topics. If you just say "Oh when your 5 years old tehee" you just might still be a noob or have newbish tendencies.

As soon as someone seems to fit in and you can't really remember what it was like when they weren't they, they're no longer n00b.

A newbie is not a newbie after about 3 months
But someone can be a n00b forever
Its all about attitudes people

Bad example. Even as a "noob" I used correct grammar unless I was being ironic.

I'd say when you start being able to make valid contributions to the discussions. And when you start getting a feel for the forums. (That, btw, is not the same as knowing the rules.)

You have to fall out of favor with every CK....only then will you be not a newbie.

Time and postcount have no bearing on how 'noobish' you are. You could have been at EoFF for 3 years, but if you never stray out of the X-2 forum you're still a noob.

Tavrobel

If you think FFX and FFX-2 should always be considered "together", since they are, as EVERY REAL FF fan knows that they are completely the same, then you are a newb.

If you like Jeff Foxworthy, well, I got news for you.
You just might be a *snip*

If you like FFX-2 at all, you just might be a newb.

If your name is Raistlin or Psychotic, well, there's no hope for you at all.

Usually, but if your first custom title is 'I LOVE CLOUD AND MARRY HIM 4EVA' then no.

I don't really worry about when someone joined. Some people fit in right away, some people take a little longer, some people never do. Discovering this site later than others should be no reason to be looked down upon.

So basically, we have come to the conclusion that if you are over-obsessed with Final Fantasy, you are still a n00b?

Well this may just expose me to the forums for the 'n00b' that i am but:

1. What is a custom user title?
2. How do i obtain said custom user title?


be gentle.

Custom title is under the users name.

You can get your own custom title in being here for 8 months

I was only ever a newbie on this forum, as this was the first one I ever joined. I beleive it is how you act that makes you a "newbie". Some people can fit right in, some cant

Lost Number

Some people are eternal n00bs in their attitudes. However, n00b is also how you are treated. You are no longer a n00b when you have sufficent strret cred that people can say, "Hey, Lost Number! What a bloody eejit!" or "Oh no, its Gull. I hate that guy."

or the FFVII forum for that matter.

When someone insults your favorite Final Fantasy game and you sacrifice them upon your Squeenix altar for it, then you have Newb flowing in your veins. And, for the record, I just did this today around noon. That will teach Jimmy not to insult MY Fantasy!

Or really any one forum.

I've yet to fully grasp why people are concerned about being a "newbie" or not.
