My point?
Everyone knew who Devil Man was before he was banned and he wasn't even around for a year. Recognition means nothing - time is all there is... well there's also Shlup.
I tend to think (no offense to those with the title) that RM title doesn't mean much. If I were to look at the list of members I would only recognise some of them, and that recognition has nothing to do with tenure as an active member.
I've pretty much continuously been an active member in this forum for six years now (with some periods of inactivity due to RL issues), but that doesn't mean anything because the membership and population changes quite dynamically.
PS: where's Dr Unne
78!
Oldbies are a myth like Bigfoot or Canada. They want you to think you can attain such a status so you stick around. It's all one huge manipulation.
Whilst on the forum index, I saw this threads title cut short to:"How long do you think one has..."an I thought the rest of it would be "to live" for some reason. An then on seeing that this topic is about oldbies, because when I think of oldbies I imagine them as being decrepit, an therefore not far from death, it's amusing me.
i always considered someone a newbie if they didnt have a custom title. or if half there posts had to be edited by a CK because they didnt read the rules.
a regular if none of the above, and you post somewhat often.
oldbie if you have a Recognized member title or you're always talking about the old days and you're still not too sure what this whole internet thing is about. technology sacres you. NES graphics amaze you.

Oldbie is 1999.
If you need to ask, you can never be one.
When I decide to post, I post lots, when I not to post, I don't post at all. If you don't like the way I post add me to your ignore list.Quote:

The point is still made about recognizable-ness versus olbie-status though. :o
Isn't it clear such a status is now unattainable though?Quote:
