Ne'er said it was. This mini-conversation actually goes back to demondude's remark of his being recognized. :P Well there you go, we agree that you can't work your way into being an oldbie.
I doubt I'll ever be a regular or an oldbie at this forum. I can't be nothered to make long posts.
I don't think time is the correct way to measure oldbieness. I think smell is the way to go.
Newbie: smells like fried chicken
Regular: smells like wood
Oldbie: smells like a wet dog that just dropped a poo with beige maggots in it.
That can't be true, that would make me an 'Oldbie' and I'm nowhere near cool enough to be an 'Oldbie'. It's like an exclusive club where you have to be this cool to enter and I'm only this cool. Your logic is flawed.
That said, people who care about officaly being an 'Oldbie' are invariably insufferable idiots, on par with Image Macro users and people who try far too hard to be wacky.
im a two year member and im know threwout the #eoff world as that chick that can draw and cant spell and likes to call the forums #eoof!

It's times like this I knew my original join date, which I'm pretty sure was late 2000. regardless. you can't just BECOME an oldbie once you hit a certain anniversary of your registration. it's more of a character thing. either you are (RSL) or you aren't (demondude55). there's probably a certain length of time after december 5, 1999 that constitutes guaranteed oldbie status, too.
I hearby anoint myself 'Grand Lordmaster General of the People', a title that is equaly as valid as this 'Oldbie'. The requirements to being a 'Grand Lordmaster General of the People' are simple, you must be me.
As a 'Grand Lordmaster General of the People', I am super cool and get to join the 'Grand Lordmaster General of the People' club, the most exclusive club EVER. I'll probably start my own spinoff forum, call it something witty, then shut it down due to inactivity because it's just that goddamn exclusive.
If I understand the logic of these other groups correctly, this makes me the coolest guy in the world ever.
I think to be a regular oldbie your join date shouldn't be the real one!
I know I'm a newbie, but I'm here as a lurker from 2001 so I must be oldbie lurker!:cool:
