    Default How long do you think one has to be at this forum to be considered an oldbie?

    As the title of this thread says, how long do you think you must be at this forum to be considered an oldbie? How long is the newbie phase? Regular phase? Etc.

    More than three years. Newbie, one year. Regular, in between.

    This is assuming that the member acts somewhat normal (read: isn't a retard), and is active most of the time.

    You're a newbie for the first three months, and then a regular for like... I don't even know. I don't know when most people would consider themselves an oldbie, but no matter how long you've been here, if you didn't register in EoFF's first year then the real oldbies will throw spitwads at you. They're mean.

    The first year is the newbie stage IMHO.

    The Oldbie status is now unattainable, in order to be an oldbie, you must already be one.

    you're a newbie for the first 6 months imo because it takes about that long for most people to recognize your name..unless you post A LOT. You gotta be here for a loonnng time to be a oldbie.

    You have to have joined in either 1999 or 2000. If not, you're never going to be an oldbie, so thank whatever deity you believe in.

    Uhh... Raistlin fits those criteria, so that would make him an oldbie. DUH, BUNNY.

    He joined in 1972. 1972 is not 1999 or 2000. DUH, SHLUPQUACK.

    Current reports suggest he was designed as a viral weapon to irritate the entire population of EoFF with his incessant droning, to the point of their brains shutting down.

    I can't go to bed at night without reassuring myself that Raistlin is watching over us all.
