    It doesn't really matter. Oldbies don't really serve a purpose anymore within the framework of the community. Most have moved on and those who remain (like Raistlin) are merely shells of their former selves.

    Those of us who joined soon after the first vB era are momentarily at the height of power within the community, but our time is soon coming and as it's been evidenced in recent months with the transfer of ownership, some of us are starting to fade away and come irrelevant.

    What comes after is no doubt a system shaped by the likes of the latter vB and second vB populace (late '02 - early '04). I'd rather not be around to for that.

    I'm just an average! I've been here for two years, and I'm looking forward to more.

    In about 2 years I'll probably chance my name to something more sophisticated like "dagger" or "trepe", so people can say "Oh, there's that oldbie dagger!"

    This is my 3rd year. *is proud*

    Well, to me:

    Newbie: First 6-12 months depending on their personality and what have you.

    Regular: Been an active member for 1.5-3 years

    Oldbie (or Veteran maybe?) Been an active member for 4 years or more.

    I've been here about 4.5 years, closer to 5 years. I never want to be an oldbie, because then Raistlin will want me to kiss him. ;_;

    I've been here about...3 years, I think. I guess I'm considered a regular. Though I don't post much. ^_^;
