newbie ??

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Almost three years ago, I made a list of every person I considered to be a veteran, and everyone who wasn't on the list was a newbie. I haven't looked at the list since I first made it, but I'm pretty sure not too much has changed.

????> Custom title? and my join on date is just a few months after yours.

wait nm I didn't see yours Well you never realy posted atleast in GC until recently sorry

[Citizen Bleys]

If you have to ask that question...yes, you're a newbie. When you're not a newbie anymore, you won't have to ask, and you probably won't care.

For what it's worth, I remember the newbie days of everyone who has posted in this thread.

Kishi's newbie days were more memorable (and less numerous) than the rest of them combined

Embrace the life of a newbie and the life of a newbie will embrace you!

Back in my more or less Newbie days I posted somethig in the Xenogears forum (yes, there used to be one) that was close to "I'd sure hate for my hibiscus to get a "something". It was a quote from the girl that said it about a flower in the Xenogears game and Kishi closed it. I PM'd him to ask why and he yelled at me I too, used to post like a newbie!

[Resha]

[lulusgirl]

I usually consider people noobs as long as they've got bad spelling/grammar and mostly posts pointless posts.

Yup. Those qualitys just hold you back a couple of months.

Simply the fact that so many people had to come out and ask (like a newbie, I might add) whether or not they are newbies proves in my mind that they are still newbies.

And I hold no illusions as to my own newbie-hood. I've been here for 363 some odd days, almost a year, but I've had something like a 6-month hiatus where I never even looked at this site. And I am most definately a newbie.

everyone is a newb!

My registration date says I've been here nearly two years, but that's because I made an account once, posted a couple times, then forgot completely about at and was on hiatus from the internet altogether. I just recently starting posting regularly, so I can be considered a newbie in that regard.

I think whether or not one is a newbie is a very subjective case, one where registration date and post count are irrelevant. I think it's a mentality, rather. I'm in the habit of completely ignoring post count and registration date when reading posts in a thread, because I've been to a couple forums, one I'm a long-time member of, where the so-called oldbies would spend more time harassing the newer members then they would setting a good example. Additionally, the importance of a high post count caused an unbelievable amount of spamming. The situation escalated to a point where the administrators resorted to removing post count and reg date information from the thread displays.

I don't entirely believe that a person can come onto a forum and not receive a little "newbie treatment" in good fun, but I've seen it taken to the exteme, and it is ugly (forum drama!!).

By the way, I've seen arguments develop that there's a difference between a "newb" and a "n00b", and the argument isn't that bad. The newbie would simply describe a person new to the forums, and isn't representative of posting habits, whereas a n00bie could be a person who has spent any length of time on the boards, may continually spam and really just fits in with "n00b mentality", if you will.

Thats pretty much why post counts were taken away from here, from what I hear. I think we set a good example with our Noobers. As long as they don't break any of the rules they don't get any negative treatment. If they do, they're informed what they did was wrong and we move on.
