When does one become an oldbie?

[escobert]

Haha. I think I'm still a newb.

[XxSephirothxX]

For being considered a "newbie," I think behavior is the most important thing. If someone's only been a member for a month, but can type well and isn't an idiot, I won't ever think of them as a newbie, whereas someone who's been a member several times as long, but still acts like a stereotypical n00b, gets to keep the label.

As for oldbies....I'd say at least two years, and, again, behavior counts a lot. Someone with a distinctive personality and intelligence.

[escobert]

So I really am still a newb xD

[Little Miss Awesome]

Up where? And why is eestlinc "up there" with me? =o

Do not fear good sir! It simply means I would not insult you as you are an important fellow, perhaps as important as esstlinc!

...now you insult me. ;_;

I insult you not! You are Raistlin!

[kikimm]

Isn't that all the more reason to insult him, or something?

[-N-]

Raistlin doesn't have any feelings. *stones*

[Del Murder]

1 year, 6 months, 4 days.

[GrimmReaper]

oldbie is a state of mind. *nods*

[Shoden]

Is it true that if you kill an oldbie you become an oldbie?

alright keep still this will hurt me more than you *draws BFG 900*

One can't just claim to be an oldbie. You have to be recognized as one. If you're recognized as an oldbie, then albeit, you're an oldbie. IF you consider yourself a newbie, no way in chance can you be an oldbie.

Agent Proto? Are you new here? :o

Welcome! :D

I don't agree with the first part. What other people say don't matter.

But then, "oldbie" and "newbie" are relative terms(old/new compared to what?), so are unequivocably pointless.

I remember back in #mh, we used to marvel at how one member wasn't ever a newbie at all, and we were trying to figure out when she joined because it was like she had been there all along @_@.

but that was a long time ago on intarwebz servers far far away.

[eestlinc]

you can't become an oldbie until you are so jaded that you stop even bothering to post.

[Shlup]

You're not an oldbie unless you've been around since the EzBoard. New people will be allowed to become oldbies after the keyboard is pried from my cold, dead hands.

I qualify as an oldbie? I didn't know that. I feel so dirty.
