That's because you associate with the...<i>newbies</i>. *shudders*

You're all n00bs xD Unless, of course, you can remember the debates in the staff forum at the EZboard over whether to ban Bleys because he posted like three threads in one day.

I think we all wanted to besides Cid, who was, I think, the only one to post in them. xD

Cid knows best!

And you know you like word association threads!

Ya know this may be late in the conversation, but who the heck came up with the word oldbie (sounds like some kind of disgruntled eldarly person to me)

Word association was better than those threads Bleys posted. <i>Skydiving</i> stories. I mean, c'mon. And each story got a new thread.

I think it was Raistlin.

I first heard oldbie at MH and assumed that Brooke had made it up.

Made it up like she made up her life and death~

I see humerous as it is

Nah. If I had made up the term, it would've been a lot cooler than "oldbie."

"Newbie" was coined before "oldbie", but when a term to describe old members were necessary, "oldbie" was coined simply because of its resemblance and its easily identifiable inverse denotation to the previously coined "newbie".

"teenbie".

None of you can be an oldbie. Even I'm not an oldbie. It's not a title given out -- maybe if you were a member of highwind then you can call yourself an oldbie.

So there.

**Raistlin** · 08-24-2005, 03:12 AM

...You do realize that Asorie and I have both posted in this thread, Peegee, and we were both part of the original moderating team of The Highwind. Some kind of professor you are.

Oldbie just means you've outstayed your welcome. :|

No, I have Unne giving me piggy-back rides all over the place.
