Rase is completely right. There's a huge difference between a newbie and n00bs. I love newbies and I love being a newbie. The freshness of everything in the beginning is great. N00bs don't get much love from me though.

In any case, it's silly to complain about a best "newbie" award and if you get offended by that award and leave the forums, then you don't belong here anyway.

And my suggestion about changing the newbie/regular/veteran wasn't about changing the periods of time, it was about adding a new category to that bunch. The current time periods are fine, I just think we need a new category for people who have been here for like, over 3 or 4 years.

As for post counts... well, it's quality not quantity.
