Why do you care, anyway? Look at me. I've been around the boards for a while, yet my last account got messed up, so I had to get a new name back in January. Do I care that my registration date is now Jan. 2002, even though I've been around for well longer than that? Absolutely not. So don't let it bother you. The only time I worry about regisration date is when the poster is being immature, annoying, or asking dumb questions. Borb II, as long as you're respectful and mature (like everyone should be) then I, for one, won't give a damn when you registered. If you're disrespectful and immature, I'll always look down on you, no matter how long you've been here.

On my side or back. I can sleep on my stomach again but find no reason too since the last tattoo on my back is all healed up.

David Arthur is EVula with a little more tact. Fear the dictators.

Actual Post Now:
Newbie is an odd word, with different meanings when people use it. Compared to David Arthur, I am a newbie, yet compared to Grundulator, I'm not.
In the broader sense of the word, Newbie is based on Self-Esteem boardwise, so once you give up the fear of being a newbie, you are no longer one. Hope I helped.
As for the three-headed hellhound, it's happily chewing on esponer's hand. it'll be a while before he even notices. The tradition of "beating in" the newbie, is passed down. Eventually, when you get strong on the boards, hopefully you'll pass it down to the next newbie....
sigh ah, the traditions...

I'm not sure if I should be honored or if David should be offended.

Yeah, when did you actually join? I know that I'm in an "older of the oldest" group, but I believe you are more of an "oldest of the oldest" type of person.

Oh oh! Am I a newbie! (I just had to say that since most people still bitch at me about this.)

Anyway, you shouldn't care about status. There are oldbies that are complete morons that act like 2 year old kids. Then there are newer people that are very good members. Just be who you are and I'm sure you'll do fine.

That's why I think of the word "newbie" as either a statement of how old the person is in the community or how old the person is mentally; I can think of a few people that are newbies, even though they've been around for a while.

Luke's Dictionary
newbie: n. 1) A complete idiot; jerk. 2) Someone who has only been on the boards for a maximum of a few months and still doesn't know their way around.

Whoever posted this topic, I forget your name already, Welcome to the boards! here are some tips:

1. Never capitalize forge.
2. Don't go into B&B; ("Escape Velocity Banter and Brawl") for a while.
3. Don't post topics about the Disco Bison or other things that you think might have been discussed before. The same thing goes for if you have a question about a mission string. Use the search feature. (Look in the top-right corner of the screen.)
4. Don't ask about karma. It has been discussed many a time before. Also don't ask why some poeple have special titles under their names in place of the word "member." Let the search feature be your friend.
5. David Arthur is one of the smartest people on the boards.
6. EVula is the coolest, most froody moderator you will ever see.
