I'm wondering why Zeviz decided to use the hardcore ascension tattoo from KoL in the first one.. I mean, is his keyboard not capable of doing that one? -------------------- "I'm not crazy!"

Slarty - you need an extra question to get some information about the length that responders have been members. For the newer members even my one year made some people consider me an oldbie. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Three fourths for the last definition. I don't get that guy with the white mustache at all. Black Marks and Black Mark Cabbages are still referred to nearly as often as sanity and fluffy turtles. Bush Enacts Exile Plan has been mentioned only 3-4 times in all the years since I came here. I wouldn't know about Patsi and Fumurr at all if I hadn't read the archives... somewhere. Desp, maybe? I'm sure they're no longer there... -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

i am higly amused that people consider me to be an oldbie. I guess it's the member number. For the record, I have only been here since November 2005, which make sm quite definitely not an oldbie. -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

It seems that some people never become 'oldbies' or to follow Aran's description, elders of the family. Some might just be that reclusive uncle that still lives in Grannies attic, but pokes his head into family affairs sometimes, or the somewhat crazed cousin that everyone dislikes when he comes by, which isn't often... etc. They aren't respected oldbies but over a large period of time they are a stable part of the forums. If someone had obviously been active for an extended period of time before I joined, I would consider them 'oldbies'. That tends to allow people in the # 2999 and less range. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

My opinion is that you graduate from newb-hood when Dikiyoba recognizes you in her writings. Or when you exceed 200 posts. Whichever comes first. And when you graduate from newb-hood, you move up to be a semi-newb. When you exceed 1500 posts, or have been a Spidweb member for at least three years, you become an almost-oldbie. And when you've been a Spidweb member for five years, you're an oldbie. And when you've been around forever, e.g. *i, you are above oldbiehood. Wow. I've had WAY too many kitty treats. I'm not usually this serious. [ Friday, February 16, 2007 13:21: Message edited by: Worf the Cat ] -------------------- Feed me. NOW. Posts: 3 | Registered: Friday, February 16 2007 08:00 |

Yep, it's me. I wanted to see how many people actually know who Worf is.

It is a very bad idea to equate oldbie status with post count. There are several newer users with amazing posting abilities... -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

I am offended, and this poll is incomplete. Poo-poo. -------------------- Maybe they're shocked. They might just be bug-eyed, not burglars.

A lot of posting could mean that they know a lot about the forums, help a lot...etc. And then there's some of us who go into hiding after five posts. And reappear years later. And still know next to nothing about the forums yet still are considered oldbies. An oldbie should be someone who helps out a lot and always knows what's going on. -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.
