Mako Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 I'm a little spam boy but anyway, but I was just wondering how many posts it takes before I'm rid of the stupid "newbie" title. I hate being a n00b. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate being a n00b. :p [/B][/QUOTE] But hopefully you aren't actually going to spammify us just to get to the junior-member-status, because then you're out of here in no-time! ;) And I think it's unnecessary to long for the upper status, because when you're junior member, you start to think "damn, I wish I was a full member", and after that - like in my case- being "merely" a member feels akward, so you want to become an "otaku" instead. A true vicious circle, indeed (though I'm not sure if I ever want to become a "no-life"... ;) ) Anyhows, welcome to the boards, Mako! I'm sure you'll have lotsa fun around here! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tend to post a lot in a short time. (you could look at my ffalpha post count if you need an idea of what I mean) And thanks for the welcome.

James Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 [color=#507AAC]A couple of points here. First, some people are newbies even though they have the "No Life" title. Perhaps Sara is the best member to go over the ins and outs of status being more a state of mind than text on a screen. Ahem. ^_^;; Anyway, these titles are based on time and not posts. In other words, the goal is not to post as much as possible in a short time. The goal is to post as you normally would (lesser numbers and higher quality) and let the title change when the time is right. That's really what we encourage. Do, it's best to ignore your title. It will change in due time. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality over quantity and all that rot. Although it [i]is[/i] annoying to be a 'newbie,' you'll find that the intelligent people here don't care how many posts you have. And as for the rest.. Well, we ignore them. Wheeee, that post was just [i]dripping[/i] with superiority...[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 26, 2002 Author Share Posted December 26, 2002 ^_^ When I say many posts in short time, I'm just refering to my personal posting style. I'll do my best to make my posts long and boring if any of you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 [color=blue][size=1]I know how you feel, Mako. Sometimes I hate this 'Newbie' status as well. The thing I hate most about it is how a lot of people associate newbies with bad grammar/post quality. But I'm slowly making my way up the ranks. Very slowly, lol ^_^. Well, just try to forget about your status and concentrate on your posting quality (not that there's anything wrong with your posting quality. It's actually pretty good). Welcome to the boards, by the way ^^[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemolth Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Bah! I miss my Newbie title. :bawl: And I'm not kidding either! :p Now if there was only a way to reverse time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemolth Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hmm...why delusional? Are you suggesting that I post like a Newbie? Cos if you are, I'm not sure whether to take that as an insult or a compliment. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I don't even know what mine is, nor do I particularly care. Personally, I don't associate newbies with bad grammar, I associate bad grammar with newbies. James tends to crack the whip on those who can't speak simple English (unless it's their second language or something), so that usually weeds them out before they get very far up the ranks.

Justin Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Yeah, I can't wait until I finally become a newbie. I've been waiting around forever with this same old stupid title. People always associate me with bad grammar and poor post quality because of it too. AYE HAIT MEE!! -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I wanna go back to being a Newbie for a very simple and selfish reason. People tend to think of Newbies as ignorant little kids. And there are few moments more satisfying than knowing you are being underestimated. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 Wouldn't it be better if the users were allowed to make their own title after x amount of posts and/or x amount of days registered? It can lead to interesting things. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 [b][color=003399]If it was for x amount of posts, it would probably lead to quite a few people constantly spamming to get their own custom titles.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyLynn Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 [SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=deeppink]Well I really didn't ming being a Nembie because its just a status. It changes nothing about who you are and what your like. But my status is fine and I probably wouldn't change it but who cares really. I just really hate when people say they hate Newbies. Well they might actually be nice people, I look past the Title and look at the person. Like me and Rain.... *hugs Rain.* Rain: Um......get off... Me: :( Rain: Fine!
