Remember the good ol' days when join date elitism was the best way to be a dick on Facepunch? Whatever happened to it?
Not to say I'm not happy it's gone, it was annoying as fuck and completely unfounded (in most cases), but what changed to cause it to disappear?
People grew up maybe
Why would you even bring up a thread like this? Its probably because facepunch finally found out that it is completely retarded, and stopped doing it because it goes nowhere. Its good to just leave it be.
because it is banable and also dumb
'10ers/'11ers/'12ers just doesn't have the ring that '9ers had
04er on alt represent

Very true.
It's all about post count now.
all of you are scum 05 master race
Thank god it's gone.
This forum would have made a bad first impression if everyone picked on the new guy.
I probably wouldn't have come back.
Most of those that joined in 05 are a bit more grown up now. That and there aren't many of them left so circlejerking becomes harder.

I occasionally still have that voice in my head whenever I see a particularly stupid post. The one that just says "fucking 06'ers."
users with 20 in join date
new master race
People realised it was a waste of time because the quality of the posts of people who have been here since 05 is just as shit as people who joined recently.
The only people who could rightfully feel entitled to join date elitism are typically to old to give a fuck about a forum join date.
Fucking 09ers

I agree with this.
get the hell out of here you damn '05ers
10er master race :downs:

um
hmmm
NERD!!1
'10 master-race.
Some people were here alot longer than what their accounts say, because they were banned, forgotten password etc, so the elitism doesnt really matter.
When I first joined I thought all the people talking about '05ers and '06ers were talking about the year they graduated high school.
I have no idea why I thought that.
But that would make me an '07er
First '07er to post :dance:
No but seriously, a lot of join dates don't really matter since there's a lot of people that have lurked here long before creating an account.
Second '07er to post :dance:
Glennman is right; for example, I've been lurking since 2006.
This is the dumbest thing ever to nostalgia about
join date elitism falls apart when you realize that there are plenty of 05ers who are dumb as fucking rocks
I lurked two years before creating an account..
[QUOTE=TCB;34376002]It's all about post count now.[/QUOTE]
Not really. It's easy to see if someone is a post whore if they have 10k posts and joined a year ago.
Plus, there has been some database failure or some shit and people lost tons of posts. I lost about 7000 posts on my other account.

yeah
I miss smartness. I also miss the spellchecker.
And I miss the instaban when you used the word "nigger".

Not saying "new" facepunch is bad, I just liked the old one better.

And so I'm contributing to the thread, I think that's the reason join date elitism slowly died away.
