What i find ironic is that most people criticizing OP for being a newcomer are basically newcomers themselves. (09'ers) That's not say i'm not one but, i watch what i say and lurk.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;20638653]Two posts proving that even being here a while, and you can still shit post.[/QUOTE] No you only learn how to shitpost properly after being here for a while. Just wait till you see the GMF.
[QUOTE=Luleychan;20637840][url]http://www.facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=60[/url][/QUOTE] That doesn't make it right.

Not being a newcomer is not measured in [I]months[/I], not even [I]years[/I]. It's subjectively measured based on post quality. For instance, there are 09'ers and 10'ers that are instantly recognizable as alts of older users (given that the alt is not a gimmick of course). /dramatic post with italics [editline]02:54AM[/editline] shitposts have a quality scale of their own

This whole newcomer thing to me seems rather an opinion sided story.

I doubt I would call an 08er a "newcomer" if his posts were crap.

I call anyone who hasn't been here for at least 5 months is a newcomer.
[QUOTE=Aurora93;20638917]I call anyone who hasn't been here for at least 5 months is a newcomer.[/QUOTE] You're still a newcomer to me. Sorry mate, it's just a subconscious perception.
[QUOTE=Funnycat;20638904]I still don't have the feeling that 08'ers have been around for a long time, though calling them newcomers would be illogical.[/QUOTE] For you, but for me, an 08er is older. And so, I couldn't call him a "newcomer" given that I'm "younger" than he.
you could always pretend to be an alt of an 05'er wink wink
And BTW, I don't really tag anybody as a "newcomer". I think it would be better to tag people by their join date.
[QUOTE=Funnycat;20638942]You're still a newcomer to me. Sorry mate, it's just a subconscious perception.[/QUOTE] To me, the term newcomer equates to the term noob. It refers to unexperienced members who, generally are new to the forum. Often one can outgrow the newcomer status in a short amount of time, if they pay attention enough.
Yeah, 'newcomer' isn't the word that I use in my mind, neither is 'noob', because of the way it's used in games by idiots. I usually appear to label people by their join date, idioticness of their avatar/username and this serves as a basis for the expectations of their post quality. Previous experiences count too.
Something people forget; newcomers, while annoying at times, are the future of this and anything else in the morning. I say we embrace newcomers.
Gahhhhh........newcomers get on my nerves... My first like 10 threads were shit, but nobody really cared because they were mainly posted in help & support or garrysmod.org where people aren't butthurt beyond belief like they are here in general discussion. GD has gotten pretty bad in the past six months actually....
[QUOTE=NO ONE;20639283]GD has gotten pretty bad in the past six months actually....[/QUOTE] There have been some gems though
[QUOTE=Funnycat;20638968]you could always pretend to be an alt of an 05'er wink wink[/QUOTE] Are you saying you don't think I am?
I'm saying I don't really give a damn. But you don't give the impression of a stereotypical 09er at the first glance.
