You're not on because you have <500 posts.

I think a forum oldbie is someone with at least >1000 posts. But I also think that people who arrived later can still be oldbies.

LIKE ME.

Post count doesn't really matter if you think about it.
People spam just to get posts anyway.

People do not need to be categorized by people like Zulithe whether or not they are accepting into a certain social status or not

Read the first post in this thread again, and you'll know why you are not on the list.

The reason I added a post count to it was because of one reason.

If you were here from the beginning, but contributed VERY LITTLE, then your presence is not of much merit, is it?

I think that in 6 months, if you were an active member of the forums, you would have more than enough time to get 500 posts.

Well, the real oldbies are the ones who were there at that time and have been around since, and have knowledge of how things used to be, and how they have transformed into what they are today. It's more like a car mechanic from the 1900's who's been working on cars from then until today. They'd know a lot more about how things have changed, what has worked and what hasn't, and how the community around them has changed. They could use the knowledge and wisdom they have learned to fix problems that may arise which are similar to past problems, and would be better at solving new problems because they know what won't work.

Yes, oldbies should not be determined by how long they have been around, but how much they have contributed to the Graalian community

Merlin_2001 · #94 09-03-2001, 01:07 AM

Your arguments are good, but they suggest that oldbieness is directly related to intelligence. A stupid person wouldn't pick up on the reasons things happened as they did; they would just acknowledge that they had and think this was enough. I'm a newbie compared to some people, but I'm more skilled in game design and that kind of stuff. It isn't a perfect relationship - there are old players that act like newbies and new players that act like oldbies.

Hmm... Could "contributed to" be replaced with "insulted"? If so, I'm a super-duper oldbie.

Actually more like... the average of both how long you have been around, and how much you have contributed within that time.

shayden · #99 09-03-2001, 01:52 AM

Why was this thread posted? Did someone feel a need to feel superior? If you want somthing truely entertaining you should post a list of people who have left the message boards in the last six months!

-SG111-

WingDrgn · #**100** 09-03-2001, 02:33 AM

Where am I on that list?

Oh and don't go saying I registered on May, because I registered around the same time as waar.

Zulithe · #**101** 09-03-2001, 02:38 AM

This thread is turning out to be a nightmare

Everyone keeps msging me "hey I was there at such and such date blah blah blah"

Is there really a "Top Poster" list??

Yes. Click on "Members" up at the top. Top 15 Posters, and you can continually go down. I think Marle and I are in the lower 20's...Not sure though. Fai is number one, though. Heh.

ArchOwl · #**105** 09-03-2001, 02:44 AM

Zulithe, you evil man. If you have not done it yet, add me to the list. Registration date was 3-13-2001 before the account incident...

Merlin · #**109** 09-03-2001, 02:53 AM

My crazedmerlin account is #2 on top 15 posters

but i still think the idea of seperating the forum community into newbie and oldbie by date registered is dumb.

ArchOwl · #**110** 09-03-2001, 02:55 AM

for once: I agree.

If someone is not on the list it does not automatically make them a newbie. Besides, it is just a guide. If you don't like the list you can just ignore it or dismiss it.

But of course, people who are not on the list are bound to complain. And since that most people are not on the list, I expect a lot of complaints.

Lycia · #**112** 09-03-2001, 03:37 AM

Heh, not only do I get to post here, but, I also posted on the old Graal Online forums.

THAT I did not get to do! I e-mailed the forum admin almost every week about getting an account, I never received any answer! The forums were locked due to, from what I heard, the Shimyans

My VERY first post on this forum was about how happy I was to finally post ^_^

Oh well, I'm finally here! No complaints now.

IceHawk · #**114** 09-03-2001, 03:42 AM

When the forums first came out, I didn't post much at all.

ZanderX · #**115** 09-03-2001, 03:43 AM

And, Garnet_Mithica was registered LONG before Vash was. So technically, I should be on the list.

When the forums first came out, I posted a lot. Now, I post a lot less. I've posted a good deal this last week though.
