...I mean, all the events you mention happened in the last couple of months, and I've been here for about... 6 or 7 months, yet I'd still class myself as a semi-newbie. And it's ridiculous to class people's 'newbieness' based on which 'board events' they remember - I mean, even if I were to frequent this board for the next 5 years, I'd still be classed as a newbie by some, just because I wasn't around for the 'Holytoads incident'. And why does it matter? There are clever newbies and there are stupid newbies. Sure, they might ask silly questions now and then, but at least they don't post for the sole purpose to berate the rest of the board for allowing it to decline, before announcing that they're 'leaving the board forever' because of it's low standards like some of the 'grizzled regulars'. After all, when you get down to the nitty-gritty, no matter who posts here, no matter what is posted here, it's still just a freakin' web-board.
