I dont mind being a Newbie as there is no difference. I think its quite good as to become a regular you need 300 posts with 3000 words or more, when your a newbie it shows that you are new to the board and that you may need help from regulars about posting and different things. Iam nearly a regular I think as I have posted 128 including this post in the last 30 days and have been on this board for a few months now. I am just outside the top 50 posters in the las 30 days for posts and in 25 place for the number of words. I think that aswell as Newbie, regular e.t.c we could have the number of posts and words aswell, as other boards have this.


As YH said you need classes in life as if everyone at work was equal then there would be no boss to make choices, if you didnt work you wouldnt get fired. The world would be a whole big mess.

Yes, I've noticed that. The post was directed towards pagey in particular, and anyone else with a similar viewpoint...

This has all gone too far. Those of you that are complaining about being newbies and whatnot, you have all been told many times that it's not your tag that counts - it's your posts and your attitude that changes the way you get treated. The very fact that you are actually still complaining about it, shows exactly why you deserve to have the tag 'newbie'.

I think the classes are an added incentive

Anyway, a classless society is:

A. Not possible

B. Stupid.

You need to have different levels of class for the society to work properly. You need to have at least an upper an a lower class, simply so that the lower classes have something to look up to and hope they can get there, and the upper classes need something to look down on and think "Thanks god im not that!".

Also, society has to have leaders, otherwise nothing will ever get done. People are needed to stand up above the rest and tell people what to do, otherwise people do nothing.

Probably right Your Honour.

As for the gameaday limitations. A winning post should be the best of the day, not the best of the day excluding those better that have recently won. Its silly.

Competitions don`t disallow the previous winner to enter!

This post has been put through the renowned YH translation system, and comes out as thus:

"I'm well pi**ed off! I haven't won GAD yet and i think it's a conspiracy 'cos other are winnig and not me!

I want to have a sulk and write a load of crap because i honestly beleive that this will get respect for me and help my chances of winnig GAD on here.

I obviously don't bother looking in WLT, as if i did i'd see that people of all "classes" chat along fine about everything"
