"Cweek's not a noob anymore!"

Well, it's been a year, but I've finally managed to get out of noob-ness. This is post 300. Must go eat cheese now.

(Edit- What do you mean it's not 10,000 words!!! Crud!!!)

Okay, party's over.

and we're all supposed to bow down and respect you, right?

It takes about a day for the system to update the colour.

Hooray- I'm purple!

Now that you've got 300 posts and 10000 words, why din't you still get your regular status?

Yeah, but most people forget after a while. Even before I came onto these forums, it was obvious (thanks to a friend *hint*bessant*hint*) that noobs don't get as much respect as the likes of Rikoss, Hedfix etc. I can understand that. Most newbies just join up, spam spam spam, get banned and never come back. (As a side note, whatever happened to Spazzy McGee?) Obviously if I've been here for over a year, then I've gained more experience than some, but I'm willing to accept my fate. For now.

When I started this thread, I wasn't really thinking, I'll admit that. But as I post this message, my word count has just toppled 10,000. How dramatic, eh?

But noobs do provide some entertainment. zzzz's reviews were hilarious to read, and I spent one evening going through them all and laughing my head off.

Well, regardless of their on-screen stats, I will, personally, consider them a n00b and treat them as such until they earn some respect.

That's a good point. I don't spam though and I've never had a thread closed. Although, I just gained 2000 words in under a minute.

cweek you n00b.

in fairness though, becuase n00b is not a good status, they get encouraged to spam, and then warned and only when they are regulars, only for their threads to be closed. :(

Meh. I was a very slow poster back in the early days of my account but it didn't even take me that long. I don't know why n00bs get so obsessed about shedding their n00b status. The word/post count thing isn't supposed to be there to encourage people to spam.
