Are you Newbies tired of some of the Regulars saying stuff about us?? Frankly, I am!! I respect most of the regulars but some others are just plain stupid. We were all Newbies in the beggining, weren't we?? So why do they do it? Some may say that I am stupid, childish and taking things to seriously and I accept their judgement. But why oh why do they do it? I am desperatly struggling to become a Regular like the others. But it takes time and effort. I am putting all my time and effort into this because I think that it is a really cool idea to have this kind of "chat" that gives away free games as bonuses. I signed up immediatly so i could talk to people and see how good I was at writing stuff about games. I really enjoy this place and I enjoy writing to most people, but it is those that say "whip the Newbies" and stuff. We can't help being Newbies, now can we?
I am in real hope of winning a copy of Donkey Kong because, basically I live in the middle of nowhere and have nothing to do except play my N64. But since I joined up here I have something to keep me occupied. I try night and night again to win something, but always seem to be beaten by a Regular. Why????? I think that I do quality winning work and I spend hours writing Reviews and coming up with disscusion topics but I am always beaten why??

I don't why they bother with regulars/newbies. I don't care about being a newbie: it just makes loads of pointless bickering!

I'm a "Newbie" even though i've been posting since before Christmas. I've won DVD's and Game's so it is possible to win if your a Newbie.
To me i don't really think it makes a difference, just have some fun and post things you want to say to other people.

I agree with Wookiee.

Just come on here because you enjoy it, thats what i did, and then one evening i found out i had won. I was well impressed!

Most people on here dont really care if you're newbie or not. As long as you post good stuff, thats all that matters.
