The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Newbies a.k.a n00bs are now being abused, mocked and spat at from some of the Regulars I believe. This is because they are the ones to blame for making the threads and forums all boring and making them drop. One of the annoying things that Newbies do is that they make a thread that has something to do with helping them in a game, when you can just vist the walkthroughs, cheats or hints in SR, or in any other game website. Another thing that some regulars are annoyed about is to have a thread that is outdated and soooo last year. Some Newbies still make threads about console wars, for example "PlayStation 2 or XBox: vote here", and when you go into the thread, all it says is "Please vote, because I just want to know", with the thought that the Newbie who created that thread just might be the center of attraction. And guess what, they are, in a bad and painful way.
So, what I'm trying to state out is that how are you regulars, who were once Newbies, any different from todays n00bs when you lot (Regulars) were newbies?! Were you lot hated when you first arrived by the other regulars and notables?! Did you all make krappy and annoying threads that made the forums and threads fall?! Or perhaps you didn't because "Console Wars" was such a big topic or issue at that time. So are any of you regulars different from todays n00bs when you were Newbies?! Did you regulars had to go through the same thing as n00bs do/did when you were Newbies?! Or is is just that newbies from the older generation were a lot better and "Kooler" than today's n00bs?! What makes a n00b get hated, what makes them get mocked at, being all annoying and all?! Were any of you regulars hated by other regulars and notables when you were n00bs?! This is one of the things that have been wondering in my mind since I saw a few n00bs being mocked at, and that includes me I'll have to admit!
So, what was the difference between the older generation of Newbies and today's n00bs?
One more question:
Do any of you still think that I should be n00b and hated at?! Do any of you think that I'm like a regular-n00b? Cos I think I am.
*When I said one more question, I lied. Sorry, there was actually 2 there.

it still only clears the 900 day mark, but Cyclone started 1070 (or so days ago).

Grix isn't far off being the oldest member, if you take into account that his other account is a clear three months older than his Grix Thraves account.

The difference these days is the regulars.
Back when I joined, I can't remember a single person making a hostile comment towards anyone, newbie or not. I try to treat newbies these days the same way I was treated back then.
A lot of the newer regulars around these days though, also seem to treat newbies the same way they themselves were treated when they joined. Which isn't a good thing any more...
