I am quietly optimistic. Although smilies in sig lines should be discouraged [/oldfart]

I came here looking for something totally different, it was a complete mistake. I usually read boingboing.net rather than digg or any of the others.

How long ago could you have joined and still be considered a n00b?

I'm wondering, when does one cease to be a n00b? Is it by post count? Threads started? Calendar-measured presence? Or some less quantifiable measure of being vaguely known to the general gang? Sorry, but n00b always makes me think of

Threads started get your name noticed, but unless they are quality threads, there is no guarantee of becoming anything more than the annoying noob cluttering up the board. Tough crowd  The length of time served doesn't seem to affect noob-status an awful lot either. Some people feel like they've been here longer than their join date suggests - they just fit and that's it. So I take option number 4 - being known and liked by a number of posters already here. We're a diverse board, so you don't have to appeal to everyone. And sometimes if noobs are given the cold shoulder by even one Dwellar they feel they have failed - but it's not true (honest). That is solely my opinion of course YMMV. I still feel like a noob here myself sometimes. I feel like the newly arrived girlfriend in a long established social group. Still liable to blurt out something embarrassing because I feel I've been accepted, but taking it one step too far. Still - it's only been two years, and my closest friends in real life I've had for over 20 after all. Maybe in 20 years I'll still be here, talking about my knee operation rather than my Dad's but still having problems with my weight, my finances and my lovelife. Damn, I wish I hadn't thought that...

well, there was a lot of discussion before about how the noobs suck, and the Cellar was going to hell in that little ol' basket, and . . .
but we did get some good ones recently, I agree

Agreed, muy funniez and artikul8 peeps.
Mockingbird and ZenGum both said they were searching for something a little odd. So was I when I found this place (and I believe I am equally awesome ...:p). Perhaps it's nuffink to do with being dugg or farked and everything to do with our somewhat unusual repertoire of topics? I believe I was searching for knitted genetalia.... Vivant, how did you get here?
