    EDIT: If anyone doesn't get why I'm laughing here, it has nothing to do with newbies. Good one, Zanzin .

      don't confuse posting rank with new people. I've been coming here for a long time for my civ-information-fix and only recently has my rank gone up....

        I'm a long time visitor to the forums, long before the merge, and long before most of you "veterans." Only recently was I forced to get a login because the increase in traffic blocked visitors from checking out the threads.

        I can tell you that you're right, most of the "newbies" won't stick around for much longer because you guys bore them to death with your silly "holier than thou" posts.

        Most of you guys who ***** about the newbies haven't ever posted a decent thread, at least nothing educational, informative, or interesting. I usually don't even bother with threads that I know are asking for flames, but I think this is getting a little silly.

        I'm sure a majority of the people buying shirts from Apolyton are newbies and not you el cheapos who *refuse* to shell out 40 bucks for a decent strat game. Your newbies are the lifeblood of this website.

        If new people stopped joining and posting, this forum would degrade even more than it has in the last year; as it would consist of the usual ship of fools who are content with polishing each other's knobs.

          I agree with you, Eliminator. Seems I'm not the only one to walk quietly in the doors. I have no idea how long I have watched these boards, before I even bothered to register. I'm still a settler, but does post rank have anything to do with being a newbie?

          Just asking, what is defined as a newbie?

            I think most of the people on here, who were complaining about newbies were, um... kidding . Except maybe the first post, which made a valid point (this fourm would be more useful if everyone posted everything in the right places), I think when it got to the general slam-a-newbie everyone was joaking. I hope they were, anyway, since that's what it sounded like to me , and it's a pretty stupid thing to complain about if they weren't (we all were once), so...

              Hey! New members! Visit the Off-Topic Forum. Don't forget to start a "Hi! I'm new" thread so we can welcome you properly. Ignore the jerks here. We're much friendlier in the OT.
              bad horse! baaaaaaaad horse!

              hey, there's even a thread in the ot right now just for welcoming new civ3 users.


              oh, and for Eliminator

                  A newbie in this context is a person new to Apolyton. Don't get your panties in a bunch worrying if we are talking about your computer/life/civ inexperience. People we call newbies = people new to the boards.

                  (That you have to ask...is SO newbie! )

                      One thing I have to say ... people seem to come to forums for two things: information, and as a social substitute.

                      Most "newbies" are here for information about the game. That is why they were not here before the game.

                      People who complain loudly about newbies are probably here more for social substitute. Otherwise they would not be so emotional.

                      More people does mean more redundant, FAQ type posts. It is really not that hard to avoid those and find the good info.

                      But the chance to bash ppl and claim some kind of "superiority" due to lots of posts ... that is gold to someone needing a social substitute.
                      Good = Love, Love = Good
                      Evil = Hate, Hate = Evil

                        Am I a newbie?

                        I.E. - How new is a newbie?

                        hehe, thanx!

                          Well, timeline, you are not a newbie to me- I define a newbie as someone who is not remembered by a King or Emperor. If the poster is unknown, then the poster is a newbie.

                            No, not -- quite . The Bar Mitzvah is the comming of age (when you turn 13). Induction to the church, you're an adult now, whoopie, etc. For future reference, though, Bar Mitzvah's tend to be very long and very boring (to someone who's in the audience, anyway ).

                              Okay, I've changed my mind - all newbies should stay on this forum.
                              Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

                              Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                                Perhaps you are not looking close enough- you certainly have NOT CONTRIBUITED ANYTHING TO THIS BOARD- please don't complain if you are worse than people who post here and try to help, or try to have fun.

                                (Oh yes, and P.S. AH likes to get people angry at him- he likes to troll )
                                I'm sure a majority of the people buying shirts from Apolyton are newbies and not you el cheapos who *refuse* to shell out 40 bucks for a decent strat game. Your newbies are the lifeblood of this website.
                                Yes, probably- Civ III is annoying, who wants to upgrade to a pentium III- I for one am not going to upgrade for 1 game!
                                If new people stopped joining and posting, this forum would degrade even more than it has in the last year; as it would consist of the usual ship of fools who are content with polishing each other's knobs.
                                Probably- but you yourself is not helping this- you never registered "until you had to" and yet you claim you are better than everyone- okay, here is an oldies question- who was the third person to register on the boards... I will accept 2 answers, either may be correct.
