| Oldbie, Midbie, Newbie. Help. | |

So, I read on several profiles that people are in the Oldbie or Midbie 'council' (or just JA Midbie / Oldbie). No one calls themselves newbie on their profile, but that's really not the issue here. The very, very pressing issue here is this: who decides who's oldbie, who's midbie and who's newbie? After months of research I found out that it has something to do with your profile number, but that still leaves: can I just go and proclaim myself an Oldbie? Do I have to know a certain handshake? Do I have to wipe my arse diffently? Do I... the list goes on. We are identity crisis in the real world, please make sure our cyber-alter-ego's don't get one too  |

Quote: no in about 1 year from now it should be: Super oldbies: 5 - 999 Oldbies: 1001-1699 MidToOldbie : 1700-2399 (i would have put 2299 but i consider 2300 pretty old)Midbies: 2400-3999  (me )Newbies: 4000+ Nah Cmad, everything would remain the same as it is now. Super oldbies would be super oldbies, oldbies would be oldbies, midtooldbies would be midtooldbies, midbies will be midbies, and newbies, as always, will always be NEWBIES, those fekkin' n00bs! _______________ slorp This comment was edited by Lian Del Rey on Mar 16 2004 12:33am. |

I think this is the breakdown: ID# 1-99 = Super Oldbie ID# 100-999 = Oldbie ID# 1000-2600 = Midbie ID# 2601 and up = Some sort of Newbie, not sure though ...and just so ya know, I don't think the Council has an official position on this. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Actually, you could be a... early midbie with that profile ID number, but I don't remember you from old skool JA, so you might be a newbie. _______________ slorp |

Quote: your an oldbie when you have a low profile id number and you have been here long enough that all the other "oldbies" know who you are. a midbie is just like an oldbie cept their id number is somewhere in the middle. givin time it all fluxuates. newbies turn into midbies, midbies trun into oldbies and oldbies turn into super oldbies. you just cant claim your an oldbie. even if you have an old id number you still have to be remembered. alot of people just signed up, never said anything and then came back a year later claiming to be an oldbie. by defination, yes they are an oldbie. but they are still a newbie when it comes to knowing what has happened during that past year. it all gets really confusing but in time you'll understand. _______________ slorp |
