    It depends on whether your post offends or impresses whoever chooses to address it first.

    If they're offended, you're still a n00b.

    One more post than whatever you currently have transforms you from a noob into a regular. :baba2:

    The line is in between "Who cares" and "Nobody gives a damn."

    Yes, there's a line, and I'm usually at the back of it.

    They invade our space, and we fall back.

    They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back.

    Well no more! The line must be drawn HEEYAH!

    THIS far, NO further!

    AND I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE!

    If you need to ask if you are a noob, you are almost certainly a noob.

    It's relative. From the perspective of someone who's been here from the beginning, someone who's only been around a year or so is probably still a noob. From the perspective of someone who's been around a couple of years, someone who's been around half that long isn't a noob.
