This is a serious question.
When is one no longer considered a noob? Is it a length of time thing or a number of posts thing? |
Everyone is entitled to adaquate answers to their pressing questions. Not everyone can afford spiraling diagnostic costs from these out of control Honda dealerships. I say free advice for everyone! :p

I'd say that it's when you start contributing to the society around here...;) Could be offering up advice or just being wacky... :rolleyes: Doesn't matter... Me am doing a bit of both... :rotf: If you show up enough for people to know who you are, then your not a noob anymore... |
I agree, with Tweety on what makes you a noob. If you contribute to the forum then not a noob. If all you do is ask questions, and take take take, then noob.
I read almost every thread and I never thought we where mean to noobs. :rolleyes: |

I usually do the search, provide the results and a smart ass comment like "see how easy that was". It's a battle that will never be won. Even if there is a "new guy" post that should be read, you know everyone won't read it. I know where noob came from, but this is probably a more accurate term for the new guys, we use it on Submarines: NUB - None Useful Body They're good for nothing until they learn and get qualified. Most people are NUBs when they come here, then they read/learn/attempt and have useful info to provide to the new NUBs. |

Thank you!!! I was thinking the same exact thing...
The "use the search" advise is helpful, but the snooty attitude isn't. (BTW, I am far superior to those with snooty attitudes. :evillaugh: ) |

I haven't seen that on the forum, generally we kind of moderate ourselfes... If anyone is offended by me, say it... That's how I work... I'm allergic to PC... ;) God know's I have offended people... Sometimes just by being in tha same room... :crackup: |

I read about 90% of the posts. I've seen some harshness, but not down right meanness to noobs.

By the same token Drew, if you don't like the flaming, don't read it! And thumper61713, I'd hardly call my last "flame" freaking out. And I did exactly what you suggested in your post, giving the OP a bit of info, so piss off. You know whats funny Syclone?? You did NOT have a second post before I commented and now you do??? That is quite peculiar?? Oh well I guess its my mistake huh? Oh and I think I am fine pissing on and not off thanks though... |

Ha Ha! I prefer a New York Strip, but when a Swede has to correct an American on the proper use of the English language, it's not long before we'll all be surviving on fried possum or roof rat on corn tortillas!

You'll have to tell me sometime. |
These bikes have been here for 10 years, pretty much everything to be known has been posted at some point. Almost everything is covered somewhere in the archives. If all we did was search there'd be no forum. |
