How new does a member have to be for you to consider them a noob?

For me, anyone who joined after '05 is a noob. I tend to ignore their posts. I also lul a bit when they start talking about how things used to be around here.

I was a lurker for a while, then I got my own almost a year ago and have been having fun ever since :p

PS this is how sad my job is... I can post a few thousand posts in a year....

For me, anyone who joined before '01 is a nerd. I tend to mock their posts. I also gag a bit when they start talking about how things used to be around here.

I joined in 01, lurked forever, forgot my password, and created this username in 05. I'd say anyone that was here after the good ol' days is a newb. Late 06, early 07.

I ignore posts made by people who have been here longer than I have, because they tend to get all nostalgic about things that will never be again.

I think late 06 for me. Lower PPD also comes into consideration. higher PPD=likely to ignore. there are exceptions to that of course with well known contributors
