As one of those "no0bs" with less than 1,000 posts, I'm willing to be religated to a separate forum...as long as we do the same to members with over 10,000 posts.

Ban this NEF :p

You have 10 posts... you are not allowed to use or even think of the word NEF. This kind of action is automatically punishable by BAN! :D

We already have one, it unlocks when you hit Lifer. You can post all the pr0n and warez you want in there - it's totally unmoderated.

But then again, you wouldn't know of such things, would you ... no0b. ;)

How about us that have been here longer than you, Skroob, but just don't bother to post much? My post count may say n00b but my profileid # says differently.

I recommend that AT eliminate the post count. Some people actually think it means something!
You've been here for more than 4 years and should know better than to make a statement like that!

Some people try to use post count as base for a social hierarchy. That somehow they are closer to god because they have posted a certain number of times and obviously this is nonsense.

That why I reregister myself under a new handle every so often, because I don?t believe in elitist/post count.

After you stop asking dumb questions like that.

Well, the only reason I asked is because some asshat in another thread accused me of being a n00b.:confused:

Post count is irrelevant.

Post count is irrelevant.

Posting without pics is futile.

You will be assimiliated.
