I have just read and responded to another post regarding the "Newbies". Whilst typing my response I began to think, when do we stop being a newbie??
Is it when you've got so many numbers by your name, a star or length of time on here??
I'm into my 3rd week and loving it x
Please let me know when you think a "Newbie" is no longer a "Newbie"

That is an interesting deep-thinking question. ._. I guess it depends on the person that is calling you a "newbie". : ) I think it shows whether you're a "newbie" or not depnding on your attitute. I don't think a "newbie" or a "pro" is based off your number of posts or your star rating. What I consider "newbies" are people that don't care about what they're doing.

Good question! 
I still feel I am a newbie when I have users with loads more posts than me on my discussion or I see them on other discussions. I have been here almost two years but they still have that effect on me.
I think you start to stop feeling you are a newbie when you really feel part of the Lot. You begin to feel you 'know' a lot of users and you feel at home here.
Do you still feel like a newbie and when do you think you might not be one anymore?

In terms of length of time I've been a member etc, Yes I still feel like a "Newbie" however I felt right at home more a less straight away. Partly because the majority of people on here are friendly and interested in what your saying x
So I kind of do & don't feel new!!!
Thanks for the response x :-)

hi!
usually in other forums, you are no longer a newbie when you are able to post a certain number. Maybe here in mylot, it is up to you if you are a newbie or not. If at 50 posts you feel you are no longer a newbie and know more members here it is ok. Maybe you at 100 you are no longer a newbie because you can see a star already beside your name.
maybe it is really upto the person.
happy mylotting

sometimes, being an "oldie" is also good, as you can assist a newbie in the site. and it feels good to help other members.
take care

I'm getting the feeling it is down to you when you stop being a "newbie", I just hope I never stop feeling like a "Newbie" as I love it at the minute. I was addicted to Facebook until I discovered mylot x
Thanks for the response as you have answered another question I had about the star thing!!:-)

yep. stop asking them. read before you ask. many times the answers are already there. if you ever have a question about mylot, just read the discussions started by new users. its full of newb questions, and answers.

Once you post 1500 responses and have been a member for over a year, you are no longer a newbie. JUST KIDDING! I don't know, I guess once you have learned all the rules and grasp the concept and have made a significant number of posts, like 50 or 100, such as you already have. I guess it all depends on how many questions you still have whether or not you feel like you're still a newbie. If you have not read the FAQs yet I encourage all new members to do that, because it only takes a few minutes and it's VERY helpful!

ROFL!!!!
I don't feel like a newbie & didn't feel like 1 for very long!!! :-)
The only thing that I can't get to grips with is editing my profile, I always seem to get something wrong and things don't work!!! I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later :-)
Thanx
