When does someone cease to be a Newbie?
I just saw a one month old member call one of the original GFYers a 'newbie asshole', I can only assume because he has 560 fewer posts. This prompts me to ask the question;
How long is one considered a newbie? Is it for # of posts, length of time, or experience coming in?

I think you'd know the answer to that, if you weren't a newbie.

Can you walk in a room full of webmasters and start to talk about page rank, search terms, scripts, tour design, banner placement, effective free site modeling, etc.
When you can just hold your own in the game, thats all. I dont think a day goes by where I dont tweak or learn something new.

You can be a newbie with thousands of posts. You can be a newbie after years. Then again, you can be a non-newbie with only a few hundred posts, or a couple of months. Its an attitude.

everyone has shit to learn......newbies are dumb asses, NOT new webmasters! Well they are, but established webmasters can also be considered newbies purely because they are unknown!
newbies to me is a strange term! |

I just want to add, that I still see myself as a "newbie", but at least im not trying to be something im not Like gothweb wrote: "You can be a newbie with thousands of posts. You can be a newbie after years. Then again, you can be a non-newbie with only a few hundred posts, or a couple of months." Niceley put |

I think the word 'newbie' is being used more and more as an insult.. just by how it is included in some of the posts I read...
I've been at it since 96 and am a newbie in one area or another.. Always something new happening.. always something to learn.. Everyone is, or was a newbie.. Kinda like high school sophomores makin fun of the freshmen simply because they're freshmen.. ![]() |

I think newbie kinda has a tinge of a deragatory connotation, however I think keeping a fresh open mind rocks.
The context I generally hear 'newbie' throw around is a) when someone is annoying the shit out of a person with basic questions, or b) when someone is trying to up their dick-size scale in a lame verbal (my dog is bigger than yours) type of way Great question, but after 4 years in this biz I still don't know the exact definition of a newibe, but as as I'm learning new shit I'll consider myself one ![]()

more bullshit. "Newbie" is such a lamer's term. What year is this?
1995? people need to establish a pecking order, make themselves feel better about themselves. It's a useless human trait. I know so many people chasing 'player' status in this biz and i laugh at them because it's so futile, there will always be somebody bigger and better than you, people like that will just keep trying and never really satisfied where they are in life. and EVERYBODY in this business is a NEWBIE at something. Nobody is a master at everything, this biz has a HUMONGOUS skill set range. There are people who run million dollar programs who can barely make a simple webpage. There are Photoshop wiz's who couldn't scare up 1,000 hits a day if their life depended on it. TGP warriors who barely know how to balance their own bank book let alone run a webmaster affiliat program and so on and so on ........................

You stop being a complete newbie when you realize free sites aren't about entertainment they're about marketing.
Once a person realizes that, they're a giant step above the hordes of people who start making porn sites everyday and never make any money.

when you go to a show, meet the oldies that have been calling you a newbie, get drunk off your ass with them, and when you get back home and go on the board again, you'll no longer be a newbie.

Everyone can be a newbie in some part of the business, since nobody has done everything. Generaly speaking though, when you'll manage to figure things alone without asking all the time you shouldn't consider yourself newbie anymore. What others consider about you shouldn't affect you.
After some period, what makes you different is your ability to adapt through time and that is what really matters. The amount of posts in a board doesn't reflect anything. But if you have less than me go fuck yourself ![]() |

if making enough to float the boat with no income make you no longer a newbie ...then I guess, I am an oldtimer....
I did agree with that entirely .. I have been in this business for just over 1 year.. and I dont know fuck all , in comparison to what is to learn I am a newbie. straight up.. even thought all my income is earned via online porn in one way or another ... I learn new shit everyday and by the month my income grows... and as I learn I will make more and eventually -bling fucken bling- I dont drive a lamborghini... or a car that runs for that matter ![]() but in the last year .. I quit cooking 4 star slop for some packy in the hotel , getting rich off my sweat and tears, my wife bitching when I have worked 18 and still aint comming home for a few more.... and now I make my money , when I want , where I want for who I want ..... and get to sit and watch my wife nude all day long .. newbie yes... but not like a year ago , this time next year I will still be a newbie .. whether I am buying a house with porn $ ... or shooting the shit with some of you over a beer.... Ill tell you this ., after talking to a " totall newbie" this evening I can now see why somemany where irritated with all my shit at first thanks to all the " oldtimers" that put up with my shit ..

One sure way to have the title of newb branded on your asscheek is to come storming on this board and inside of one month you run your mouth about how much you're making, you insult a lot of the ladies here, and you cock off to long-established webmasters incessantly as if you be one of the boys. Know anyone like that?
**cough**ebus**cough**cough** Maybe you're no longer a newb once you realize this isn't a get-rich-quick industry and you've put in the work, time and effort and are making a living from your online business. However, if you can't shake off the shit-ass attitude you will always be a newb in my book... no matter how big your business grows or how inflated your ego gets.
