There seems to be a bit of ambiguity surrounding a common colloquialism we use here on WTF....Noob or newb or knewb or newbie or how ever the fuck you want to spell it. Lets get this straight...If you joined this year...you're a fucking noob....If you joined last year and the only way you can stay afloat is to join a little group so nobody makes fun of you....you're a noob....amount of posts and rep are meaningless in a place like this. If you're not around for at least a couple of months theres no way you can claim to know whats up. I think this is the core problem surrounding our recent battle with shit content. But i'm not going to place the blame solely on the noobs.
The way it used to work was;
1)You would set up an account and start reading a couple of threads
2)You think "This is bullshit...I can do better than this" and in your dillusional noob mind...you're right. So you make your little thread and you put all your little funnies in it and then you lurk.
3) It used to take approximately 45 seconds for your little thread to be utterly ripped to pieces by the wit and rhetoric of the posters here. and finally
4) You learn to keep your crusty fucking noob mouth shut around the OG's (
).
We've got scores of kids running around thinking this is the "OMFG!!pOKEMON" forum. I'm sure this is going to go right by most of you...but I remember a time when you could find geniune comedy here....not like a chuckle or two at a "fuUUNNY pIc"....but some 'laughing so hard you're crying' type of shit.
Another thing thats been pissing me off is the claims of "ownage" when you string a couple "naughty" words together...this isnt fucking 5th grade...I'm not going to high-five you for saying fuck. In my opinion..."flaming" is an art...you have to have imagination and at least a decent vocabulary to produce any real quality flames. I really dont have any solutions...I can only offer this to the old heads..."Flame Everybody who cant defend themselves." If we can separate the wheat from the shit...I think we can attain some semblance of the quality of yester-year.
"TL;DR".....of course you didnt read it....you've got to hurry up minimize this window so the librarian doesnt catch you on the internet.
