You're a newb....

Recently I was reading a post where some folks were accussing another veteran poster of being a "newb"or "noob" as stated in some circles. Some also went to the extreme of calling the poster a "troll". This got me to thinking and considering the fact that every year we have a plethora of new posters that begin their AP experience on the wrong foot. (Dare I use the word "We", since it's really the Thorman bro's site).
We always accept new posters with open arms into the "familia" We just hope they understand that they need to garner a level of acceptance and respect through thought provoking posts before they are truly accepted into the community. Some try to use humor and usually early on they tend to offend (inadvertantly) some of the long term folks around here. Keep in mind that when you do see jibes/jokes between two posters and it may "SEEM" that they are hard on each other, it's typically because they've established a long-time repoire...you'll get there eventually. It's not a carte blanche to do the same.
I thought I'd put together a few thoughts to make those synapse start firing during the off-season and to prepare our new brethren for the upcoming season.
I find some of the folks that are relatively new try to fit in right away by thinking they've established themsleves on the board and in turn start to fire away at users without really either reading, investigating (looking up the poster) or articulating their thoughts succinctly. That should be your first task if you don't immediately recognize a user.
So how well do you know the board....let's see shall we ;-)
BTW..no cheating if you don't know the answers by reading the replies below...just test yourself first J
So, let's have some fun shall we, and test yourselves...btw, feel free to add additional "you're a newb" for things I might have missed over the last few years of being on here:
- 1) If you're posts number in the single or double digits....you're a newb
- 2) If you're posts number in the triple digits...you're a relative newb
- 3) If you've posted in the thousands (plural), you've probably had some good debates against those above ....and they're newbs.
- 4) If you've never taken the time to actually click on the posters name to get an idea of the length of member time and number of posts before responding to them...you're a newb
- 5) If you're attacking a poster instead of stating your point/asking for clarification....you're a newb.
- 6) If you have no idea who this poster was ....you're a newb
- 7) If you don't know about "guppy"...you're a newb
- 8) If you don't know about the use of the word "retarted" (not misspelled)....you're a newb
- 9) If you don't know Joel Thormans original username ....you're a newb
- 10) If you don't know that "THE_TRUTH" is a username making fun of any newbs chest-thumping....you're a newb
- 11) If you don't know who our porn rep is on here (username,location,job)....you're a newb
- 12) If you never REALLY read the TOS or rules...you're most definitely a newb
- 13) If you don't know what 2.7 stands for....you're a newb
- 14) If you don't know who Lanier is on AP (not the player) and his life story...you're a newb
- 15) If you don't know what the sarcastic font is....you're a newb
- 16) If you don't know who said (and I'm parapharsing)..."....as long as you don't post some f'ing s!@# with dolphins and unicorns"...you're a newb
- 17) If you don't know who posts pictures of dolphins and unicorns...let's not forget cowbells and the occassional manatee or whale riding one of the aforementioned....you're a newb
- 18) If you've never posted on a live game day thread....you're a newb
- 19) If you've been on a game day threa and never had to re-open your browser from over 500 comments locking down your browser (yes I've used IE,Firefox and Opera to no avail)...you're a newb
- 20) If you don't know THE_TRUTH's arch-nemesis although we've had some thought provoking debates (Godfather III still rocks bro)....you're a newb hint: stay thirsty my friends
- 21) If your post has never gone green....you're a newb
- 22) If you've never either gotten a H/T or know what one is....you're a newb
- 23) If you don't know or never used/seen a quote on AP from "The Big Lebowski"...you're a newb So, how did you do?...yeah, nothing wrong with being a newb. Just get to know some of AP's quirks/antics.
Remember, in the end it's all about fun. We're all an extended family here wanting the best for OUR team. YES, OUR TEAM...just remember that. We're not a bunch of fans supporting different teams going at each other, we're all here from different parts of the world with the same desired goal....to make fun of the rest of the AFC west. No,no, ...seriously though, it's to support our cities Chiefs.
Can't wait for the coin flip a couple months away...

Great post and most definitely rec'd
Dare I use the word “We”, since it’s really the Thorman bro’s site
Nah, it’s “We”…the community contributes more material than we do (which begs the question, what the hell do I do around here?). That’s the best part of AP.
It's all good Primetime...
I get that and it’s appreciated, but when I was writing this (or anything else when speaking of the community on AP) I always give credit where credit is due.

I have taken what I feel is a good route to take
Stick around and lurk; observe. Recognize who is insightful, funny, respected, and full of shit. Give respect where it’s due, add insight to what you read and comment on, call out bullshit, but only with fact and logic (don’t call out bulllshit with bullshit).
The other thing I would suggest you add to this list is participation in a friday night open thread. It’s a good time; it especially helps in the off season.
I don’t understand why “Charlie Weis disapproves of your binge drinking” is not a classic pic/caption yet.

ive been on here for more than a minute
but what could be labeled as a M-F type guy. Being in the military its hard to be at home and just sit on the computer, because that is what I do all day long. So I usually spend the weekend catching up on 21 months lost to her over 3 deployments. I still check AP daily and get a “free pass” on Sunday’s when its gameday, but other than that just a few rec’s and lines on Saturday and Sunday for me.

It’s kinda funny; you hope to get it by saying something insightful, throwing in on a subject with something that makes people stop and consider. Or perhaps by making a funny remark that everyone jumps behind (Who invented Beer Gloves?)
But as life goes, you take it any way you can get it.

why did he leave?
and satchmo? and I always look on the horizon for Bewsaf posts, guess he has passed us by as well
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
He had a long list of reasons, headed by content/quality, if I remember correctly.
I don’t know that Satch really gave an explanation. I just remember the day that someone was looking for his post (which happened to be the highest rec’d post on the site) and it was gone, along with him.
I’d imagine Bewsaf is taking the summer off. He’s disappeared since May. Might just be waiting for some more game tape to do some analysis.

I think some of the vets have been ran off so this post was a good one.
I would not cal it 'ran off'
I still read every day, but I don’t make a post unless I feel like I have something worthly to add, or a real zinger of a smart-ass comment or rant.
And by post count alone I would still quality as a newb, but I’ve been around for a number of years now.

Ah hell... How am I still a noob?
I hate to play this card… but… I think having posted the most rec’d FanPost in AP history automatically renders me non-noob.
But, all in all I did pretty good… I failed at numbers:
6, 7, 9, 11 and 16.
I think 17 is The Official AP Parade… and I think 20 is UCrawford. All in all I hit about 75%… that ought to qualify as a passing grade.

Speaking of kickers...
I heard on Jim Rome’s show today that Dallas picked up a kicker in the draft that can out run their rookie CB. Apparently he placed pretty well in the 40 time and put up 25 reps on the bench press. That’s more than any DB, and it was more than most RBs and OLmen.
I absolutely hate the Cowboys, but I’m rooting for that guy. It’d be awesome to see a kicker kickoff, run down the field and crush the returner. Not to mention the fake FGs they could do. I like rooting for players in underdog positions to stand out.

2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
This is awesome...

You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead — your next stop, the Chiefs Zone

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
lol... reminds me of my first comment on AP
Something along the lines of “I’m here from the KC Star website, been posting there for a couple of months. They suck, nothing but a bunch of D-bag trolls. You guys seem cool though”.
Haven’t posted anywhere else since then… barring literally a couple posts on NFL.com or Arrowhead Addict.
Welcome aboard Atlienzz. Look forward to seeing your contributions.

The KC Star site is awful
Like you said, nothing but trolls.
I like the ESPN draft discussion board (they keep it open most of the year), but there’s maybe about 8-10 regulars on there and even they aren’t there all that often.
This is the only place to go if you’re hardcore hooked on talking Chiefs.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I think i remember that

That post is good stuff
It’s one of the things that convinced me to FINALLY sign up a couple of days ago.
Reading the list I realized that knew more than a couple of the items listed. That made me realize how long I’d just been watching and not participating. And THAT made me feel like an idiot. So Truth, you can consider yourself AP’s unofficial recruiter.

However
Will I always be a newb since I watch the games using NFL Rewind, which takes me out of the gameday threads?
I mean, I COULD still post on those, but I go out of my way all day Sunday to avoid hearing the Chiefs score just so I can watch the game at 11 (when it becomes available).
I mean, I could spring for NFL Sunday Ticket if someone wants to lend me a few hundred bucks. And by lend, I mean give.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
if you pull up the website for the fox
you can listen live to the games on sunday. That’s what I do (in florida).
We can't stop here, this is bat country!

Thanks jake
But I love watching those games rather than just listening!
I’ll sacrifice posting on a gameday thread for that. It would just throw me off trying to read posts while watching the game anyway…

Wow Rec for the noob via 1995 counterstrike spelling
but i missed two of those questions and i have been posting lurking and commenting since 07’ ……
dammit i guess i still have some “noob” status
How the hell did that happen? I am Trailblazer fan to the core but I love me some OKC THunder!!! Must be the Hometown pride I feel.
I'll Say it now so you guys can know I'm a true follower: "In Pioli I Trust"
Go Chiefs!!!!!

Should have said 2,000 comments above.
Guess I am still a newb. Back to the drawing board.
"The Hammer"
OK
I don’t have a clue about most of the above…but I knew I wouldn’t. Definitely a newb

It's funny...
…because you see this type of stuff all the time. “I’ve been on this particular site along time and that somehow makes me better than you, n00b.” You have a collection of jpegs, epic retorts, a collection of alt accounts and a hand full of memes that are only interesting to you a couple others.
Hey welcome to the internet! Thanks for 4channing the place up a bit. Be sure to stop by any of millions of other sites with admins, mods and old timers that believe post count or account number equates to a badge of honor. Maybe we could hand out special profile badges for time spent on a site or a grammar nazi award or maybe a meme medal of honor?
All of this is not to say I don’t sympathized when someone new to a site busts in and starts showing their ass like a Raider’s fan in the preseason. It’s annoying. Also when someone misinterprets your long running joke it can be unsettling. But let’s be honest, a great majority of people come here to look for news and discuss something they are very passionite about. With that you will obviously get a handful of stupidity with a side of just plain rude. It’s to be expected.
So with all my bloviation, I will leave you with this: If people wanted to be made to felt inferior in a community they could just recreate the highschool experience or visit a espn or yahoo board. I’m sure there will be plenty of others striving for a green post or acceptance on this site. I come here to check out Chiefs news and see what fans are talking/excited about, but I didn’t know you had to know account handles from 5 years ago or how a fat chick riding a dolphin is important for your opinion to matter. Keep it classy, AP.

I"m not sure if that was the point, Joe
“In the end, it’s all in fun.”
I think you must’ve missed that part :)
This was written for entertainment as much as anything else. Is there something wrong with a group of people that have known each other a while sharing a few inside jokes?
I know I’ve yet to feel inferior. Everyone’s been very nice.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
"I’ve been on this particular site along time and that somehow makes me better than you, n00b."
Specifically, where did I say that?
I guess I should’ve mentioned:
You're a newb ....when you make up quotes that don't exist
BTW, yes, it’s all in fun. I figured with your username you’d get that.
I apologize for making you feel inferior (highschool experience comment), that wasn’t my intent. It was purely for comedic purposes.
You can always ignore these threads and just stick to the Chiefs news….it’s all good.

I may be a newb based on post count/stuff like that but I know all the inside jokes.
Makes me actually feel creepy for always being around but not saying much.
But if someone wants to argue some Tebow….
