How many newbies will last?

[Praetor]

Can I just say...as a "noob" who was planning on sticking around, reading some of the posts in this thread has almost made me reconsider. When did your post count have any bearing on your validity as a member of a community?

Also, I resent the assumption that all "noobs" have never seen any Trek besides the new film. Yes, I joined because I saw the movie. Mainly because watching ST09 brought up all sorts of ideas/questions which my friends were 100% not interested in! So I joined a board in order to have those discussions with people who know what I'm on about. You may be surprised to learn that, shock horror, I've actually seen all the other series!

Anyway. There's my 2 cents. We'll see if I stick.

I think you may have taken certain comments in this thread a little too seriously.

I agree. I think you'll find most of us who have been here a while, while still fully capable of having a logical discussion, have a rather absurd sense of humor.

That said, I hope you'll stick around, too, Braindeer.

Supreme Admiral that's so trolls and spammers can't readily post pr0n on the TrekBBS. Don't worry, you'll get to the magical two-week/50-post stage soon enough

WHAT!? NO PORN?!

Oh, and I'm still here :]

Hey, I saw what you did there. If you're committed even without pr0n, you're in for the long haul.

Good morning! I'm still here.

Damn! The assassin obviously missed ...

Never trust flying squirrels to do a fiddler crab's job.

At any time, a certain proportion of newbies will drop out for lack of toughness or loss of interest. But the board is currently lively and fun, and I hope that lasts. As long as it lasts, most people will stick around. We can hope for a bit of a snowball effect.

You've made Commander so you don't count as a newbie any more!

 

[Praetor]

Aye, give the man a destroyer.

 

[NickInABox]

*DAMN*

You'll make admiral in no time, old man.

Damn, I've been here almost 6 years and I'm still not an Admiral. I'd best get spamming so I can keep that booger-picking upstart in his place!

It took me the better part of 8 years before I made Admiral.

Don't have a clue, but I see less then 20% percent of noobies will stay longer then a year.

20 Quatloos on the newcomers.

IF that's the case, ill go 50 Quatloos.

As for the now confused newbies, they'll have to watch it to figure that out. And by that time, they'll be suckered into staying mahaha.

[Kirk's_Tights]

I'll last.


Do I win anything?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

The hearts of many members.

Also, many members.

 

[Ashu]

How come I never got many members? And stop ignoring me. You're a horrible husband.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Because since you're an ignored, they ignored you.

 

[Ashu]

You're an ass You know Ive been trying to move away from that.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Well ... yes. And once an ignored, always an ignored.
