All these new people on the forums lately seem to be making it smell kinda bad? And it also seems to be that more and more people are growing crankier and crankier. Just an observation by someone trying to reach 300 posts.

Spy, ratsmack is right, we were all newbies once...I can remember myself being one. But some people here like Phantasmal may have a small amount of posts because the read but might not feel like providing their comments or spend heir time playing PSO. Maybe some new comers might be annoying a little, but vetime they will see the light.

I hear ya spy. Most of the new posters decide to start a thread that already exists. Instead of going back to the 13 plus pages to see if their question has been answered.

Actually, most of the newbies post non-related topics in the wrong forums, or just ask alotta really annoying questions that, if they researched, they could find the answers to easy enough. These questions, along with posts like "Hi, I'm new here, anyone got some cool stuff for me?" get very, very old. And even the old servers weren't this laggy when I joined, back in the day.

You know what is sad is when I see people with way more post than me ask like first week questions, or they say "Dood stole my l33t Weapon" and its like, Ok you have tons of posts so its obvious you come to the boards...Do you think maybe you should read them too? oh well

Board is way over run with new people, and its hard to filter and find any fun or useful formation. I prefer Quality over Quantity http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif

I mean for crying out loud look at Ambrai..I have NO idea how he even works or plays trying to keep up his post count http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

True, there do seem to be quite a few recurring topics, but what is a "newbie"?

(Referencing to Phantasmal's post) Is it by the date you joined, by the amount of post you have, or what?

If its by the number of posts, yeah, I guess I am a newbie even though I have had the game on the very day it came out here in the US. Hmm...., maybe I need to switch to a stronger anti-perspirant. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif
