[answered]How many posts before I'm not a newbe?

Hi Rover,

If I remember rightly you lose the newbie title at 100 posts, I think the next level is either 200 or 250 and the titles, as far as I have seen, dont mean diddly

Rover, a lot of us know you, relax, okay? Please don't worry about numbers, they don't mean a thing. If you want to chalk up numbers, then get involved in the surprisingly enjoyable word games threads. But don't do that unless you like them, as none of us care how many posts you have.

We like you already.

100 then 250.

Mine just turned to Enthusiast in Training when I hit 50. So I guess I asked too soon.

I know it's not about how many posts you make. It's the quality of the post that's important. I was just curious about how it all works here. And I have to admit it is fun to see that rank jump to a new level once in a while.

...Moving this to Forum Help.

Thanks monger! So, is anybody here a Guru yet? That's a lot of posts...

Nah, but there's a caboodle of veterans

Is a caboodle more than a passel but less than a heap of? Or is it the other way around?

Depends on whether it is the imperial or metric caboodle.

I've been here since 12/2002 and I have yet to hit 500 posts. I believe that many other A2Ker's know me and my style of writing. Pretty deliberative.

If you want to, you can post witty, rapid-fire responses in lots of topics. That will get your count up quickly.

I keep a well-worn dictionary next to my computer. I try to take the time to research words when I see them or before I use them.

I think passel is less than caboodle which is less than "a heap of." But I may be wrong. -rjb- (PS: If you enjoy words, join us at the Balderdash topic).

Real john, meet Aa, some of us know Aa from another forum. Aa is a master of wit and erudition. Aa, meet Real john, a memorable, thoughtful A2ker, however spare the quantity of his posts.

But listen, do Caboodles ever canoodle?

Well I was at a prior answerboard for 2000 posts before I got fed up with the management and burned all of my bridges. They banned me over a review thay I gave them on Zeal.com. It was an honest revew based on my experience of the site, they couldn't take it... Besides, the site became mostly a chat forum and it became hard to find anything serious to post about. It only had about 400 active members there. It's a lot easier to get your post count up with serious subjects here because there's more variety. I think the people are friendlier too. You don't have that clique environment like you had at the board that I came from. People here seem more inteligent and less judgmental (overall). But then, I've only been here a week. :wink:

A good week though, you have a presence on the forums already.

I've been a member since October 2002 and I'm just barely an enthusiast at 285 posts ... well, now I guess it'll be 286 ... (sigh) ...

So much to do, so little time!

rover..welcome aboard and hope you enjoy the serious mixed with the light hearted...its all here.
Soon enough itll be like you were always here-dont worry about the numbers.

Our first guru in training?
