i have been a member on here for a while now but have only recently started posting.
I was wondering when does a newbie become a regular.
and when is somone regular enough for a munch?
thoughts and discussion please!

Well it's par for the course to start posting in earnest when you've settled in after a few months. That's when you cut your spurs so to speak!
You'll soon feel like an old lag! :cheers:

A newbie is a regular when:
you get bitchslapped often and you can actually laugh about it.
you start to complain about "all those newbies"
people actually remember you for who you are or what you look like rather than a half hearted post that was thrown up last week
you know what the abriviations mean without having to ask someone quietly through the PM
you become part of the SH gossip circular and people make things up about who you are shagging this week and how good you are/arent.
you then get PMs about folk complaining about you complaing and the mods threaten to ban you for one more outburst instead of just pressing the button right away
you crave the good old days when you cpould come online and not be hassled/ taken the piss out of/ followed/ stalked/ harrassed/ *add any other choice of annoyance here*
you spend 24/7 on here for at least one week in the hope of a new post that makes you laugh
you spend little time on here cos you have read all the funny stuff before
getting a PM from someone isn't *that* exciting anymore and doesnt make you feel like you were OMG actually noticed
you go back and edit your post to save your ass from getting more bitchslapping cos you offended someone by breathing out to heavily
And most importantly.... you know you are a regular when you have seen Neilnolongerinleeds make one of his very famous very drunken save the world kind of rants in a socialist styleeee.
HTH

It's not as exciting getting a PM now as it was when I first joined! C'mon guys, you can't actually admit that its like that first PM you ever recieved! That :bounce: factor is so minimised after the second one.......... in the day
Ok ok, I admit it. I still soooooo do get a bit excited when I get a PM and find I'm not just talking to myself constantly! :lol:
I'm going to add to the list....
A newbie is a regular when
people pick holes in your argeuements with daft excuses knowing that you will agree just so they'll leave you alone
you write something suggestive in the hope they pick up the end of the string you've left dangling and make a bit of a hijack out of it
they know that Mrs. Davej really does have a wooden leg
