was going to post this in SD, but seems better suited here. To differentiate between the veterans, raging newbosauruses (me) and all imbetween... why not display the "join date" above karma or something? sry if it's already been mentioned, didn't come up on search
Btw, hope I haven't completely annoyed you all since I joined. trying to follow proper newb ediquette. It's sad I look forward to getting on NS after work, but it just goes to show how much this site has to offer. The only thing that keeps me level headed on the off season is relating to other skiers
**spark notes - I'm a noob
Ok, I feel I need to say something here.
Firstly, I am 29 years old and have been involved in mountain sports since the age of 8… I have been at sponsored athlete level, coach and generally been to more places around the planet “playing” in big (very) mountains then pretty much 90% of the people here.
That said, I love this website and I have lurked on here for as long as it has existed – but have never joined, simply because I used it as a source of information and because a lot of people seemed like tools to each other on here – and come on, you have to admit, there is a lot of hate sometimes… which I admit to finding funny more times then not. In fact, I never realized how funny some of you f******s are actually and regularly have spit coffee out laughing moments.
The reason I joined recently was because I moved from the UK, to America for a new job and used this site as a means of finding cool people for info on places I’ve always wanted to ride in N America - CO, Utah… etc etc… so technically, I’ve only been a member for a few months…. So I think you need to define Noobs – surely they should just be called “the idiots”, or more then likely kids under the age of well probably 20… to be honest.
Show some respect where respect is due, you never know who that “noob” actually is yeah… but – I’m 100% behind flaming them if they come on and act like dicks… but calling for all new members to be banned is mildly retarded… and shows the reason it took me 10 years or however long it is to actually bother joining the NS.
Peace all.
