Just participate - it will come in time - and hopefully it shouldn't be a long time

Being a rookie is not something we frown upon by the way - it's just a part of who you are and your identity here You shouldn't find anyone giving you trouble because you're a rookie so I wouldn't worry

Hey Mr. Deflok, I'm happy staying at the rookie level if it means going through the same experiences you've had to become a 'big leaguer.' "Enjoy!"

Don't worry about tags or "status".

It's all about being a contributing part of the community.

THAT'S what will get you respect around here.

Deflok, you are a cut up. Thanks.

Jephree,
Rookie just lets people know that you are finding what your persona is going to be here. That's a good thing. I honestly can't recall how many posts it takes to get to the next level, or even what that is, but it really isn't all that many. If you want to shake the rookie tag, the esiest way to do it is to find a forum in the Academy or Intersts or Creativity that really interests you, and find threads that you have a lot to say about and say it. Above all, though, be nice. If you say something iffy, soften it with an emoticon. If you are going to argue in Tilted Politics especially, be ready to back it up: we don't do flamewars here; that's what Fark is for.

But mostly, just have a good time. And you've given me a good idea for a new custom status, so thanks!

Crap we're supposed to contribute I've only been talking ish

numist

wait.... theres cake here?

Minx

I believe you mean maggot!

But you are correct with your advice....don't post just to increase your number. Quality over quantity will get you where you want to be.

Aww dammit, I thought that said COOKIE not ROOKIE. I like cookies....

whawhawha

When are they serving grape juice? I came for the grape juice.

Zamunda

by the by, I'm not worried about upping my status, it'll come, but will donating do anything to help? I really like this site, and it should continue... a screw it, i'll donate, I wont a little Donor sign on my name... at least until I get to put a pic up there or something.

Edit: took out the offensive language... sorry

Jephree

cuss cuss

Zamunda

so what exactly do you gain from becoming tilted? or more specifically, what status should one achieve to gain access to more of the site

rat

funny minx, that's exactly what the ladies here prove...quality > quantity. we have alot of ladies here fellaz...but it's the quality of them that sets apart from every other forum community out there (and no, Wayside and TB do NOT count in that comment)

and in response to the last post-- status and access change as one participates. i can't honestly tell you what comes where because i just notice things at random. what you'll probably end up doing is posting in a handful of forums and so the others don't seem to change because you don't look at them. then one day you're like "holy shit, when did that one show up?" and so you dive into it and check it out--only to find that the people there are those you want to associate on these boards because they've also made their commitment to improving the community over their own status. patience. trust me. posting until you receive your avatar or the ability to change your title is a hollow goal--once you're there, you sit there wondering "well, what next?"

to be quite honest, its not the title, I was slightly interested in the titty board... but i guess im just as interested in politics so I'll make do

rat

Contrary to the bandwidth and user statistics, this community is so much more. Hell, even Wayside is better But, then I'm a little off-kilter myself

*wonders if he's a rookie*
haven't posted for awhile :\

nevermind, i see i am a damn rookie, heh

Shpoop

same reason i came here...i started posting, and have never once been there, just dont feel the need i thought i did when i came here

having said that, wtf is going on! im so confused...there are 2 ppl talking about how they are rookies when they post, and yet one even has an avatar and a custom title, and these are not old posts, they are from january 2004

mystmarimatt

Jephree, it's simple, all you have to do is become somebody's bitch, and you're in like flynn.

I'll even let you be mine, if you want.

SecretMethod70

Yup, and it's 2 months later now. 60 days * a modest 5 posts per day = 300 posts So, as you can see, it's not unreasonable by any means for a person who joined in Jan 04 to have an avatar by now

I need to be someone's bitch too... dangit, i thought i was past all that when i got out of prison!

Crack

You can be my bitch if you want, it's won't get you anywhere though... but maybe when you do reach your post count where you can have a spiffy custom title, it can read:

"I was Crackprogram's bitch!"

yeah, that's the stuff! and hey, can you pick up my dry-cleaning before you start on your chores,

my bee-och!
