You can't find the basement ..............

You come into the chat room and ask questions about some show called LOST.......

You start a thread that has been discussed over and over again ...........

You end a thread with please be kind I am new to this......

You actually believe Morb is not BI .................

You enter the chat room and discuss colors ...........

You enter the chat room and don't CHAT .............

You type long paragraphs at once in the chat room ...........

You use big words in the chat room ................

You get easily offended by what other people post and lost sight of the fact that this is just a web site and not real life ..........

[Lady Zoltar]

You know you're a NEWBIE when you don't know what the "P" word is

[morbius47]

You don't know gs is satan - the father of lies
You get offended when people don't agree with your "brilliant" post
You think they may all be in purgatory
You don't know where the wine cellar is
You think the dungeon is a bad place
You've never heard of the treehouse
You don't know about the island presidential race or the queen of the island

[gscaleta]

When you believe them with their lies about not posting purgatory threads ..............

[DriftWood]

...when you accept my candy.

[gscaleta]

You don't know how to F5 ....................

[morbius47]

You think that Jack is a great doctor.
You think Locke is a nice guy.
You don't know what a Boone beating is.
You think we are all Dom fans.
You actually use spell check on every post.
You think you must use smiley faces on all your posts.
You haven't yet figured out how to tell sarcasm from actual sentiment.

[cccourt]

if you don't understand janing,
have to ask when the next NEW episode airs,
don't stand when the master enters,
believe the island cannot be charted,
recognize gs's ploy to show kate pics,
understand bastion's Christmas gift rules.

[gscaleta]

Don't know that EDI is one of the nicest around.........

Don't know the meaning of neating, yeagin or neaming ........

[Trader Bill]

don't stand when the master enters,

Grazi, but really, just saying Hello to me is enough.

[Trader Bill]

Do not forget, you are only one comment away from a "visit"

[jekelish]

If...you have to ask "wait...so is GS really a midget?"

If...you've never heard of Chuck, Orgasmo, or the multiple personalitied Sawyers Girl.

If...you come in and act supportive of Morbi's "lifestyle choice."

:hat

[Chance Gardener]

you come into the chat room and ask why aren't we talking about LOST????

only people with candy, height issues, or anti-Purgatory buttons are the only people replying to your post.

you still don't know how to turn off your caps when you post.

you fail to post your name, address, phone number, and a revealing (or compromising) picture of yourself by the tenth post.

you post "I've looked all over for this but don't see anyone talking about it so <INSERT FIFTEENTH VERSION OF THE THREAD HERE>" three posts above the 17th newbie's exact same post.
(No but really, we care about you and want only to validate your existence so please, share freely with us.....)

[TT Coco Pop]

You can't find the basement ..............

Where is the basement? LOL Or is this a running joke y'all play on newbies?? And who in the heck is the wicked witch??

Y'all can flog me I can take it! :lol

~Terry~

[LostinTrinity]

You have officially found the basement. Hope you have good shoes and a good flashlight. Now just be careful if you enter the wine cellar (or whatever they're calling it today)

Actually this forum used to be way at the bottom, but they made them move it up so now it's actually on the second floor. I think (since I never get a straight answer in there) the wine cellar is the chat room. Make sure you have even better shoes and bigger light and thick skin if you venture there.:eek

[TT Coco Pop]

Thanks!! This board seems like a pretty fun place to me! I'll have to check out that wine cellar too....

~Terry~

[JacksGirlfriend]

It's way easier to find the wine cellar if you're already drunk. And if you're not old enough to drink, you should probably stay away. There are however a great many other places to play, including the dungeon. I'm partial to the dungeon myself.

[walkingcarpet23]

You think posting under different names, some of those being of different gender and age, is the trendy new thing.

[morbius47]

you think kate is the hot chick on the show

[Wynter Zera]

You think Sawyer is a boring red-neck.

[Clementine Kruczynski]

Your first posts are in the Charlie thread consisiting mainly of OMG and your Dom sex dreams

OR......

Out of your total brilliance you come up with the astounding idea that they may all be DEAD!!!

[Clementine Kruczynski]

You start your very first post like this:

"This has probably been posted before... in fact, I know it has, but I'm not going to sift through seventeen pages to find a dead thread. (I'm also new to the boards, so I wouldn't have seen it earlier.)"

(a real first post)

[Chance Gardener]

...you ask what is the EZ Hack forum about that everyone keeps talking about.

[Celtic Ceilidh]

Most of this thread doesn't make sense.

[Chance Gardener]

Actually, I think only a few of the posts in this thread are no longer applicable.

[yung23]

why do you guys keep talking about string ?

[DohBoy]

YEAH I DONT KNOW WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS!!!!

[izabelladown]

When you have 5 posts and honestly believe it's OK to join in this thread.

[Chance Gardener]

why do you guys keep talking about string ?you are really into tailoring and needlepoint.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

You get defensive even when people compliment you.

[Brian]

You get offensive even when people compliment you! :)

You know, I hate to toot my own horn (mainly cause I can't bend over far enough - however, that is a whole other discussion altogether) but I have to say, I thought this was funny.

I mean, I ain't gonna be able to quit my day job with it, but still, it was funny.

[Brian]

Yet another great thread eaten by the Great EZHack of 2005. The Basement talk doesn't apply any more here, but everything else does. See how long we've been dealing with repetitive threads? :)

[SpidermanHouston]

"The Dharma symbol is on the shark!!!!!!!"

[merry slug]

Did anyone else notice that the Numbers add up to 108 ?!?!?!?!

[Lost In His Eyes]

OMFG!! Did anyone else see the numbers here and there in the episode!?

[juanbong]

I have read all the posts and I didn't see this posted yet so.... (and the same thing they post is posted on page 2).

[azteclady]

This made me smile madly.
You know you are a NEWBIE when ......................Most of this thread doesn't make sense.Actually, I think only a few of the posts in this thread are no longer applicable.For once, Chance was not on the ball.

This, on the other hand, made me sigh.I have read all the posts and I didn't see this posted yet so.... (and the same thing they post is posted on page 2).
or it's posted in the same page, right below their own little thread that they just started because, hey, no one else is sharp enough to notice whatever it is they are posting, but even if someone were that sharp, it's not the same interpretation. Or phrasing. Or language. Or whatever.

[YouFirst]

OMFGSAWYERJOSHJACKWTFSHARKNUM3eRsiLoVePuRGAtOry!!! 1!1!1111!

Yeah that...

I think I'm in :heartpump

[BooneWasABoar]

The irony of it all is, there is nothing new in this thread that hasnt been discussed in many before it. (or, with exception to the new discussion, many after it)

He who casts the first stone and all...

[LostInWilderness]

But it's not a new thread; it's an old thread revived. Leuthen is no newbie.

[BooneWasABoar]

I was referring to the recent additions to the thread and the plethora of newb related and duplicate discussions currently in Lostaways.

[LostInWilderness]

That's something a n00b would say. ;)

[BooneWasABoar]

Thats something an elitist veteran would say. ;)

[Brian]

Opinions vary I suppose. This thread pre-dates me here at the LOST-TV forums. What was started before I came here, still holds true today whether you consider one an "elitist veteran" or a "newbie." In the words of Louis Gossett Jr. in Enemy Mine; "Truth is truth."

[Magical Trevor]

When you read either my Obvious Facts thread or my Whats the Most Annoying Piece of Old News a Newbie Can Say poll and think I'm a newbie basher.

[merry slug]

Yes. It's venting. Steam must be released occasionally so valves won't blow.

[mystjade]

Merry - you absolutly correct.

Besides everyone was a newbie at somepoint, and while some people never move past that, those that do move on, earn the right to mock a stage where they used to be.

I have been here for a long time (I started lurking in augest of 2004, and posting in december). If I didn't get the chance to vent once in a while, I probley still wouldn't be here. Partialy because of newbies, and partialy because (compertivly) this board has had to deal with a lot more issues then the avrage board.

[MJBinNC]

Exactly. I know that I have done my share - but I try to be nice about it. I know that I started a couple of threads way back when the new season started related to this "I have the answer!" and "Anyone else have a headache". (Can you tell that I've now taken to going back LOTS of pages to find old threads?)
Once again - the term newbie doesn't equate with post count - but attitude.

[Brian]

(Can you tell that I've now taken to going back LOTS of pages to find old threads?)

The last 3 old threads that I've revived have come from pages 36 and 37 of Lostaways. There are a lot of good older threads buried back there.

That said, yes we were all newbies at one time. I had just started lurking here about the time mystjade began posting. Being a newbie isn't so much about that number under your name, rather, your attitude and actions here on the board.

[MJBinNC]

Leuthen - I don't thing you were ever a "newbie" - even when your post count was 1. ;)
(the same can be said for quite a few posters here)
I can't even remember mine.... I didn't start posting until last May - and it was lost in great EZhack.

[deana]

Lol,you could say I was a newbie from my first post.It was of course in the Welcome forum,but that's not why.I had this hideous giant Charlie sig.(OMG!I know!I can't believe I liked him so much back then.)Anyway,the sig was too big,so KF2 sent be a PM to resize it.I felt so stupid for not having read the rules.:ashamed:
