Same here, I think the best time to drop that 'newb' status is after you've been on forums or what have you else for at least a year or so.
A year? O_O Thats quite alot. I'd say six months is more reasonable. After all, some people may have more time to be on the forums than others.
Oh man, you're not THAT much of a newbie. XD
It'd be nice to see you around the SB sometime.
Haha, why thank you ^^ I try my best to not be a newb or n00b (although i dont recall ever being a n00b anywhere).
Hmm...the SB you say? Perhaps i shall give it a try then.
