Noob Days...
Meomix:
Well during my days on the wowcraft forums, most of my time was spent asking "WTF does this thing do?" cause nothing in the game made sense, same with the anarchy online forums.
My noob moment was back in runescape when trusting this retard with my rune sword 2 hander which costed over 50k in exchange for a santa hat later (100k) i decided to say fuck it and scam other people out of their possessions.
I guess back then the main bulk of my time was spent in yahoo gaming chat were any noobish incidents would get drowned in the noise.

I don't think I had any nooby moments on BBT. If I did, they must be insignificant because I don't remember them.
My noob moments were in Ragnarok Online, when I spent my first week or so throwing away the items i picked up worth 1-2 zeny. Later I realized that if I had made a merchant and sold all of them I wouldn't be in poverty.
Then I got all 1337 and was soon one of the richest characters in the server.

Im trying to remember the time when I was a noob here...I remember at one time I was the #1 spammer on the forums. Able to do 100+ post per day. I remember my very first thread I made though. It was called "Hit 1K post"....ah the memories and I get yelled at for that thread.

I spent most of the 1990s spooking .alt newsgroups & BBs, so my n00b 'stakes R burnt & buried in pixels of cHaOs before the Dawn of t3h Webz. Generally speaking, they were few 'cuz I also learn fast & hard (usually).
Been called a troll many an occasion, nearly every single case by someone who didn't read carefully and place the context exactly. One of my favorite hobbies is to hand someone with their own rope. Nobody ever told me go RTFM! because I pretty much do before I start posting (I'm a trained and educated research scientist -- I cut my teeth in a university environment where your peen is measured by how often you Figure It Out before anyone else). Usually I spook a forum for a month or three before my first post, and I've been mod a few times and was The Admin for a large commercial forum for three years.
I was pwning trollz before pwning was a word, web browsers had been invented, or teh google was even an idea.
Luke ... I am your father. ;) ;D

but to answer your question. yes i have. my first few posts on this site went no where lol. everyone was like, who the hell is this guy. once i was more accepted in the community my threads were taken more seriously.

wait, what is this "gil system" you speak of? and, yeah. true that. but it won't be a problem unless you live and breath internet.

Second, I actually read the rules.
Third, whenever I made something new, I copied the style of a sensei

hmm, so that just means some people are just too dumb to actually find the rules and FAQ. that's the first thing i do when i don't understand shit about something.
also, "copied the style of a sensei", what?

2) Don't post when drunk. i drink but i never tried drinking enough to get drunk. might try it once for the kicks.
3) Don't post when you're too tired to type coherently. people actually do this? oh wait
4) Don't post when your spelling ability is incapacitated in any way. ouch, i am very susceptible to this
5) Don't post until you've read your post at least twice and checked for grammar, .... i'm sure my fails are archived but to hell with that
readability and spelling errors. Your memory is short, but Google's isn't.

I knew your internet literacy* had to come from experience, but i didn't expect it to be from around the time shit was still in 16 bit! also, what's your equivalent of google back then?
* if that's the proper word for it
