lol I kinda didnt post when I was drunk but I changed my acc name in drunk (motataki --> goroshi-sama). Oh boy it sure was lulzy to see it next day.. though after approx 2 years of using it I managed to change it one more time (kudos to southy :3)
anyway, my nooby days in BBT was approx one time, when I thought that hey I wanna offer something and decided to just offer the ova/special ep of elfen lied.. (those days when ADV was still holding the license for it), got rejected, but in a soft way. after that I learnt my lesson and not a single fail offer have come after that :3 U jellies?!
after that I turned into bad troll (click to show/hide)And how old need to be to become BBT-veteran?
otherwise everyone are just noobs at first in every stuff..
Meomix:
Hahaha omg Southrops face was epic.
Anyway i think its 500 posts to become a BBT veteran.
Roven:
I'm not really active on the forums most of the time. I keep to myself not to get more involved so my noobiness wont show.
This was my first thread (I think) and since it seems that it got some of the veterans out of their cave, It was a victory for me :) especially when I only had twenty something posts.

No monitor; all programming was done type-written on paper. Monitors were too luxurious to waste on freshmen; they were reserved for upper classmen and professors. PASCAL, COBOL, Structured Basic ... how I remember you with great loathing and no small amount of fear.

Some of us are still using COBOL in the real world. I don’t program in it myself, but pretty much all of my job for the last 10 years has been about testing code written in it. COBOL is still going strong in certain circles.
On topic, similar to datora, my internet experience goes back a ways. I went through internet noobiness when a 28.8k modem was considered fast. On the bakabt forums, I didn’t really have a noob phase, as I was already familiar with forums. I wasn’t very familiar with bittorrent before starting here, but I’m not a complete idiot and I figured it out without having to post a bunch of stupid questions.

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.

well, the gil system was basically money. you got gil every time you posted. you had to buy stuff to upgrade your posts, like larger sig space, multiple colors you could choose from to make your nick kewl, etc etc. it was fun and there were only like 30 members back then lol. we still have a facebook group where we all keep in touch. we even skype a couple times a year. we used to have an irc channel but no has logged on to it in years.
anyway, ya, the more gil you had the cooler you were lol ;)
