Well, my opinion on all this:
I bet even at the old days there were talks about older days. I can see it in the game I\'m creating with some guys. We\'re now two years down in development -- around beta -- and I was part of it since a year and a half. Well, I am not considered an oldbie, because there were people part of the development for 3 months longer. Anyway for the newbies were just all oldbies, cos they only joined 3 months ago, and a year seems so long.
This is quite the same in PS. The members who are here for over a year are considered equally an oldbie by the newbies as the players of old who have more than two years behind their account.
And don\'t forget that while talking bout the old days, you\'re talking about your own newbie times. I think everyone looks back at those times with nostalgy. So much to explore, such a future ahead. When I joined the game in august I simply loved it and played it countless hours. Recently I\'m picking up again with regular visits, this time not as an exploring newbie, but to help newer members around, give them the experience you had. I might in no way be an oldbie with my six months, but I think I come close to being one, and I think the real definition of an oldbie would be someone who can answer most experiences around PS with: \"been there, done that\".
Edit:
Saz: Heh dad, nice reasoning, it is indeed true that the current oldbies have never been newbies, because there were too few oldbies.
And I need to fix that image in my sig...
