Any idea what you have to do to toss the newb sign. It's a lil bit of an annoyance. Post count perhaps?

Pick on the new guy huh. Just because I'm new to this site does not mean I am new to the audio world!

I'm not a NOOB! I'm not a NOOB! I'm not a NOOB! I'm not a NOOB!

I to have been involved in the audio world since the early 90's and really enjoyed the USAC competitions. Lost touch with it as the shop in my area closed and they were the only ones in the area that hosted shows regularly. Getting back in the groove and found my way here.

Glad to be a NOOB on the SSA Forum!!!!!

How *NOT* To Be a Newbie

Computers Culture Internet Stupidity

By Lilith DemHareIs

Every day thousands of people join the great cosmic force known as the Internet. And many of these people like to go around with big red neon signs screaming NEWBIE!!" (Blinking signs, at that.) The sad part is that they don't know they are wearing these glaring pointers. Very few people are willing to help these poor souls.

If you are new to the Net, here are a few tips to toss off that neon sign.

First of all, don't go around announcing that you are a newbie. This will be apparent without your drawing attention to the fact. Many people will post to a newsgroup, or a maillist or so, saying, "Hi, I'm a newbie, and..." That doesn't help your cause. Most people will ignore newbies. A handful will tell you to go away, or other nasty responses. A very few will actually help you. Letting the denizens of cyberspace know you're inept and clueless does not help, especially in a game of Diplomacy.

Second, watch and learn! Many beginners go off, see the wide world of the Net, and make many common mistakes. If you keep your eyes open you can watch others make these mistakes, suffer for them, then avoid their fate. Spamming, crossposting, misposting, and asking "What is going on?" are usually bad practices. Watch what others do and don't do, and then you can proceed with confidence.

Finally, don't think that you have to distinguish yourself on the net. It's not High School. You don't have to prove yourself or else you end up sitting with the Dweebs during lunch. Take it easy, and go with the flow. Don't think you have to impress people. Chances are, you won't be able to anyway. If you sit back and watch what happens, you'll be able to pick up the gist of the cow without sticking your foot in your mouth.

So toss off that Screaming Newbie sign and realize the joy of being an established Netgeek

hey guys, I'm not new to this forum just haven't posted anything yet. I have been looking at this forum for a few months now and it helps a lot to understand all that goes on in the audio world. I appreciate the knowledge that I can learn from the more experienced audiophiles on here. Car audio is my hobby, I haven't had a chance yet to show my knowledge due to budgets, but this summer I'm gonna work my ass off to build something to impress. Thanks SSA for being the tool to guide me in the right directions.
