Quick Question: What do you think is the threshold of being a newbie?

[Angry_Panda]

These I'm not clear on if they count

• rigged a contest (minimum participants: 10) (Unclear, I do have the Panzerkampfwagyu Voting Manipulation GmbH, so technically?)
• placed in a contest you rigged (minimum participants: 2 - you get credit for being a ballsy bastard) Technically???
• received a positive reaction of any kind from @Hikineet (seriously, this does happen) I recently got a negative reaction for my testing, does that count?
• were the victim of a @Baronoflight strike fest [no longer attainable] I got one strike from him

Sure, ...okay, no, and no (one strike isn't a strike fest, sorry). So 11.

If you can't name off all the members of the GFG, you are probably too new. Also if you haven't read the obligatory manga.

Touhou - Dairei Jigoku (Doujinshi)

I dont even know what GFG stands for

I dont even know what GFG stands for

But have you read the obligatory manga?

The GFG name stands for:
General
Forum
Gang
or this if you ask @pandascepter

It's a group that's golden years were in V3 when they terrorized the General forum. When they were in their prime their members consisted of @bigtiddyoneesan, @sterven, @pandascepter, @Halo, @justforthelulz, @Teddy, @hazzack, @Tamerlane, @EOTFOFYL, @Ivegotnolife, @Richman, and @BlackGeneral. Nowadays though they are pretty much gone with the only members still around being @bigtiddyoneesan, @sterven, @pandascepter, and @Ivegotnolife and I guess @BlackGeneral but he's kinda out..

An important point in this kind of communities: you need to learn about the regulars' habits. If you can't tell I don't like shounen stuff, should we consider you a different thing than a newbie?

 

[anasnaufal]

Do not be fooled by the date I joined this site & the amount of messages I made.

I am still a newbie. Look at my beautiful default profile picture. That is the biggest indicator of a newbie, which I am.

Damn I've read none of the obligatory manga wth I thought I had some amount of culture at the very least (but why are they all cutesie sol tho)
Thank you for initiating me to forum lore maybe one day I'll shed my shackles to the physical realm and transcend newbiehood.

edit: wait hold on what's this sexual violence tag

It's all cutesie because we need to balance out all the depraved shit we've seen on the forums.

If you want other recommendations that include all genres (mostly slice-of-life), here's a list I quickly made up for someone else: and they are all DMCA-free

yes

Just remember that @Robinisback and @panzerkampfwagyu love yuri. That's BakedBanana tip of the day!

I can't believe guy in between Yuri couple is actually a Yuri tsundere.
I could imagine him saying "I-it's not bad for Yuri!!" and "F-fine! I'll read [insert Yuri story] here just this once" with him doing the "Hmph!" thing tsunderes always does for whatever reason. Dear god

I can see him going “F-fine! I’ll read it just this once!!” while glaring like a true tsundere. Absolute mood.

Lmao, fakeass demon

Unlike me a true to the core.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Hmmmm...
Yeah, I'm totally _not a yuri tsundere, yep yep

Don't mind me, I'll just put guys inbetween yuri as an act of being tsun-tsun, it's perfectly normal and there is no reason to intervene, yep yep.

Wonder if that stacks, it's quite a nice metric to log my successes in

No longer a newbie if your PFP has been changed from the default, and you have done at least three of the following:

• returned following a ban
• appeared in at least two @BakedBanana images (your PFP, anyway)
• received props from @Manko-sensei for your yuri reading list
• started a thread that has hit 100 posts
• did an AMA thread and you responded 'pie'
• placed in a contest (minimum participants: 5)
• rigged a contest (minimum participants: 10)
• placed in a contest you rigged (minimum participants: 2 - you get credit for being a ballsy bastard)
• received a positive reaction of any kind from @Hikineet (seriously, this does happen)
• were the victim of a @Baronoflight strike fest [no longer attainable]
• claimed a post with a number ending in three or more zeroes
• found your way onto any of the four full length leaderboards (one of those is really impressive) (additional point for top 5)
• had an exchange with @pandascepter
• made a Gal☆Cleaning! reference
• paged @HelperHand to respond to a post on @MangaDex's account
• confused @DavidianMillerian (half credit - it's not hard)

• witnessed a nuke of a member by a mod (suggested by @Bartolumiu - IYKYK)

(edited to add 'no default PFP', 'additional point for top 5 leaderboard position', and 'haiku duel')
(edit 2 to add 'witnessed a nuke')

I'm gonna be real with you, I don't think I got a single one of those lol

It's quite weird how I got one point (and almost one another one if He Who Shall Not Be Named as banned earlier) after 1 month of existing here. Strange.

 

[mylovenovels]

Wait, that’s actually kind of shocking. I figured you’d have at least half of these down, considering how long you’ve been around.
might aswell flex my 3 that I got down
