I've been here for a few weeks, have basic control of prims, my own land and even put some simple things up for sale (because I can) but I haven't seen a mammoth *aww* or met Torley *spits seed* so am I officially still a newbie?! :)

Haha daz -- *blush* well random Torley moments are the best. At least in my own view, where nothing's forced and you're just gliding through the sandbox and I fall out the sky and say "Hi!" UNEXPECTEDLY. It happens. I really don't like to schedule. ;)

Whatever you do, enjoy your Second Life and even tho I've been here over half a year, there's still lots to learn. I'm still a newbie to building, so more important than any single label would be you continuing to grow and progress in here. And having lots o' fun.


P.S. Torley Sr. is the he, he's in another reality. I'm Torley Jr., SHE, representing in tha hizzouse. :)

How does that adage go? If you have to ask, you're still a newbie. :)

If you haven't been in world as long as me, then you are a newbie in my eyes. :cool:

Never. I am still a newbie in many aspects. I just recently learned to make a proper alpha channel rather than cheating PS to do it.

I am learning how to convert my video files to .mov

I am a newbie in many veins. I am neither proud nor embarrased to state as such.

Some people are born newbies and never grow up, others are born oldbies.. Most people will fall somewhere inbettween! I'm sure your day will come soon enough :)

It used to be that people were generally considered "not a noob" after 30 days of hardcore SL usage. Nowadays I think you have to be approved as a non-newbie by the FIC.

You will be a newbie until some FIC'er teaches you the secret handshake. Don't let anyone tell you differently..

I have been in the 'game' for a little over six months and still consider myself a newbie.

I have seen so called newbies create some incredible things in their very first week in-world, and then there are others (like me) that have been around for a while and have not contributed much.

You will always be a newbie in the eyes of some and others will be newbies in your eyes, so it balances out, I guess ;)

If I was you, I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the game!

You stop being a newbie when you start contributing to the community in any way that you can....some people fly around for a week with their jaws wide open and eye balls bulging from their sockets....some months....but eventually you find your thing and start doing it :D
