Why is IA so newb unfriendly?

[superboost]

//rant on

Sort of a rhetorical question, but I know the average peanut gallery will chime in. Anyway, my friend and I were talking the other day, and I had to ask myself, why is IA so newb unfriendly. And I'm not talking the inexperienced, ignorant newb's either, who post bass-ackwards stuff and are a general nuisance. I'm referring to the people who have been on the Atl/street scene for years and decide to join up, only to be run off by the rabblerousers. The one's who have been messing with cars awhile, are well known elsewhere, but are newbs only to this site.

I speak of users like ixlr8, aka the man with the 9 sec spitfire (i hope i'm not givin u away man...) and a few others. Hell, I"ve been messing about the Atlanta scene 6 years, have had my volvo womping ass nearly as long (had a dodge daytona before that) and still am somewhat a newb and are treated as such.

oh and ibtl.




Oh well

fair enough- I never had any trouble when I started. Its just like a new job- try and fly low and figure out who runs it. Once you have established yourself as "not a dumbass" then fly away. It is the n00bs who start hassling right away that get run off.

it depends on where ur posting on the site.......but im friendly to new people unless they come in acting like assholes,which then i just dont even bother

[Jecht]

Because we like scaring them off. Its a good source of humor.

yeah but some of them still stick around :rolleyes:

[CSquared]

lol when you join IA, you aren't actually becoming a member of IA.

It's like hazing in a fraternity... If you make it through all of the shit we give you, THEN you officially become a member.

(I'm just being an asshole)

[Jaimecbr900]

I've noticed, especially in the last yr, that the vast majority of newbs come in with a chip on their shoulder and keyboard commando attitudes. If people behave themselves and don't do stupid newb things, the majority of the time they fly low enough on any OG's radar to not be noticed.

When they come in with a big marching band and signs going "look at me, look at me", that's usually when someone gives them a reality check.

With that said, IA is harsher than most when it comes to newby treatment. Good thing I'm not one.... :D :goodjob:

[Ed]

yeah, im still a newb to some but it was hard getting to where i am... ive been owned several times by the OG's... i guess just be patient and take your time to meet them in person. i used to hate ia because of all the douchebaggery but ive learned that its all fun and games! lol

Gotta passed the test........

[Lucky DAWG]

just don't be a jackass and wave your gay pride flag in the air for a few months and you will be cool. I'm sure the other areas of the site are much more friendly. But the whores lounge has its own little society.

it doesn't matter if you are known elsewhere or if you know more about cars then anyone else. In the whores lounge its all about wit, and all others see is your join date and post count.

you just gotta get on people's good sides until you get enough e-friends to start rippin new ones to the new asshole newbs.


get it? :-P

the only reason this kid has rep is because he played a really good prank on people....


don't listen to him...







you are a newb, go out there and fight for what is yours..... :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:





lol! chase you should hit up wii nights with us... after all i did buy it from you.

[v-empire]

but i havent spoken about anything about cars and i dont think i willbecause i am not qualified enough.
and i see how people are online and to me its pretty amusing how they act
differently when they are around others in person.
e-thugging is pretty darn hillarious to me altho i do not participate and i wont bash anyone for no reason.

but regardless, you guys are up front and i know how it is, coz i ve been viewing for over 3 years and it seems to me i know all of you because of how you portray yourselfs, and characters are built.
i ve met many of you but i never posted so jolly ranchers, i m never on here to BS.

glad you spoke how it is and i appreciate it.

gay pride....lol. thats great. gay is great...lol

Stop saying the same thing over and over to everybody whom you'd like to say is "following you" stupid twat burger.

I started under a different username. Came on initially looking to buy stuff. I also made a post asking why I couldn't make a WTB thread. Also explaining that I planned on hanging around but just needed to get my car back on the road. I never really was ball busted then. When I got my CRX It commenced, until things were straightened out.


Now shut up, quit bitching, and leave. lol

And nobody asked you to continue breathing ya stupid hoe bag. I was clearly stating that I made my dumbass posts, and never really got ball busted for it. Its all about how you carry yourself.

In your case, in a hand bag to the local VD clinic.

Maybe you fail to realize that my life doesn't revolve around saying shit to your silly hoe bag ass on IA. However, it's tuesday night. Not much going on so I'm rather bored. Now keep your whore bag tendancies to a minimum, and get back to makin my money.

[Jecht]

Your one to talk about weak. Btw, my mirrors arent painted. Shit, i forgot, they're like that from factory. A silly hoe who knows nothing about cars. GTFO Teenie bopper.

[Jecht]

Stick it out noobs, your story may be like mine and you'll help moderate the site, and ban at the drop of a button

[Glides]

IA is newb unfriendly because 99% of every noob on here does the same thing. They come in threads and either cause drama or spout off a ton of ignorant rubbish in a vain attempt to make a name for themselves. Instead of just sitting back, acting cool and speaking out on what you know to be right, they pop off at the mouth and act like retards.

So it's not just IA, it's any website forum where idiots are not tolerated.

[0p7!mu5]

Dude I'm a newb but I havent had it that damn bad. Well one I don't go off like an idiot about shit I dont know.I've been readin this site since '05 just never really had the time to actually join. I got dissed once but that was my fault for posting on an old ass thread. most guys here are pretty cool outside of the site I mean I've met a few. The whole n00b thing is just like anything in life, you're new you're gonna get hell til you can tough it out you'll make it. Just dont be an ass you'll live. Hell Im doin ok so far. So chill and quit bitchin its the name of the game man.
