How to stop being a NOOB?

[Murrrr]

this is horrible, but I understand why it is necessary.

You can teach someone how to lose the Newbie forum status, but it's hard to teach someone to stop being a NOOB

It's over the top to require 5 hours logged in, when the time doesn't seem to increase from reading. I've been on this site for several days and it's only showing 2 hours and 15 minutes. It doesn't take hours to do 5 posts.

I guess I'm a lurker noob. Ir says Ive been logged 6 hours and 45 minutes.

I feel like I'm in a time warp and noob time passes more slowly. I posted in another thread over an hour ago, came back to it half an hour later and the time increased only a couple of minutes.

Same thing happened to me. I just refreshed the page and I was set.

If I only were not a noob... (the 4 hrs is fine, but the clock stops after just a minute or two is what hurts)

Very funny, but I'm finally out of newburgatory now, so I will laugh.

I'm getting tired of being a noob also. I've had romantic encounters that took less time than graduating out of noobdom.

Is there something special about the time logged in counter that I don't know about?  I had been logged in and reading for over three hours, yet when I came back the next day I noticed that the total time the board showed me logged in was only 43 minutes!

And yes, I had actually been reading.  The thread I was reading was over 25 pages long . . . the one on Cyprus where the bank took over 700k+ euros from Zeroday's account.  Sad and frustrating story!

But I love the happy ending that Bitcoin saved him...

So, frustrating -
I lurk here for a while, I find a pool, I join it, pool shuts down, only way to get access to my coins is to PM the owner through this... and apparently I can't do that without some BS "community" activity?

What exactly is the newbie policy supposed to protect against?

I am sure I have been logged in longer then 4 hours. This is taking forever.

[tentoamillion]

You has to post.

Is there maybe an option to set your browser to 'refresh every 1 minute'?

Some are brand newbie

You are a NOOB as long as you don't waste 4 damn hours looking around what other NOOBs are writing. Cheers!

[Thorgrim]

I thought I only needed 5 posts? already have more then that.

Hi All,

Just a lame question. Is the Total time logged that counts for the 4 hours noob period??

regards,
