When you graduate from being a 'newbie'????

How often do you have to post before you become a regular MNer????

and when are you considered MN royalty????

I was on MP's roundup once, was embarrassingly chuffed and tried to get DH to be as excited as me. I think you can guess he was not.

SenoraPostrophe · 20/05/2007 21:05

flumpybumpy, the answer to all of your questions is "when you are ready ".

Although I admit I originally thought that you stop being a newbie when wickedwaterwitch or Aloha respond to one of you posts. Cod wasn't here when I started you see...

ThatBeetroot · 20/05/2007 21:03

I 'don't give a damn'

WideWebWitch · 20/05/2007 21:02

I've been in MP's round up a few times I think

and I'm sometimes on lists
have been here 5 years
visit every day
damn job gets in the way a bit though

WK007 · 20/05/2007 20:57

Think there is only one definitive way to cross over from being a newbie to being a....whatever - do something or have something done to you you will be remembered for forever (or at least more than a month). Ie;

cod has her 'wonderful' spelling
pph is 'the office girl'
RTKM is the omnipotent telly guide

etc etc

....alternatively if you're here enough you become part of the furniture and will never appear on any list because you just ARE

brimfull · 20/05/2007 20:55

I have been mentioned on round up but don't post enough to be recognised
but I do recognise most of the royals

Hi - I've been lurking - newbie.
What is mp's round up?

BecauseImWorthIt · 20/05/2007 20:39

I've been mentioned on lists twice.

Never made MP's round up.

Have definitely heard of (and have much respect for) Nursey Jo re the foxy lady and all that brouhaha

Would love LDC but too many carbs for a low carber!

Am v humble in the face of so many wise and funny women

lulumama · 20/05/2007 18:17

PMSL , Boco, bet you make all the funny mnetter lists!

Boco · 20/05/2007 17:48

I made the round up, my sister texted me to tell me, it was a great day, a turning point. After that, fame kind of went to my head, i started gambling, swearing, leering at young men, i've not been the same since. I used the c word once.

RustyBear · 20/05/2007 17:45

lulu - I think you were born a famous Mner.....

lulumama · 20/05/2007 17:31

not made LDC...waiting to be sent one last time i baked, i ended up in A&E

made a few lists

never made the round up, but my sister has ..does that count?

newbie or not?

don;t care acksherly

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2007 17:31

Well get baking that cake woman. I'll pour the drinks and bump on the sofa to make room for you

PeachyChocolateEClair · 20/05/2007 17:29

Dunno st g but I've been here 6 years too in various guises and I'm classed as a newbie on this scale

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2007 17:27

I have never made LDC (because I can't bake AND I'm still waiting for Marsy to post me one along with my box of chocs )

I rarely get mentioned on list threads (except by Flamey and she's scared not too )

I am never witty enough to make it into the round-up .

I have been a MNer for 6 years.

Hmmmm, does that make me an oldie or a newbie?

MamaMaiasaura · 20/05/2007 17:26

although if cake is offered.. chocolate is much nicer

MamaMaiasaura · 20/05/2007 17:25

never been offered a slice of lemon drizzle cake

PeachyChocolateEClair · 20/05/2007 17:22

I have made many a ldc, and even sent one into the school fayre last year (not this, as there's a woman who considers herself LDC (not Mars, another recipe) queen and she didnt speak to me for a year LOL! So I stick to lemon poppyseed and choc ornage for the fayres now

Far easier LOL

Dior you're not a nobody, we have our own A&C listings and we're in crows there

I did get called thick by a newbie yesterday, surely that counts??
