To be quite honest, I never was a newbie at Blizzforums. In fact, I was a newbie in the Starcraft.org forums for a few months before the forums had merged with Starcraft Legacy's forums to make Blizzforums back in August, 2001.
My first appearance in message boards was at
http://www.gamerevolution.com back in 1999 when it was basically run by dUKE. The forum had a threaded style in which you had to click on every single post in order to find out what the person had said. I became a moderator for a short while before they changed the forum style to the current one that you see today. I had lost interet and left without even posting a goodbye thread.
I have been around the forum scene for 4-5 years now, so I know my way around the forums. I mabe be a newbie at this particular message board, but I am certainly not a newbie to message boards.
