…to have a 500 post party anymore? Am I still considered a newbie? Should I wait unitl 1000 to celebrate?
Aw, shucks! Lets par-teeeee!
Sorry to burst you bubble Tubagirl, but you are only at 498 posts.
Once you reach 500 you are considered a pledge instead of a newbie. As a pledge we still disregard anything you have to say and we treat you like pond scum but we let you hang out with us an pretend to be a part of the group.
Of course, if you have what it takes to make it to 1000 posts, then you receive your status as a regular with all the rights and privileges that such status entails.

Damn, I was lied to. It’s was supposed to be 200 for pledge status! #*CK IT ALL! Now it’s going to be another four and half months before I can be ignored and treated like pond scum.
Sorry Sn-Man, it used to be 200 posts but we had so many that were reaching 200 so fast that we did not have enough time nor resources to treat them all like pond scum as they deserved, so we had to bump it up to 500.
I guess you either got some old literature or just an uninformed member.

I wanted to be sure before I hit 500 that it wasn’t passe to have a post party. Is it validated anymore? I only have one post left…
Question of ettiquette:
Do you throw your own party (like a hosue warming) or do your friends (if any) throw it for you (like a shower)
You throw your own housewarming. It’s the first official time that you act as host/hostesss in your new home.
This is my 500th post. I’m soooooo proud! It only took me a few months. It seems like I have been here forever. This is the best Message board I’ve ever run about on/ Thank you guys for being my support, advisors and entertainment during work for the past few months.

Let the hazing begin!!!
Tuba, I’d like to ask you to strip naked, so we can wrap you in 2 mattresses tied with belts and throw you off a bridge.
Then you’re no longer a newbie.
Either that or flirt with Uke Ike.
