Mladen Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I just realized that today is the 8th anniversary of me being here... And, yes, I am part of the Great Fl00d of 2011/2012 To amazing people that made my life far more fun and the mods who didn't ban me in 2015 Between Trump, COVID-19 and Queen in the North, I would say we had crazy 8 years.

Fragile Bird Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I created my account at the start of 2011, because that's when I discovered the forum. I think we are always doomed to be N00bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm just about the same "age" as you then, recently noticed it's been 8 years myself. Like most others, I lurked for at least a year before actually getting off my ass and creating a profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The forum spoiled the Red Wedding for me when I first ventured here to ask if R+L=J. ETA: 2013ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read the first three books somewhere between 2008 and 2010. Watched the 1st season in 2011, binged it in one day. And I remember venturing the forums in 2012. That is when I wanted to join.

As for what the forum spoiled for me... 1. fAegon - it was off, but I never formed it in my head until I came here. 2. the importance of Pink letter and who wrote it - honest to God, until this day I have no formed opinion on that one 3. Daenerys... After joining the forum, I started watching and reading about Dany completely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Your all ancient! At 5 and one half years (11/2/14) I'm the real noob. My son actually put GOT on my radar, he also bought the paperback bookset which I impressed him immensely by reading all the through. Unlike the Witcher books he bought me that have become great collectors of dust, though I also watched the Witcher episodes on Netflix. Question, couldn't I get my 2 warning points dropped, it's been 5 years? Must be there like herpes and just yours forever more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yeah, once a fl00b, always a fl00b Yeah, I came late to the series, like in 2004 I think (I was able to read AGOT, ACOK, AND ASOS all back to back), and looked for a website to tell everyone these theories that were burning a hole in my brain, found this site, and then realized everyone else had already thought of them, and found a lot more I never thought of. This was before AFFC came out, because I remember reading excerpts on this site I think, but I didn't create an account until 2007 (under a different avatar name) posted a few times, lost my avatar when something got reset, and then created this one in 2011. So technically I'm not a fl00b, but I might as well be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Smith was available, I don't think she had the acidic wit necessary for Olenna's character. Of all the problems with the show, can't complain about Rigg's casting. I'm not sure this forum ever "spoiled" anything for me, more like me looking for spoilers. I do know before I viewed this I had no idea about Manderly's pie - and like you I didn't think the Pink letter needed so much scrutiny. But, then again, I still don't. I think the largest impetus for me in the early years of my "forumhood" was arguing against the A+J=T theory. Never liked that one, still don't.

Fury Resurrected Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 In order to not be a n00b, you must arrive before a time marking board event. Before the fl00b were the n00bs, n00bs were people who were not present during the EZboard years. Maybe once another book comes out (never), or when Ran redoes the website, or if one of the spinoff series actually hits tv, there will be a new generation of n00bs. For now, you remain a n00b.

Raja Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I legit spent like 1 day in the show/ book threads and realized that those threads were not for me. I migrated to Gen chat, lit & entertainment pretty quickly. I still have zero idea what goes on in forum games. Edit - And I don't think I got on this website until I finished the books, I'm glad I avoided that and the spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
