Was thinking once again Can't Post

If I have understood correctly, 'oldbie' is usually used for First Agers. What newbies are, we all know.
Yet, is there sucha name for those TORnsibbs who fit in neither category? Do they "deserve" a -bie name? If yes, what to call this group? Is 'longbie' an option?

Middlebie this [In reply to] Can't Post

Middlebie... Or TorNado... As we're all that... No more oldbie, no more newbie...

Although how would we know who's in charge then?

"Oldtimer" is a First Ager. Everyone else is an "oldbie" as soon as they lay off being a "newbie," which doesn't take very long.

She had it all worked out who was a First Ager, Second Ager, etc.

I'm more in favour of an egalitarian approach ... [In reply to] Can't Post

We are all 'oldbies' unless of course you are a very new 'newbie.' However, if there is an 'R' in the month, with the full moon in Cancer for the Vernal Equinox, then everyone is a 'Tornado'. (Not to be confused with any Tornado currently active in your area.)

But, if you live north of the 49th Parallel or are a vistitor from the Bermuda Triangle or the Twilight Zone, you will forfeit all such names, titles, or honarary Nom des Plumes that may (or maynot) have been conferred upon you.

Moreover, on the second and third Saturday of of every month *with* a 'Y' or 'R' in it, we will all revert back to Tornsibs, unless of course, you are living in a cave in the Himalayas without internet acess. In which case (and only in this case) you will be designated 'HOMEie' (Himalaya Offline Member Extrodinaire).

And finally, everyone knows who is charge Wink

Fairly simple [In reply to] Can't Post

Between board inception and FotR Premiere: First Age
From FotR to TTT Premiere: Second Age
From TTT to RotK Premiere: Third Age
After RotK Premiere: Fourth Age
I would assume that, once/if The Hobbit starts filming, that will be the inception of the Fifth Age, with the Sixth coming at the Premiere. Although I suppose a valid argument could be made for starting the Fifth Age now, with the inception of the New Boards.

My take on it: [In reply to] Can't Post

1st Age: Pre-production to production
2nd Age: Production to Premiere of FOTR
3rd Age: Premiere of FOTR to release ROTK EE DVD
4th Age: after that - {official 4th Age at TORn - new boards}

I think that is a more accurate assesment, IMHO.
