OFF TOPIC

Let's face it, we see the word "Newbie" so much around here and other communities. How do you perceive, define, and know when someone has transcended the ranks of "Newbie"? Do you directly relate it to monetary figures? Successes or Accomplishments? When does one cease to be a "Newbie"?

When you make $100K/month?

Just kidding. I'd be interested in knowing as well.

  It's when the left most figure in your six figure/month income is no longer a prime number.
  
  This forum is about making money, mostly from marketing online. You cease to be a newbie when you consistently make money. That's it.

As far as the forum is concerned, you are no longer a newbie when you understand the main ethos of the forum and have built enough knowledge to contribute in the areas of your expertise.

As far as at the whole field of marketing - when you understand enough that you are able to function with skill in your own areas. While I am no newbie to this forum or in the writing fields, I am still green as heck when it comes to technology, I could remain a newbie in that area for a long, long time.

I'd have to agree. Once you're self reliant and earning consistent income you're no longer a newbie.

When one stops wondering whether one is still a "Newbie."

  I'd have to agree with that. I think the term "newbie" is more a mindset of the person itself. I stopped being a newbie myself the moment I stopped viewing myself as one. I think that is for everyone a different point in time. It's subjective, but then again, that's my opinion.

Lawrh - just so I know when I have qualified as a non-newbie......is that prime number in dollars or pounds? I'm still quite a long way off either.

When one begins to contribute more than they ask for help and information. Honestly you can be a newbie forever in certain areas for me it would be C+ others its general common knowledge which makes them stand out as so called newbies.

  Assuming you meant C++, I would have to agree with your astute self-analysis.
