3 yrs for me i think, counting my original name, but i was such a noob back then fuck i hate the word noob ewwwww
don't worry i'll fix my time machine soon enough, all i need is to find the spare quantum execrator in my basement, and then i'll go back and be the first ever to be on this site, maybe even before skip mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
I haven't noticed much newbie bashing in RT...some of the other forums, for sure, though... Besides, like others have said, it's just a way to weed out the bad ones anyway...
