D'ohmer Simpson 0 Posted May 12, 2006 I heard reference to a newbie being a blueback and of course the pre Y2K poster being considered silverbacks, but I was wondering what the cut-off date is, and what are the people considered in between? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kraziness 0 Posted May 12, 2006 wet? Seriously though, I was just thinking about this the other day. I came in during a pretty huge boom in '01, around the time a lot of infamous posters (Rusty, for instance) but I don't think we'd be considered silver backs. To me? a pre-2000 begin date, or a sub-1,000 member number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 366 Posted May 12, 2006 I believe it has to do with Member #. Less than 10,000 for sure. I am not sure how low the number goes to the cut off point. Not sure why these posters were named for monkeys. Nothing related to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kraziness 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Become a silverback you cannotYou either are or are not Nice! I don't know if I agree though. I mean, if we're still here in 10 years, member numbers are in the millions... well, first of all that'd be really sad. But never-the-less, my sub-10,000 member number would be pretty silver-backish. Wetback would be someone from another site who came here and started posting? Like Huddle guys or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From all I know (admitedly not too much) silverbacks are those of us who originally came over from the first board and signed up when this board started in late '99, there is no "becomming a silverback." You either were here at the beginning and are one or you "found" us later and are not. There may another monikor for the great '01 population boom (like the boombacks) but more than likely the great booms are more truthfully called aliaibacks.
