When do you become a Silverback?

Recommended Posts

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? :mad:

Without intimate knowledge of the Idaho pilgrimage... you will NEVER be one. Sorry.

Not saying I want to be one. I doubt I'll still be posting here in 6 years, and I certainly don't want a spud up my ass. :mad: Just asking is all.

Nope. Those are the effects of the roofies they slipped into your Zima.

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.

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.

Possibly. What would wetbacks be considered?

I agree with the pre-2000.

Become a silverback you cannot

You 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?

Neither can you :thumbsdown: But read above. I'm not wanting to become one, just wondering "who" they are, like the StoneCutters or something :lol:

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.

BTW, this was one of the funnier threads of all time as well, those things took on lives that were just crazy back in the day.

I am most definitely a silverback but I was kidnapped when I was young by a pack of dogs and raised on another message board. Once I was grown, I came back over.

 

No worries, mate. 'cept for this nagging urge to chase the UPS truck. And pee on bushes.
