I think we're all getting our terms mixed up.
What is an "oldie" and what is a "Veteran"?

If we say that an Oldie is someone who's been around for a long time, was here through all sorts of ZU drama and events and is respected and remembered/known by quite a good number of people and have made an impact somehow on the forums and/or members before..

And if we say that a Veteran is a respected and cool savvy forum member, who is almost instantly known everywhere through virtue of their fame and have made some sort of impact on the forums- then both differ =)

If you're an oldie, you're both that and a vet, but the reverse is not true :p

In that case, I'd say that cool phenomenons such as Panique ARE vets, but not oldies. No, not an oldie.
musical- you're still working your way and carving a personality in our minds. But not yet. You're getting there, though ^___^

It all depends on how much we see you around, and the quality of your posts.
Like Vega, some people who HAVE registered a long time ago but I only just start to see them around - are newbies to me. It's not all to do with the join date.

Also, being a member of the chatroom greatly increases and speeds up the veteraning process xD

Anime_queen, you know me fairly well seeing as you adopted me, would you say i am a newb or a reqular member?

I like ganonbob was quite immature when i joined, but i hope people have realized that i have matured while i have been here, and i hope people can appreciate that.
