The internet..
 
Have you noticed on rap forums atleast, (not just RV, but most forums) that newbs are getting more and more stupid? I remember a few years back there was a lot of newbs out there that were just normal people with good opinions.. Nowadays I get the feeling that the majority of people who are just starting net battling are just mindless idiots that follow around on the cocks of people who have:

1. Been around longer.
2. Have more posts.
3. This is one of the only sites that has battle records.. But yeah those too effect the d/r a lot around here..

..Thing is, the people who have been around longer with more posts these days.. Dont know how to deal with newbs.. I used to joke around about 'whoring newbs' for fun.. But some people actually do that and take it too far..

I seriously do wonder though, why are internet sites attracting this many morons these days.. Is it because younger people are starting to have more access to the internet or is it that the internet is just attracting a bunch of losers these days.. I mean theres losers everywhere on the net, anywhere you go.. Theres idiots that put virus's anonomously on files making it near impossable to download something from the net without getting bombarded with spyware.. And theres idiots that make webpages dedicated to putting add ware on peoples computers through using hundreds and hundreds of pop ups on every page.. Not to mention these new types of idiots that have big net reputations and live their entire social life online in chat rooms and forums.. Which is IMO a new steriotype that well start to see forming in the next decade or so..

But back on track; I think that the net in general is going up shit creek.. People had a vision that one day every person will have internet access in their homes..

.........But in the long run; is that a good thing or not?

well i have never whored a newb...but wheni was a newb i didnt act stupid..i just battled everyone.....and tried to get my record up..i would not talk shit or nothing..then once i became known on RB relaunched i was considered a vet...

i remeber when if you had 10 wins then you were considered a vet...shit was funny

I am not a newby, I'm from RB. But I am new to this site :/

maybe they not getting dumber, but your just getting wiser.lol.

for some reason i dont have a problem with newb's. I can actually stand them, simply because I remember when I first found a internet rap site, i had no clue what it was all about, so yes at time i did post stupid comments in the wrong place and so-on.
But i have to admit, i wasnt as bad as some of the cats we get here. either ignorant or just plain blind.

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 05:18 AM

The newby's we get on RB think they hot, when they simply ain't.
They get shut-down alot though, by the senior member's.

Whys That? 01-29-05 05:39 AM

yeh but on rb, not many are willing to help other's. Its kinda every man for them self.

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 05:41 AM

Yuppy, but most of those kid's have absolutley no talent what so ever. Why waste time helping the wack?

?uest Logic 01-29-05 05:43 AM

becuase you are a newb, but if dont want help then i guess that is oyur choice

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 05:46 AM

Im new on rb, some say i have talent some hate. But im there to learn and elevate.
is it even worth my time trying to get any knowledge from your "vets" over there?
or will they simply just hate?

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 05:50 AM

Some are real dickhead's, some aren't..It's hard to get respect there, cuz there's so many cat's that are good.

Whys That? 01-29-05 05:52 AM

yeh, but i aint expecting respect straight away. but what I wanna know is do they ever actually try help you? or are they afraid of the next man coming up?

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 05:54 AM

Some are just too into being one of the top head's on suxh a large scene. Some, will help you, but most of us are arrogant.

Ysdat 01-29-05 05:59 AM

arrogant? yeh I relised that allready, Im still gonna learn of whoevers willing to drop a few tips here and there.

Psymon Sand 01-29-05 06:01 AM

Don't be making a reputation straight off, keep elevating & then start talking, if ya get me..but don't start dissing cat's.
