The nub in everyone

closed account (S6k9GNh0)
Over time, I've lost what some people consider makes someone "nub". It comes with experience. However, I enjoy looking at my first posts. My post in this forum isn't exactly dumb since I had been studying Java as a beginner language.

This isn't actually my first topic. I'm a bit embarrassed, but here's _my_ first post: http://rosebum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5442

Beat THAT nubness.
Ah... it's wonderful to look back and see how far one has come.

This was obviously when I didn't understand that giving full answers to a question is a bad idea. It doesn't come close to yours, but it's still stupid, considering how much of a thread policebird I act like now.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
I don't think my first post was the worst, but it does make you go wow, I use to be that bad :P

I cannot find my first post.
The question I asked has still not been answered.

[edit] BTW, "nub" in English is pronounced with an open ("short") U, and is a word referencing a knob or small protuberance. "noob" is pronounced with the "long" U.

I think I was already passed my newb/noob phase when I found these forums =x

This is my first post on these boards according to my user profile: http://cplusplus.com/forum/general/7131/

Although that was only a year and a half ago? I thought I was here longer than that.
This is the first ever forum I ever join and also my first post

I have posted on another forum but I forget where it was, what my username and password were, etc.
Here's my first post on this forum that I can find: http://cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/10502/
Silly me, "sounds alot more elementary than it is" (no it doesn't, stupid, it's simple) :D

Oh gawd... such humble beginnings...

Edit 2: almost 3000 posts later, not much has changed:

Ah, yes. I remember my last post as a noob. It was on CodeGuru several years ago, about why my file I/O operations were failing past a certain point (spoiler: I was opening as text. Curse you, K&R. What were you thinking?). I was even failing to read links posted by the people replying. If I saw that self today on the tubes, I'd slap him. What an idiot.
Haha, well we all have our days. I'm still studying so I know I have some noob in me. Worst part is when someone answers your question though and you just facepalm yourself... Why didn't I think of that!!!
True, but people often forget: nothing is obvious until it is understood.
That's very true. I like that :)
