      Talking Types of DV Members - Which One Are You?

      In my years here, I've identified certain varying types of classes DV members can be grouped into. These views are my own, of course.. but I find they hold truth. I've also decided to give some of these members original names. Feel free to use these names at your own discretion. The below also shows the life-span of these members from babes to adulthood.





      Lurkers (the fetus) - Guests who've yet to join, but visible (anonymously) in the extended Currently Active Users List. The Lurkers are brought here by their interest in lucid dreaming.

      Newbies (the babies) - Guests who've decided to join. Most of them post in the Newbie Zone and stay on-topic for awhile seeing as it's the subject of lucid dreaming that's brought them to the forums.

      Regulars (teens) - Regulars are newbies who've not only been here for nearly a year, but have also found their way into the glorious off-topic section (heaven forbid senseless banter). These members are slowly slipping away from posting on-topic as much as they used to. They occupy their time here by racking up massive amount of chat hours, immersing themselves in vicious ED debates, SB, or posting hot model pics in The Lounge.

      Members from this class are not usually considered for staff unless they stand out in a way that simply cannot be ignored.


      ---------------------This is where the path splits off----------------------------


      Senior Member (adults) - Regulars who've been here a minimum of 2 years and remain active posters. The Senior members almost post exclusively in the off-topic forums now.

      Members from this class are sometimes picked for staff positions.


      OR

      DV's Village Idiot (the strange) - Regulars who've been here a minimum of 2 years and remain active posters. They've become almost completely apathetic and routinely make posts in an attempt to lightly troll members or piss them off. Their posts could be considered a language all on its own since their posts are best interpreted and understood by their fellow DV Village Idiot's. Most Regulars do not understand the village idiot but the Senior Members do. The Senior Members view them as "burned out members" who've split off into a sub-class best known as the "Anti-member".
      Oldie (senile old bone bags ) - Senior members who've been here 5+ years. These members are marked by their teal usernames. If you spot one of these members and they are still actively posting, salute them and show them your respect.

      The Inactive Member (death) - Members who become inactive after any length of time being spent here.
      --



      Hopefully, DV members.. you will have a lengthy lifespan here.

      I am just the regular...

      Though I do not consider myself "regular" .
      If you see a strange typo in my post, blame my iPad for that.

      There aren't enough options!

      Like, 50% of DV (at least!) is a regular, and 25% noobs!

      I'm someone who has poor social intelligence & would presumably post quite poorly here.

      Also, I usually get banned from forums so I give myself a year at the most.

      I'm in a state of limbo.
      I've been here for over a year and plan on staying forever.
      I understand The Strange even if I don't agree. I rarely venture into SB but occasionally venture into ED. I never Chat.

      Blah

      Having the internet only part time (as well as some personal quarks) stops me from being as active as I'd like

      i guess by the "777-O-meter" i'd be between babies and regular, but in my own opinion i would be simply: The Traveler

      i feel like i've always been here but yet to arrive....

      "MementoMori, the lucid machine"

      "There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      I guess I' a teen then. And here I thought I'd put that behind me when I turned 20.
