yea, thats close, i feel that their is a transitional stage and more stages as well.

 

 

 

infact some progress thru this list and fall back onto lvl 1 or 2.

 

 

 

my personal favorite to watch is people transitioning from stage 2 to 3, they complain alot and the cold reality slaps them in the face. its so good to see people not acting dumb and immature, or on forums making topics that have no relevance.

 

 

 

i love knowing i educated someone who thinks that they are smarter on the subject at hand when they are just simply angry they were told the truth. its like, i have just taken a step into making you a better person

Stage 1, I agree with.

 

 

 

Stage 2, well, I did once use slang, but then I learned to type out my words, because all the "urs" and "u"'s and stuff got annoying. I don't think I tried to annoy other people. Maybe. It's fun sometimes. :P

 

 

 

I think I skipped Stage 3. I was always the most mature of my peers. I never really insult anyone, unless they're really bugging me. Then I call them a moron or imbecile or something.

 

 

 

Stage 4, I hit around... well, at least 8 months ago. Level 50-60ish. Man, I'm a slow player. 17 months and not a whole lot to show for it (except for the friends I've made :) ).
