- 1995 March 5, Steven Cherry, “Re: In The News”, in alt.folklore.urban[2] (Usenet):
- If the Hats and near-Hats would take newbies under their wing, teach them the culcha, help them post well, and follow up their posts so those living by the autoselect actually read the new person's posts (and read them with the right frame of mind), then we'd see a lot more hopeful newbies become helpful midbies.
- 1996 April 9, Daniel Damouth, “Re: INL tiebreakers”, in rec.games.netrek[6] (Usenet):
- You will hear people slamming the draft leagues that have happened for various reasons, but for all their problems, there is no denying that they brought a bunch of midbies up to INL awareness, and gave players of every level some exposure to the highest clue in the game as teammates and coaches (if only Red Shirt had showed up to our games...).
- 1996 May 24, Donald, “Re: Flameproof, you'd better stop making anonymous postings..”, in soc.culture.singapore[7] (Usenet):
- There will always be Guardians of the Green Lantern in every newsgroup but I would rather see the true Elders set the tone and pace then for the group to be taken over by midbies and newbies.
- 1996 October 7, Edmund Chia, “Re: was Advocating for moderation (I vote NO)”, in soc.culture.singapore[10] (Usenet):
- There may be some frantic exchanges of e-mail among a relatively small group of oldbies and midbies (at best amounting to 100 individuals but probably less), and that would probably be the end to the reaction on the demise of SCS.
- 2000 October 31, Julianna Avedon, “Re: TAN: Respect on this Newsgroup (long) was Disrespect on this NG”, in rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan[13] (Usenet):
- If your posts are unreadable, and good GAWD, _they are_, very, very few (read this as none) of the posters to this group, newbies, midbies or oldbies, will be bothered to manipulate your text just for the possibility of reading something clever hidden in a 28-line run on sentence.
- 2001 August 6, Scott Schultz, “Re: From 'Ask Brad' 8/2 re: Luclin Loot Rules”, in alt.games.everquest[15] (Usenet):
- Highbies might actually want to take some of their plat and pass it down to the midbies in exchange for items they can't get, instead of the current situation where the money and items almost always flow in the opposite direction.
- 2003 January 24, rjh [username], “Re: func(int& num) ??”, in comp.lang.c[16] (Usenet):
- Having said that, I find this most confusing, and I think it considerably easier (especially for newbies, and indeed for midbies like myself) to remember just the first of those two truths: C does not have pass-by-reference; everything is done using pass-by-value semantics.
- 2005 February 15, E. T. [username], “Re: Beachwood is no more..”, in alt.music.monkees[18] (Usenet):
- The oldbies have practically read and said most of the interesting Monkee-related stories, and have barely no interest to do another "Top Ten Monkee Album/Episode/Song/Quote etc." poll so the responsiblity[sic] of creating an "interesting", non-flaming conversation lies upon the shoulders of newbies and some of the midbies.
- 2008 — Tom Boellstorff, Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human, Princeton University Press (2008), →ISBN, page 125:
- As persons spent more time in Second Life, their newbie status would fade and they would become known as residents, players, participants, or even "midbies." Midbie status was shaped not just by the absolute amount of time since the creation of an account, but by the cumulative amount of time spent inworld.
