| An '''oldbie''' is the opposite of a '''newbie''' (also known as a ''noob'' or ''n00b''). It generally refers to people who remember the Internet of yore—especially before you started using it—but it is also relative to the community or topic being discussed. E.g., an oldbie of a community started in 2007 may be a newbie of a community that started in 1997.

| On Heyuri, oldbie can refer to several things:
| |
| * Users who were present during or before Heyuri's ''Sakomoto'' era (November 11, 2019 to May 24, 2020)
| |
| * Users who were present during or before the Oldfag Declaration Day (June 6, 2020)
| |
| * Users who were present during or before the [[Golden age of Heyuri|golden age of Heyuri]] (roughly May 2020 to August 2020)
| |
| | |
| The newbie–oldbie dichotomy is generally used on Heyuri in a joking or non-serious manner, unlike other imageboards where it is often treated as [[Serious Business]].
| |
| | |
| Some people refer to oldbies as ''oldfags''. This variation—along with ''newfag''—primarily took off during [[4chan]]'s ''Newfag Summer'' of 2007. The usage of ''newfag'' and ''oldfag'' was originally itself a clear sign that the user in question was a newbie, but this delicious irony is lost on most post-2007 imageboard users.
