 "I've been told I was a Fruit from the time I joined AFD, so fruitiness doesn't always come just with age. But nearly all of the dragons who have been around for a year are Fruits -- those who can't outgrow their Nuttiness generally leave. (Trust me, there are a lot of nutty fruits around, though.)" "I've been told I was a Fruit from the time I joined AFD, so fruitiness doesn't always come just with age.

-As Wyrm puts it: "No-one really knows why the regulars of alt.fan.dragons are called 'fruits'. It's one of those things that's just evolved over time. Many claim that one is called a Fruit after one's first year, but this is not really true. Fruitiness is also a lot to do with ones attitude, amount of involvement, and interaction with other contributors to the group."+As Wyrm's site puts it: "No-one really knows why the regulars of alt.fan.dragons are called 'fruits'.

 If you happen to know what sort of fruit or nut you are, you can specify it after the rating in "double quotes". Apparently Baxil (the original maintainer of the code) was a **Fr+++"kiwi"**. If you happen to know what sort of fruit or nut you are, you can specify it after the rating in "double quotes".

 When the original Dragon Code was being created, two standards for measuring fruitiness were proposed: one was based on time spent participating, and the other was based on "fruitlike attitude and tendencies". As Baxil said, "Both of them provide useful yardsticks, but I don't think one has any inherent advantages over the other, so I've kept both. My personal recommendation is that you choose the standard that works best for you, and then just give yourself +/-'s based on that standard. You are under no obligation to reveal which standard you are judging yourself on." When the original Dragon Code was being created, two standards for measuring fruitiness were proposed: one was based on time spent participating, and the other was based on "fruitlike attitude and tendencies".
