Hello and welcome to TFP!

N00b acknowledgement is just as good. Hi. Welcome.

Martian · 12-15-2007, 05:04 PM

You think we acknowledge our fresh meat here? You won't see or hear us... until it's too late.

Then why does a n00b forum even exist?

ubertuber · 12-15-2007, 05:21 PM

It makes finding the prey easier.

Just kidding.

Welcome. Sometimes it takes a little time for people to stagger through the introduction threads. Let us know if you've got any questions about TFP. Otherwise, read and post away!

P.S. It's not really a n00b forum in a derogatory way. We love new faces and ideas.

An hour? Wow.

Patience is a virtue.

Charlatan · 12-15-2007, 07:31 PM

Actually we ALL noticed but as a group, we chose to ignore you. We just wanted to drive you crazy...

Welcome.

*drum crash*

Ya know, since I've been here... I've never posted in the "Introductions" thread. Don't think I've actually been into that portion of the board.

GSRIDER · 12-15-2007, 08:01 PM

i know the feeling... welcome to the TFP... watch it's ups and downs. It's a glorious thing.

thebeat · 12-15-2007, 08:09 PM

TFP is like crack..be careful. Its addicting.

Plan9 · 12-15-2007, 08:19 PM

Truth, bro... I have roughly 12 posts a day and I never say anything useful.

I think what you're looking for is 4chan.org. TFP is quality over quantity, not quantity over everything else. You're welcome to stick around, but expect a couple posts a day on the topics that interest you, not a couple posts an hour. There are usually only one or two topics at any given time that get more than a page a day.

Also I question whether or not you're 18+.

jen71au · 12-15-2007, 11:01 PM

hi and bye...sorry I blinked

I'm 37. I don't see any logical reason to lie about my age. My emotional age can be much lower though.

Anyway, I might come by every now and then, but I'll mostly be down in The Cellar (Drax).

Cynthetiq · 12-16-2007, 12:45 AM

welcome.

sorry to edit out your link, but I'm not a fan of a n00b spamming our place to say he's going to be elsewhere, it's a little rude to the hosts.

How is posting a link to another board spamming?

Strange Famous · 12-16-2007, 02:58 AM

wait.... what?

DaveOrion · 12-16-2007, 03:17 AM

Thanks datalyss, I needed a laugh.......especially after a night of insomnia. You're really 37???

Sorry, let me be more specific.

Advertising that you'll be in a different forum, and maybe you'll grace us with your presence here from time to time but inferring that you're inviting us to that location, along with your screenname there as well since you don't use this same name there. (too early to be a good grammar person.)

Sometimes our space is invaded by one post wonders that post a link to another forum or site just to boost their ranks. We delete them as spammers.

Now I don't know if your "unemployed and loving it" self has ever been a proprietor of a business, held any event with guests, owned or moderated a forum, but it's not good joss to be in someone else's space and invite them to another that is just like it. Common courtesy and sense comes into play.

If you'd like to discuss this further, PM me or any other staff member.

But again, welcome to the TFP.

ubertuber · 12-16-2007, 08:29 AM

Exactly how is this thread appropriate and representative of TFP? I'm talking about the replies here. Is this the way we want to portray ourselves in our forum for new people???

Based on available evidence, I'm going to say yes.

Should we be all warm and fuzzy when a potential new user acts like an utter tool? Hypotehtically speaking, of course.

Exactly.

Behave like a decent grown-up and you'll be welcomed with open arms (I was).

Behave like a twat and youll either have the rough edges smoothed off VERY fast, or you'll piss off.

This newbie was egotistical, selfish, and rude.

In the space of a handfull of posts over a handfull of hours, he allienated people.

If he comes back and makes good account of himself, this will be forgotten and he will be "one of the gang".

If not, he'll be gone, and never know how good a group he missed out on by not hanging about.

It's like someone skateboards into the library and shouts at the top of their voice "hey library dudes, look at me I can ollie", and then wonders why everyone says "great kid - skatepark's out the back"

You really managed to sum up the ethos of the TFP as I see it in two succinct sentences, Daniel. Well done.
