New to the site..be gentle

[Steppin Razor]

Welcome to the site and such I suppose. Try to keep things civil and you should get on fine. Take a quick look at the various stickied threads in the Off Topic forum (that I'm far too lazy to bother linking to) for a basic overview of some of the stuff on the site. I think somebody already linked the thread that'll teach you how to do things like italics, bold, underline and strike-through, so you should check that out when you get a chance.

Welcome! Welcome to Escapistmagazine.com! You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining Internet Utopias. I thought so much of Escapistmagazine.com, that I elected to establish my administration, here, in the Forums, so thoughtfully provided by our Moderators. I am proud to call Escapistmagazine.com my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through to parts unknown, welcome, to Escapistmagazine.com. It's safer here.

Better than basement jokes, eh?

If by better you mean, "The urge to see what an axe sticking out the top of your head looks like is marginally less than if you had made a basement joke," then yes, it is better.

I'm new to the site, thought I'd just post this as my way of saying hi and I hope to get to know some of you soon.

When I saw the thread description saying please be gentle I started thinking about a possible reply that could involve light whipping, silk ropes and plenty of lube...but I'm not that cruel. No seriously I'm not.Honestly!

Welcome to the Escapist mate!

Don't worry about that. It harks back to the Ancient times. We don't talk about those days anymore...

'Ello there. Here's some advice: Doomsday Arcade (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade) is really good. Other than that, all I can really say is that you should have a net-positive effect on the Escapist, and don't feed the trolls or be obnoxious.

Welcome! You'll do fine here so long as you respect the mods and fellow posters.

And for the record, Persi...spoiled milk.

Ahh, questioning people if they [sub][sub][sub]would rather drink spoiled milk or [sub]diahreeha[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

Welcome to the escapist, and don't go into the attic, that's pretty much storage space...

At least it's not a basement joke.

Up until... well, now, apparently, it's been custom to tell new users to "stay out of the basement."

There's actually a user group for it now, though I can't find it...

Hello, how are you, nice to meet you, enjoy the site!

I don't feel that I've been here long enough to make the basement joke, but I know enough to know that it's a dangerous place that you never visit.

Seriously. People go there and they don't come back.
