Poll: Where the hell did all these newbies come from?

Got me in seniority there

I should cross Max the reaper off of the list, the whole him finally being perma'ed thing.

Best part about his ban?

The topic name he was banned in was "When will the beast just die" I got the giggles from that =3

He did? Right, so the first two people to reach 10000 posts were him and Indigo Dingo, right? They both get permaed. What does that tell you? Don't spam. Or rather, don't troll like Indigo and don't be a miserable bastard like Max.
I like new people though. So long as they stay out of the way. Don't try too hard and sort of fit in rather than run in guns blazing.

 

[molester jester]

Well more new members is always a good thing; the dedicated ones will stay and become valued members while the ones who'll just troll etc. will be banned & gone pretty quickly. We were all new once - I don't even have 200 posts yet despite having read these forums for a while.

Could be worse mate, i have been on the site for over a year and i still have under 300 posts. Guess im just lazy

That came off a little too hostile at the begining XD

Ahh well, I have to say good riddins to both of Indigo, and Max, they had their ups but they also had alot more downs. Both seemed trollish, both posted atleast 60 times a day.

Speaking of mod wrath go look at what I'm on probation for and look at my original post that he snipped out (first page, one of the first posts, hard to miss kinda long)

I guess if you get put on probation for saying idiot that, uttering "Fuck" more than once pushes the line

Meh. I am kind of newb, I don't post here all of the time. I have one friend who has not logged in for a year, and I never even knew where this person came from. The only reason I came here was for Unforgotten Realms. I love that show, and I miss it.

I see what you are talking about. All I can say is that it can't be bad, we were all new at one point. I haven't been here that long, but look at me now: I've already angered about 1/10th the amount of people Hitler has offended, and I have a fairly good collection of posts. And I am typing five minutes after midnight...I have no life...but at least some of the newer people can get just as absorbed as we are to this forum and make us look a little more normal.

I'll never understand how people are able to post so much...You've been here for 2 months and you already have 1/4th of my posts.

I just post on EVERYTHING. I spend about .5-4 hours a day on this site, every other week. It gives me plenty of time to post.

You'd think exercise was overated or something...

[OmegaCheese]

My main joining motive was Zero Punctuation

 

[Baconator96]

the cancer that is killing /b/ has begun spreading to other, less lurked upon internet havens.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Now is the time to enforce some kind of rule whereby you need hit 100 posts before being allowed to make a thread.

 

[DarkSaber]

I think we are in the middle of a member explosion. A lot of people joining us!

Good thing, or bad thing?

I find this amusing coming from somoene who has only been here since April this year.

 

[Ninjamedic]

Ive been reading escapist forums for a while, but i decided to create an account after the "ask an irishman" tread.
Just to provide the opinion of someone living in WEST of ireland (roscommon to be precise for the irish users).

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Oh hello everyone, what's going on over here?

Well I've been here for 5 more months than you and you have 7-8 times has many posts has I have. I don't even post that little, I post in any thread which interests me, but I usually go from the front page so I only post on the popular threads.

O.T: I don't mind the newbies, most of them contribute to threads more than I do anyway.

 

[Stormz]

I'll never understand why on some sites people hate new people joining. I think it's a good thing. As long as they don't spam and aren't ass holes they're welcome.

 

[curty129]

We were all newbies once, if they act like trolls, then they will be dealt with like trolls.

Until they do something stupid, consider them one of us and embrace them.


But I swear to god, if they make MW2 threads I'm going to kill them. Kill them all.

AYE

Hatin' on haters is mah thang!

...

Well if you have the talents, we ARE going on a witch hunt tonight...

What's your talent related to killing people?

I am able to throw needles into the eyes of trolls and newbs! They shall suffer the wrath of my many many needles! D:<

P.s. You will need to provide me with needles. Many many of them.

 

[Eggsnham]

You could consider me a newbie seeing as I have under 500 posts at the time of me writing this, but I have been pretty active in Escapist lately.

 

[sylekage]

I don't know if I could be considered a newbie, I've been registered for quite awhile, and just got back into the swing of things, but I've been watching videos on here, and reading threads and stuff sooo.....am I?
