Your first thread/post

[DovaChiief]

Simple; as a new user I was curious to see what everyone else did when they first joined. If you can, recount your first tentative comments or threads here on the Escapist for us.

Well, mine wasn't that long ago so it's fairly easy to recall.
My first post was in a pony thread.
Someone--Daystar maybe? Yeah it was Daystar, had posted the opinion that
pony threads tended to devolve in to flame wars, and suggested questions
like the OP's should be confined to the pony chat group.
My response was to the effect that it was through a couple of regular forum
threads that I had discovered MLP:FIM,...which I love...and so I liked it
when people made regular pony threads.
Daystar was quite the gentleman, and replied that people could make posts
of whatever they wanted as far as he was concerned, he just wanted everyone
to be aware of the risks of such a thread.

as a new user

Welcome to the Escapist
Hope you enjoy your stay here

As for me
My first comment after lurking for some time was about someone asking for help to quit WoW
Can't remember my first thread I made thou, I think it was about 1.5 years after my first post so it took some time

[Zhukov]

My first post consisted of brief praise for the atmosphere in Bioshock.

 

[Rawne1980]

First post was in a thread where someone aksed what we would do if we met a girl that was with someone better.

Obviously, with my ego, no-one is better so that's what I said there.

Haven't started a thread of my own.

Depressive music is usually the most creative, interesting and beautiful. I also think that it works better than happy music as a way of lifting your mood for a lot of people.

I went through a phase like that, and I pulled my curtains closed, put Linkin Park in my CD player, and just stared at the ceiling.

Is Linkin Park depressing? When I think depressing, I usually think of stuff like this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMJNCjxfsPo

I swear most of my posts are to do with music anyway

I haven't made a thread yet. Gaze on my purity.

First post I remember was well thought out and quite a long one. I can't remember the topic though.

My first post...seems like just yesterday. Back when I was a bright-eyed, bushy tailed youngster. I hadn't yet seen The Escapist basement...the horror.....so much blood.....

I'm not 100% on this, but I thought that when a game is released with DLC, the ESRB states that the DLC's rating needs to either match or be below the initial games rating (so M, T, or E for GTA).

I'd like to believe that I have continued this trend of being a very helpful user (someone was questioning why a "Hot Coffee" like DLC could be downloaded. My very next post was in the same place but with some actual research done with quotes and everything!).

I don't recall what my first thread creation was though. I was always very careful about repeat threads since "USE THE SEARCH BAR!!!" was something everyone had copy/pasted and ready to scream out the moment you did anything even remotely related to a thread that once existed at some point in time so I'm guessing it was the thread I did about Stadium Funding.

 

[Coffeejack]

I asked people for their quotes and words of wisdom. I don't know how the thread is doing right now...I think I lost it, if that's even possible. I think I may have wasted everyone's time again. Shit.

 

[King of Asgaard]

First off, welcome to the Escapist.
Enjoy your stay.
Just be sure to stay out of the basement.
Cookies are served at 01:00 am.

OT: I can't for the life of me remember my first post, but my first proper thread was an announcement that Jersey Shore had been cancelled. There was much rejoicing that day.

 

[FFP2]

First post: Defending FF13
First thread: I have no idea how to make one so no

 

[MiskWisk]

Let's see, according to my post history, my first post was in a thread about cheating AI.
My first thread was in the r&p forums. Fortunately, I quickly escaped.

 

[Euphbug]

My first post was on a thread about in game fears.

Spoiler

Underwater areas were you see something big off in the distance, but your too far away from it for it to attack you. You just know you have to head in that direction and as soon as you get too close it will be on you fast. I am fine in water levels when things just come after you but preparing to go after something just sitting there unnerves me.

The worst part, this all started for my in Mario 64, that stupid eel with his head poking out of the ship, I just knew I had to go in their somehow but I swore if I got close he would eat me and swallow me whole (after the classic mario games and those giant cheep cheep fish that ate you to instant death, I didn't wanna chance it).

As for thread, I am sure I will make my first one thi.....no, maybe next year.
