The things that every newbie should know.

[Jason Tandro]

(This list will be updated as more ideas become relevant).


1. Spam in Spam Central only, please! -Jason Tandro
2. Nobody likes a smart-ass. We love them. -Jason Tandro
3. Topics get derailed easily. Go with the flow. -Jason Tandro
4. Don't revive dead topics! Let the dead rest! -Jason Tandro
5. See rule 4. -psychokind
6. Stay away from shiny buttons. -EverPhoenix
7. Watch out for flying bricks; it could happen anytime. -chicken
8. Girls bite. -chicken.
9. Beware the Mallet of Doom. -Rainichan
10. There is no such thing as a superfluous thread or reply. Everything we do is irrevocably relevant. -tay120n64
11. Never say you're the "darkness", we still have one. -Metall Ark
12. Remember. Raini is the kween, eFlare is the king and Boxxleman is like God. He rarely shows up and when he does, you damn sight better pay attention. -Jason Tandro
13. We don't deal well with people who suck, are troublesome, loathers, flamers and serious spammers (IE-overly spamming everywhere) and ego-manics need not apply. However, good people who wish to get to know other good people, and (occasionally, if not always) have a hearty laugh, should come and join. You're more than welcome. -SoulBlazerFan
14. Your introduction thread will be hijacked and derailed with off-topic conversation. No exceptions. It will either be random, dirty, or randomly dirty. -Freedan, The Dark Knight
15. Also, we don't have to make sense if we don't want to. Logic is overrated. -thefencemaster
16. You can only be truly accepted into the ranks of the TE Elite, if you are able to deal with the constant barrage and assault of the insane veterans. -Deathpit

Okay, now everybody add your two cents. Let's make a great list for newbies!

[edit: I was gonna put this in general discussion, but I feel it's appropriate for introductions, since this is (ideally) the first place our newbies will post.]

Ah, but not all fresh meat posts here first. I didn't post here first when I joined up back in 2003, or whenever it was that I joined.

I think you need to have a meeting with my mallet of doom. I'm the only girl on the internet, dontcha know.

Isn't this superfluous? Don't we do this anyway when someone introduces themselves?

Message for all newbies!

There is no such thing as a superfluous thread or reply. Everything we do is irrevocably relevant.

[thefencemaster]

Anyone and Everyone will try and steal the cookie from you

[tay120n64]

He and Val got into it, and he left shortly after.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning catch him on MSN...

too bad, I mean he posted a lot, even if he was difficult. I had my debate-problems with val too, and we're both still here

[Manibrandr System]

The problem is that he wants to get his way 100%, but we, on the other hand just really like to put out our POV and share them.
