Has there been anyone here who just jumped right into the forums without posting a newbie thread? If thats what you did, why not (re-?)introduce yourself here?

Mind, this was outta pure randomness and boredom! :D *Gives everyone M&Ms*

I didn't make a Newbie Thread. It's not like I want one, anyway... :p

No, I didn't as I didn't know General Chat was real. Actually I'm still unsure. :greenie:

I did. I hate introducing myself. I'd rather just appear, and then dissapear just as quietly.

I didn't make a newbie thread when I first started... then I made one like... a few months after I came here. I dunno why...

No newbie thread for me.

Nope, I didn't. I jumped into a huge, heated debate about love and stuff.

08-23-2004, 07:47 PM
Nope...I jumped right into a debate in the World Events forum. Aika and Shadow Nexus were there. Good times. :D

Hey, I remember Aika. Didn't she get banned for bad-mouthing the staff, or something?

When i got here, I was confused. This place had a general-forum, artsey stuff, staff & site, and then the ff's.

I was like... " so where do i post my n00b topic now?" as the place was devoid of a newbie forum. =/ and so, well i asked bonnie, and she said to just make one in general. and so i did. and that was that. If i can recall correctly, it was either leeza or spiff that first replied to my thread. But anyways.

Well, hi to you all anyways, whether or not you posted a newbie thread or not (or didn't care to)!

08-23-2004, 08:08 PM
Nope, I didn't make a newbie thread. It took me a month before I started posting in General Chat. I could have made one in the FF7 forum, but I've got a feeling Kishi would have closed it. :(

K-chan
08-23-2004, 08:11 PM
Lol, I think I was one of those newbies that posted a thread in the ff7 or ff9 forums. :eep: Oops!

kikimm
08-23-2004, 08:18 PM
i didn't bother. To much of a hassle. Besides, there's already too many newbie threads as it is. I didn't really want to bother anyone, and get the "hi, welcome to the boards" or a "complimentary harpoon", or get "skinned alive", so....


:D

Moomba Misstress
08-23-2004, 08:26 PM
I don't think I ever wrote one... or if I did it was later and I said something stupid. I've never posted an "I'm back" thread, cause well frankly, I've been here long enough to know you aren't supposed to. :moomba:

Ouch!
08-23-2004, 08:34 PM
I didn't make a newbie thread. I hid in the Writer's Corner for at least three months. I was absolutely terrified of General Chat. I think the first post in GC I ever had was like a year after I joined. I just lurked in the Writer's Corner and the FFXI section during the good ole times when we had 5 threads all over 300 posts long for the linkshell we started. Good stuff.

SeeDRankLou
08-23-2004, 08:47 PM
I didn't make one. I just started posting stuff in the FFVIII section, and then to other places.

Thunday Man
08-23-2004, 08:48 PM
I didnt, i made a couple WB me threads though :|

Rye
08-23-2004, 10:03 PM
No. I stayed in the FFX forum for about 3 months, until I went into the GC forum.

Levian
08-23-2004, 10:09 PM
I never ventured into General chat until half a year after I registered, so naturally I didn't make one. General chat seemed so boring at that time.

Shoeberto

Hey, I remember Aika. Didn't she get banned for bad-mouthing the staff, or something?
Actually, after Linus's big April Fool's suicide prank, she flipped out and spammed the place about how it wasn't funny and just went totally out of control.

Kirobaito
08-23-2004, 11:10 PM
I never made one. I went into Raist's FF7 General Trivia Thread and posted there, pretty much. Never even entered General Chat until about 6 months ago. I've always been in the Lounge, though. I think.

K-chan

I didn't have a newbie thread. I just started posting. I didn't make a newbie thread because I don't need to feed my ego. I know I kick all sorts of ass. Its almost been 4 years so I don't know where went wow?

Giga Guess
08-24-2004, 12:07 AM
Likewise. I don't think I really announced myself, mainly because I think I was more intent on some answers to a FF7 question.

So yeah, a big Hi! Even if it is, oh...3 years late....

Oooh...a diva!

ShivaBlizzard8
08-24-2004, 01:37 AM
LOL. I never made a newbie thread. I think my first post was winning a quote mini-contest in the FF8 forum, where you had to list the same phrase multiple times, each one worded how a particular character from the game would say it. Then, we had to guess who said what. I remember getting the hard one no one else could - something said in the tone of Julia, I think.
I believe the thing was run by Sorceress Faye. Wow - that's back when Rampala was still Faye, and now not too many people even remember her. . . I'm such an oldbie. :p

Giga Guess
08-24-2004, 01:39 AM
If anything, I think I remember you....

I've been watching the boards for some time now (like a year, year-and-a-half), but never signed up until about a month ago. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Probally because of my horrible writing and typing skills.

Lon611
08-25-2004, 06:03 AM
i never made a newbie thread either. kinda hard wen the first thing u wana do is ask so many things about final fantasy. 2 all the "old newbies", i wud like 2 say hey wassup?nice 2 meetcha :D :D

Del Murder
08-25-2004, 06:05 AM
Thanks Lon611!

08-25-2004, 06:14 AM
I never made one. There was about four months between the time I registered and the time I actually started posting a whole lot, so yeah.

Storm

I'm not going to do the statistics, but it appears to me that most current members never made newbie threads. From this, we can deduce that newbie threads are for people who usually don't stick around, thus we can prohibit allowing noobs from creating these miserable, horrible, painful to read threads.

For the record, I did not create a newbie thread when I joined.

In fact, I'd rather see more of princeofdarknez's threads like "All Aboard the Pimpy Gimp" than these unholy newbie threads. If Jim Ross (Good Old JR) from the WWE were here, he would definitely say "This ain't right!" or "Oh my God! For the love of God, please stop!" in regards to the creation of newbie threads.

DIE NOOB THREADS! JUSZ DIE! ZELLO!

Hey Lon611, is your name a reference to Barry Trotter?

I kinda came in through the Final Fantasy Forums so I never had a newbie thread. It's a bit long ago to be having one now...

Pheesh
08-25-2004, 12:11 PM
I never made one. I think the first thing i did was go on the KH forum and point out how sora was a bit of a wimp because he didn't hit with the sharp part of the keyblade (that was when my username was gunblade fanatic).

Well anyway, hi everyone. I'm Eternal Essence.

fire_of_avalon
08-25-2004, 12:34 PM
I don't even remember what I did when I first got here, but I know I didn't make a newbie thread. I think I just kind of threw myself into the madness of GC and held on to my pants.

I went and lived in the Final Fantasy VII section, with no newbie thread. Actually, i still live in that section.The General Chat it...eh...well,it needs a spam filter i think.^_^;; (put a lock down on alot of sensless posting which I have seen.)

So I'm not the only one.

I learned one thing from joining EoFF. Never, ever, under any circumstances, join a forum at 3AM. I still don't know what the hell my original password was, I had to reset it.

I joined to reply to this thread: *prays link works*

Miriel
08-26-2004, 07:59 AM
I had the usual "hi I'm new" newbie thread. And I distinctly remember being "enforced" by Del. Still not quite sure if being enforced was a good thing or not...and I'd rather not guess.

Shlup
08-26-2004, 11:40 AM
I have comandeered this thread. It is now MY newbie thread, for I never had one before.

Welcome me to the forums, dammit!

Jack
08-26-2004, 01:20 PM
I never had one, I only found "General Chat" after my 1st spell here. (I took a break to go on a Matrix Forum)
So I'm rather unknown cause I haven't been here (GC) that long of a time period.
I lived in the FFIX thread.Occaisionally FFVII,FFVIII & FFX but they were far too perplexing at times.(Jenova did what?)


From this, we can deduce that newbie threads are for people who usually don't stick around, thus we can prohibit allowing noobs from creating these miserable, horrible, painful to read threads.

Without these painful to read threads, I wouldn't have met my best friend online Kiuru so I say they should keep existing.

Actually I do think I remember you....but I don't think you posted a lot. Or I could be wrong....but didn't you have a sig with 4 images in it?

essenceofdarkness
08-27-2004, 01:54 AM
I used to post a lot, especially when Majin_Squall was still here. and yeah, I think my sig had 4 images in it, around that time I had a different sig for every forum I was registered in so it's hard to remember.

Giga Guess
08-27-2004, 02:20 AM
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember you....god, it's been ages...

I mean, this was only a little bit after the Big Wipe, right (As far as a year afterwards...)

essenceofdarkness
08-27-2004, 02:52 AM
yeah I was sent to military school last year and I couldn't do anything, I had no time, even for myself, but now I'm back in public school, Thank god! well it's nice to know someone remembers me ^_^ I thought I might have been a ghost or something lol
