This is the Jamie Star Scenario's second ever thread!

What do you think makes a good newbie or a good newbie thread? What are the best types of newbies, hyperactive, offensive, normal?

I'm bored so someone post.

Noticable without being annoying is a good start.

Not sure if I passed that one or not. ;)

EDIT: What Psychotic said is also good. :p

1. The ability to spell.
2. A brain.

If they have a genuinely friendly personality but don't try too hard to fit in, that's ideal. It's annoying when newbies just create a thread full of stupid smileys and then become "friends" with other people in 5 minutes, like so:

Yuna_4554: OMG Tidus246 ur avie is amazn lets be freinds!
Tidus 246: okay lol ill put in my sig we r freinds lets go spam newbie threads togethr.
Yuna_4554: Yay im aceppted!

Just be yourself and odds are you'll fit right in. Unless yourself is like what I just posted. Then you should be quiet. :p

You'll always have a special place in my heart.
Up until the moment I kill you in your sleep, anyway.

Well, then, I must be a pretty good newbie by those definitions.

Well said.

:D There is no such thing as a good newbie though. If you don't define yourself as a newbie but you are "NEW" then that's the best kind. Who on God's earth would describe themself as a "newbie"? *shivers*

What? No fame has went to my head!

Anyway, Yeah, a newbie who joins in and takes part, is a good newbie. Acting like they're not newbies, like Del Murder said. :love:

I good newbie shouldn't come here thinking he knows everything...I hate those who join one day and in the other try to be the smartest member in the galaxy. It's OK if newbies try to show their knowledge to the other members, but they just shouldn't act like total jerks.

What makes a good newbie? The same qualities that make up any other good member, I'd say. I try not to think of members as newbies/oldbies anymore.

What makes a good newbie:

1 kilo pork - cubed
1 bundle kangkong, cut into 2 inches length
1 bundle sitaw, cut into 2 inches length
5 cups water
1 sliced onion
4 pieces sliced tomato
10 pieces sampalok (tamarind)
2 pieces radish
salt or patis to taste

Directions:

1. In casserole, boil pork until tender.
2. Add onion, tomato and sampalok.
3. Remove sampalok when tender then mash to extract the juice. Strain the juice then add back to the casserole.
4. Add vegetables and cook until done. Season to taste.
5. Serve with white rice and patis.
