I never do anything to newbies :shifty:
I always like to reply to neww people. If they get enough replies and hellos they may like this place and stay. Or well that's what I hope.
the best newbie threads are the ones that stay unmade, imo 8)
Well, I dislike newbies in general. >.> lolwut?
No, seriously though, I've found on other boards that newbie threads are a million times better than when a newbie decides to enter an already existing discussion and declare their newness. I tend to find newbies who just jump into the discussions like they've been there forever a bit pretentious, so even though they're awkward to write and suck by default, newbie threads are kind of a rite of passage internet style.
Newbies are new best friends waiting to happen. :love:
Without newbies, where would any site be? Oldbies don't simply spring into existence full-formed!
Anyway what annoys me most in this matter is newbies who make two or three posts and then leave. Otherwise as long as they just say hi and are cool, I'll tend to welcome them and give them a chance.
I just welcome them then normally never see them around again:p
I never made a newbie thread, wish i had now:(
Totally PG's game. "Wounds may heal... but your mind will be scarred forever!"
Speaking as a n00b (to this site), I only introduce myself if a forum has a place to do so. If they do, I feel it is somewhat expected of a new member to introduce themselves. If, however, the site has no intro section (like RPGFan), then I take that as a cue to just leap right into conversation.
