    I think each new n00b should be given a personal advisor. It is this advisor's job to raise the poor helpless n00b into a productive member of the board. Over the course of the process, the advisor (who shall be henceforth known as the "Hellmaster") will brand his or her n00b in whatever way he or she deems fit.

    I'm still on my quest to rid the universe of Final Fantasy 10 and 10.2, but thats another story.

    But why brand them on the arm? Wouldn't the forehead be much more effective?

    For all you newbies: Don't think it's uncool to have an avatar like me. You shouldn't be insulted. Dammit, this avatar was made by Cid himself. You should be honoured. It's not branding, it's putting you on a pedestal!

    Really.

    EDIT: On a sidenote, from now on, I'm going to allocate random members with over 100 posts to newbie threads.

    Just hope you end up with a good one.

    I have 343 members with over 100 posts, and they're on a list, and they will be allocated. I don't really know what they're supposed to do after that, but that doesn't really matter anyway. What matters is that IT COULD BE YOU NEXT TIME. *scrambles his list and gets ready for the next newbie thread*

    EDIT: And yeah you do, and so do a few other interesting members. I wonder who Award Guy will end up with. Or Election Booth. Or The PC Fascist. Yay! This gives me something to do.
