    Default Radioactive Pies Don't Let Me Sleep

    So it's about that time again when the newbies pile in through the doors of EoFF fourms. Some people develop a "routine" of what they say to each newbie thread. What is yours? Also, Do you even like the vast amounts of newbies we always recieve at this time? Do you like newbies at all, or do you have a secret, or not so secret, laboratory in your basement that consits of evil things to use to destroy them all?

    I always say, "Hello and welcome to EoFF". Maybe I'll add something in there sometimes.

    I don't mind all the newbies. As long as they stay and actually post it's fine. I don't like it when they post a few things or never post anything at all. What the hell is the point of taking the time to join if you're never going to do anything?

    I have nothing against newbies. They have as much right to be here as I do (unless they've broken enough rules to have them banned while they are still a newbie). I'm not going to be bitter towards somebody just because they found this site later than I did.

    I don't have a regular welcome for newbies. I use any welcome line I can think of at the time and try not to be stupid about it. If too many people have posted a message similar to what I am thinking of posting I'll just walk away. Sometimes a newbie will write something interesting in his/her newbie thread which I could also post about.

    I usually say the same thing.

    Hello. Welcome to EoFF.

    Unless, of course, I feel that they require me to give them a link to the FAQ or something.

    I feel really bad, I rarely post in newbie threads. I'm not saying I never have, but hardly ever.
    Then again I dont purport to be a good member of the boards so...

    I never made a newbie thread, I just appeared.

    edit - Also- this is the most interesting topic name I've seen in awhile.

    I usually create variations on my usual new member welcome, or add a different comment. Eventually it gets hard to have something new to say for each newbie, but I try.
