I'm new! (ish)

[Scarecrow]

At last...fresh meat.

But really, welcome...to your nightmare!!!!

One of us..one of us...one of us...

I agree to a small extent. Yes there is a bit of attention seeking, but it's mostly sharing your opinion and getting others to think about it to some extent. You're giving an idea or a point of view.

But this is just saying "Look at me".

*shrug*

I know, I know, I'm not picking on you to be honest, but you know you love it when someone actually quotes you and responds with something meaningful. At that point...its a mix of the two feelings we described. haha

 

[Dragoniferous]

Long-time lurker, watcher of Zero Punctuation, Extra Credits and occasionally Unskippable. I also stalked the forums for a long time, then finally decided to make an account so I could reply to stuff.

So yes, Hi all! Name's Dragoniferous, I'm a girl, I live in Australia. Nice to meet you.

nice to meet ya, awesome avatar

Why thankyou. I'm rather the fan of Classic Disney stuff.

Um... hello.

I don't really know what I can say. So do you (or anyone reading this for that matter) like saltine crackers?

They're really nice with vegemite on them. We have some other brand here though, but they're the same thing.

Why do people make "I'm New" threads? Seems a bit like attention seeking. You don't need to announce your presence to the entire forum. You'll do that plenty enough just by posting.

I saw a bunch of them, and assumed it was just the thing to do. Meet some people, say hi... Wasn't doing it to attention seek

Welcome to the Escapist!

Huh, never thought to do this when I joined... Good way to meet people, get to know the amorphous community here and get your post counter up

Get yourself right over to Loading Ready Run, you'll thank me later!!

Loading Ready Run? Alright, I shall. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

[Lullabye]

So many new ones...I'm almost tempted to give them a name or something.
[sub]Newfags?...no, 4chan has that one...[/sub]

Anywho, Welcome!
If you troll, we'll shoot you and wear your fur as a coat.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Welcome. As a more veteran Escapist, my biggest, BIGGEST suggestion is never post low-content posts - aparently the forum admins got bored and decided to pull a BS rule out, and attack anyone with a one word post.

But yes, other than that you'll do fine.

Greetings Dragoniferous.

I'm liking this dragon-themed username more so then most of the others I've seen/can remember seeing.

Um... hello.

I don't really know what I can say. So do you (or anyone reading this for that matter) like saltine crackers?

very much so. Do you have any? Can I has?

 

[Dragoniferous]

Welcome, but you shouldn't ever admit to being a girl on the internet.

I'm too busy loving your avatar to listen to your advice. I love Fight Club far too much.

thats all you need to know...

My awesome? My awesome what? I kid, thanks.

Right, gonna quote myself here.

Hi there.
1. Stay out of the Basement.
2. The Search Bar is your friend.
3.Don't feed the trolls.
4. You are never the only one for anything.
5. Versus threads are frowned upon.
Please enjoy your stay at the Escapist. The indoor pool is to your left, right past the Hell Gate.

Benn a lot of these the past few days, haven't there?

Edit: Oh yeah, and look for a user group that might interest you.

And no 'In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what's your weapon/plan/fort'?

 

[GrimTuesday]

Welcome! If you like Zero Punctuation and movies, check out Moviebob's movie reviews as well. Also I recommend Doraleous and Associates.

Also a quick first-timer tip: don't go into the Religion & Politics subforum. It's bad in there.

He's lying we're not all mean people who frequent the religion and politics thread... we just don't like stupidity. Just come in with some knowledge and you should be fine.

OT: Welcome to our humble abode, the community is nice for the most part now that Maxie is gone ;_;. don't feed the trolls and all that jazz, just have fun and enjoy your stay.

 

[Jfswift]

Same here, i've been lurking for quite a while now.

Thanks... It came from trying to think up a new username to use because I disliked the one I had been using, and attaching suffixes to 'dragon'. Dragonacious, Dragonerific, Dragonible, Dragonation, Dragonism, etc...

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Welcome to the Escapist! Stay out of the Basement, that's where Slender Man and the souls of the banned resides. Also, don't go in the Scary Thread. Slender Man has made many an appearance there too.

Same here? You're not new, you have over a thousand posts!

Slender Man?

...Do I want to know?

 

[Paksenarrion]

Welcome!

Beware the low content post reporters. They can't take a joke.

 

[The Man With the Soap]

Welcome, but you shouldn't ever admit to being a girl on the internet.

I'm too busy loving your avatar to listen to your advice. I love Fight Club far too much.

What are the seven rules?

Slender Man?

...Do I want to know?

No. Don't Google him. It's for your own good. Don't muck up this place with Slender Man pics either guys. We don't need that.

EDIT: You'll find a pic of him sooner or later. He's terrifying.

 

[The Man With the Soap]

I never thought to make such a thread upon my joining oh so long ago.

 

[Souplex]

Hello, and welcome!
A few basic rules:
Souplex is your god.
Don't be a dick.
You will obey Souplex.
The mods are your friends.
Souplex's word is law.
The search bar is your friend.
You shall live your life in support of Souplex.
Don't feed trolls.
Souplex is your god. (It's so important I had to say it twice)

Welcome to the forums. As one of the veteran members I hope you enjoy your stay.

Here are some top tips:

1.Ignore the "reply" button in the forums. New users get caught out by it, but all it does is move you to the box at the bottom. If you want to reply to somebody's post use the "Quote" button. They'll get a little message saying you quoted them and people understand what you're talking about.

2. Check out the <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups>User Groups. I can say that every Zero Punctuation ever made has not equalled the fun I've had with user groups. They're the reason I join in on the escapist rather than just read the news and watch the videos. I've been on holidays with people from the User groups.

3. Check out the old videos from series that have finished. Particularly <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade>Doomsday Arcade. You can find a list of series <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/galleries>here. Watch at least one episode of each to see if you like anything. Unforgotten Realms is also great.

4. Learn some of the forum code. If you've used forums before, or have a working knowledge of HTML then you should be fine. Check out <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/markup_help.php>this page for helpful hints on embedding videos and links into forum posts.

5. If you need Avatars then go to the <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Avatar-Store-New-and-Second-Hand>Avatar Store. Traditionally people change their avatars for holidays like Halloween. Christmas, and March Mayhem. The Store is full of great artists who can make almost any avatar you want.

Oh hello.

Please do not start any 'the thing to your left is...' threads. There have been way too many of these as of late.
