Newbie Ultima

[Gryphon]

Well, you can't always expect someone to be on at the same time. People from across the planet come here. New Zealand, America, Puerto Rico, England... So that means different time zones. Some of the boards grow a lot over a day, that mostly being the Topic of Great Randomness, where members talk about anything that comes to mind.

Nitafan:
By the way, when I post something and I go back to see if anyone wrote something after me, I can't see it. Know what's going on?

What do you mean by that? Is it that you can't find where you posted? It doesn't appear? What? Because if you're only lookinbg at the very top where it lists the most recent posts, your post could've been bumped off.

We all know each other just from seeing eachother post so much. TTOGR helps a lot of with that. Names just get familiar. That's all.

[EWizard11]

Fwoosh. Y'all blew right by me. That FAQ was awesome, kli!

Nitafan: Welcome to the boards! I'm Ella (ignore the EWizard11, everyone calls me Ella here), and I am just about the oldest oldbie there is. IRL, I'm one of the youngest. But I was here before the boards were even.

*pauses to smile down on the faces of those n00bs looking up at her in awe* *in cracked voice* I remember the good old days, when we had to walk seven miles in the snow and it was uphill both ways!

AACCK!! POOT GOT ME! (for off-topic-ness)

Anyway, most things have been covered. After awhile here, you will most definitely and inevitably become:
-Educated about most of the forum in-jokes
-Random
-Insane
-A member of several RPs (I've still managed to avoid joining Gryphon's! )
-Hyper
-A regular participant in the Topic of Great Randomness (we all are: it's like we can't stay away!)(By the way, I am the proud...um...owner? I don't think I own it anymore-starter of the TTOGR!)
-More Random
-More Insane

So anyway, welcome to the boards, and I hope you have fun here!

[Melissa]

Have you tried hitting the refresh button? That sometimes works for me.

[Gryphon]

Ah, so I haven't gotten you to join yet, Ella.

Mwahaha

Ella and Nitafan, you two WILL join my roleplay! We have 20 members right now. Even BiW is joining!!! Please? http://vgdawn.avidgamers.com

Ha... Uphill both ways.

Insane and randomness aren't things to be afraid of! In fact, I have two insane kitties. One jumps out of no where and bites me for no reason. The other has a pet kitten that she licks and loves and then kills (by biting it around the neck). Aww, isn't that cute?

[semiramis]

Yaknow, maybe we should start different topics on different faq things.... like, an "in-joke" topic, and a rules and regs topic, and a "bewares" topic....

oh... something worth mentioning... the accy "WD" can also stand for "Winged Defender."

(You know, that character's accies are really annoying... There's "WD", and then there's "OC," which can also stand for "Original Character" or be the name of a sitcom, or get confused with "OOC", which means "out of character".... so you're kinda stuck no matter which one you use, but both names are kinda long...

(.... I suppose there's always "SBMTA"--"Saint bloody Michael the Archangel" XD)

[Kat]

Perhaps we should have a nick-name/username topic so newbies don't get confused. Also, is there anyway of moving the Newbie packs to this section as it would be the better place for them?
Plus, Gryphon, I MIGHT join your RP. Ilooked at the site and it seems pretty good. If I do join, it wont be for another couple of weeks though.

[Duncan]

Well i would love to know how to get an avatar picture. I have the perfect picture. Thank you sooooo much for your help.

[Agent M]

Duncan: If the picture is from Google or something like that than all you have to do is copy the address to the pic. and then go to "Go" "My Space" "Profile" And in profile it says "edit avatar" and then in there you can click "custom avatar" You can't upload anything from something like My Pictures without sending it to Lee first but if you just want to put one in from Google you can do that.

[Kathy Li]

And don't forget the avatar guidelines. Basically, watch the size and if it's copyrighted material.

[Zgirl]

Duncan. If you need some help finding an avatar. I can help! Just tell me what you're looking for and I'll do the rest. This applies to everyone!

[Kat]

Okay, I don't think this has been mentioned in this topic yet but remember if you are starting up a new topic to check whether there is already a simular one. Making to many of the smae topic takes up space and costs DD more money.

[Gryphon]

A lot of people are waiting until the end of school to join. Finals and all that. Heh. I oughta craete a VGDawn topic so that Newbies know what I'm talking about (and to get them to join )

Hehe. Gryphon's plans to dominate the world.

[nitafan211]

I don't know what it was that happened but, when someone posts after me I can see it. I also tried to refresh the page and it worked, also.

I started here in, *goes to look* the end of April, and I think I pretty much know the genneral gist of things around here.
