Salutations.

I have been a long time lurker (at waterthread before, now f13), and I've now decided to register and throw my two pennies out here and there. I really apreciate the maturity of these boards, and the fact that most topics are intelligent and don't degenerate into mindless name calling and flame wars. I'm looking forward to my time here.

Does anyone else hate those ppl on talk radio who insist on starting off with 'long time listener, first time caller!' Seriously who are these fucktards?!? We don't give an airborne fecal matter if your a first time goat raper just get on with your f'ing point.

If you make it through the first week without doing anything monumentally stupid (ie. agree with Bruce, talk about furries, go anywhere near the politics forum, or talk about how there aren't enough levels in MMO's these days) we may not eat you alive.

Well, we might, but only because we need to look tough sometimes. I've got dibs on your sweet sweet eye juices just in case.

Enjoy your stay.

I think I can manage that. And why all the hostility with the intro? I'm just . . . sob . . .introducing myself . . . sob . . .I thought that was polite.

Aw hell, I'm used to this kind of thing anyway from previous boards I've posted on. I think I can take a little fire.

And as far as the "long time lurker first time poster" thing goes, that WAS my point, as opposed to having some other one that I needed to get to.

And my point is its not and no one gives a rats. Now post something about how much you hate 1. EQ/SOE/SWG/DaOC 2. Levelling treadmill/roleplaying 3. Forced grouping/Soloing 4. All of the Above and you'll fit right in.

If it gets too rough for you here, just remember that many of your tormentors once played female EQ wood elves to get free phat lewtz, and now they are overcompensating with brutal displays of board-posting aggression.

Geez-us, even I wasn't monumentally stupid enough to post an intro thread.  No reason to do so, just register and start posting is that's what moves you.

Everyone knows who the newest victim... member.. is anyways because it's listed on the board stats.  Formally announcing it as you did simply means you are holding the target firmly against your chest so any near misses don't know it askew.

Oh yeah, if there's anything left after PD gets done picking over your stuff, I call seconds.

Quite.  Was a bit of a pain in the ass to get a status dump of a Wraith to grab, but I'm happy to say it's still possible.  The 8 Finns logged on to the MUX were 3 days idle, so you couldn't actually do anything with it.

You haven't seen the politics forum. Or the EQ2 vs WoW debate. Or Bruce on any topic.

Welcome. I sorta skipped the intro and just jumped in and asked to be in a guild for CoH. Then just posted alot until Schild about screams I think cause my name pops up to much.

You'll find that most people here are relatively nice. The rest are perverts.

Seconded on the Avatar.   BTMUX for the winn4r.

And yes, I'm around ,though I haven't stepped into a BTMUX for, like, a year or something.

Beware Blacksky, the #hate crowd will give you a ritual text-based beating if you dare contradict them!

Or maybe I'm just really fun to give ritual text-based beatings to, hmm.

What board do you speak of, and what is it's location?

BTW, do you play any MMOG's and if so, which ones.

It was polite, just that intro posts kind of imply that people should care about who you are, and the fact that you've decided to contribute to the discussions. Ultimately, your reputation among other posters will be made based on *WHAT* you contribute, not just *THAT* you contribute.

Bring the noise.
