Well it helps even more to not only have an interesting avatar but also to go from from zero to entertaining in 2 days like Zart or Q

Good gravy, thanks and all Cort, but really I can't even be on a list composed of just me an Zart.

Besides, I'm sure some people would disagree about my level of entertainment provided.


Well I guess noah doesn't count, but I'm sure AD could say some shit about me that would be true and negative at the same time. 


As for the n00bs, there's really waaaay too fuckin' many.  I'm at the point now where if I don't recognize the name/avatar I just skim the post for naughty words and move on.  At this rate they won't even get assigned "personalities" in my mind until like 2010.

[wombat]

one big mass of n00b.

I propose that we ought to have a test people take before they're allowed to register.  They need to pass a quiz on major highlights of the archives, important minor characters, common board in-jokes, and facts about the board regulars including the Gone but Not Forgotten. And thereafter if they express surprise at the fact that they can't type the words '#####' and '*****', immediate bannation.

This is my reasonable reaction to the situation.  Compared to my dark thoughts that, for example, no one can register without an avatar that has been approved for excellence by a committee composed of me.

You're full of shit for saying I would say some negative shit about you. (ironic juxtaposition jokingly intended).
Unless saying that you and I don't agree on anything would be considered negative. In which case, I guess.

For the record, I think you're pretty much an un-crap dude.

[misterqueue]

Merely teasing AD, merely teasing.

I think of you like my non-evil Nemesis.  Like we have all these secret battles on the streets of Astral City and whatnot, and maybe afterwards we go and split a pizza.

Oh and mostly I'm only mad at you because in my imagination your cape is waaay better than mine, which is basically a towel with a safety pin.

I don't know how this is your fault and not a fault of my imagination however.

[FutureDeadPerson]

Damnit, I knew I should have registered when I first saw this place.  But then I thought to myself, "Why waste my time talking about Achewood when I could possibly be doing something constructive like become a fireman or a seal trainer."  You see, it wasn't the GOF that got me to register here, it's that my life is now sadly out of options.


Ah well, at least I got my Hot Pockets brand stuffed sandwiches. 

[CortJstr]

Damn, wombat went all hard-ass on us. She wants test and hazing, and probably some kind of spanking ritual now.

Although back in the Dumbrella days I lurked for like 7 months for fear of being mercilessly mocked off the board.

[wombat]

I would have lurked on Dumbrella forever if Onstad hadn't asked for someone to cook a Hell Baby and post a picture, and I beat everyone else to it.  You can't just settle for any old first post, people.

[Hobot]

Yeah, but the Dumbrella boards are notoriously vicious.  I've given up posting there for fear that I may say the wrong thing, be mercilessly abused, and be forced to live out the rest of my days in a cave, crying and having no one to talk to but myself.

[wombat]

Yeah, but the Dumbrella boards are notoriously vicious. 

And we are of course all sweetness and light.  But we do have standards.

[jough]

This board is like an electronic hug compared to Dumbrella.

Okay, we may slap your ass and grab a handful of crotch during that hug, but a hug's a hug nonetheless.

[Doc]

Man I lurked for ages before posting on this board, it's just such a tight nit group (and fairly high on the wit and intelligence-o-meter too) that it's a bit intimidating. Brilliant first few posts help in a big way should have though more instead of just trying to insinuate myself in over time, I'm still working on that one. So yeah, all you filthy lurkers think for a while and come up with something to totally blow us all away.

Actually deliberately brilliant first posts would probably just end up being hi-lariously bad but then that's always welcome entertainment too.

Not to mention potential bannination for punning or TOUAMBIE for the most irritating N00b. We keep getting N00b traffiic like this, we might have to award that one monthly.

[V-Adore]

Man, nobody will ever dethrone THA SUGAH RAIN. He may have to be the worst n00b of 2006/2007/2008, really.

(Newbies, don't attempt to dethrone him. This particular TOUAMBie is not an honor.)

I, too, lurked for approximately forever on the Dumbrella board because I was afraid. Once this board arose I, a gentle n00blet, came on and started analyzing like mad, somehow managing to get myself tolerated to this very day. Hooray!

[Doc]

get myself tolerated to this

Can we get a 'most ridiculous understatement by someone with "admin" under their name' award please?

[V-Adore]

Can we get a 'most ridiculous understatement by someone with "admin" under their name' award please?

Man, I'm just trying to keep my expectations of my role here realistic. I have to assume that anyone who's lost 70% of the tiny cans they've ever acquired, and appears to be losing faster than gaining, is at bare minimum in a low-water popularity period. I'd rather think of myself as adequate and not be disappointed than wake up one morning to the proverbial pig's blood on my head at the prom.

(Especially since I'm relatively sure you can't telekinetically slaughter people over the Internet, so, y'know.)
