well hi, um, i'm 13, live in cambridge, ontario, new here (no!), adore the avernum series but don't have enough money to register it, and, i was just wondering if anybody here could sorta show me the ropes, you know, tell me who to avoid, what rules to _make sure_ i follow, ecetera. I find a board usualy has its own little community type thing, and i want to make sure i'm properly integrated.  -------------------- just a nosferatu girl Posts: 6 | Registered: Monday, July 7 2003 07:00 |

Welcome to SW! After reading the FAQ (link in top right corner of screen) and the CoC (code of conduct link on forum home), you should wait for someone helpful like Alorael to post something here.

Well, I'm here, but I have no great wisdom to impart. Just try to polite and friendly and ignore the occasional angry person here. —Alorael, who is always happy to see a new face... or name, anyway.

Oh dear. Ignore the rampant flaming going on right now; we're in the middle of a bit of a nasty conflict. It'll be over soon. I'm Mangophobia, but most people around here call me RoR, or the Grammar Wench. Watch your grammar, so I don't have to decapitate you with my Glistening Scythe of Correct Grammarness. Just remember--"your" is possessive, "you're" is a contraction for "you are," same goes for "their" and "they're," and "its" and "it's," and you should be fine. EDIT: Always nice to see another female member, too. We wenches are few and far between on these boards.

Welcome to Spiderweb! Unfortunately, these are troubled times for the boards and many normally decent members have been acting completely off their rockers– if you take my meaning. So basically try not to take things to seriously, don't take insults personally, think before you post, and generally try to be coherent. Judging from your post though, this shouldn't be to hard. -------------------- ~ §øСüm©ÿªñ¡Ðë ~ Mission Ridge -- All Your Snow Are Belong to Us. Posts: 1277 | Registered: Monday, June 24 2002 07:00 |

Greeness, as I said to Ouxe in the “Hello … questions” thread: from one relative newcomer to another, welcome! Here are a few things that I’ve observed during my short time here… General advice: — Read the Code of Conduct for the boards. There’s a lot of good net etiquette in there, for these boards and others. Specifically: — Double posts (two posts by the same author in the same thread, one right after the other), are discouraged. — Posts should stay reasonably on-topic. Now, some observations: — Some members change their nicknames more often than most people change their underwear … keeping track of who’s who is sometimes a challenge. — Nearly everyone here is extremely intelligent … I don’t know why they let me in.  — Because of all this volatile, rampaging intelligence, many here are rather … opinionated. — As a result, be aware of when it’s safe to dive into an argument between old rivals (that is, “rarely, if ever”), and know when to keep your distance from the flame wars (“always” is probably a safe bet  ).As Mangophobia wrote, however, this is generally a very friendly place … the topic just needs to be anything except real-world politics.  This is a great group of people with whom to share ideas.Most of all, have fun! (Finally, for the record, I'm not usually one to throw around the smileys; I just thought that a welcome thread deserved a bunch of them.  ) [EDIT, for Uranium Monk below: thanks.][ Tuesday, July 08, 2003 03:44: Message edited by: Churl ] Posts: 37 | Registered: Monday, June 9 2003 07:00 |

Hello, welcome to Spiderweb! I'm also new, just joined about 1-2 weeks ago.(look at date I joined in profile for exact date) Just be polite, try not to use chat-talk.(using "ur" for your, and "2" for too,to, and two, or using "4" for for.) You know, the works. Don't go crazy with the Graemlins.(they look fun but people hate seeing too many in one post) Most importantly, HAVE FUN!! Thats what we're all here for. Message me if you ever need help with something. If I can't help, I can find someone who can. I have tons of info for Avernum 3 and Geneforge.

Oh, and try the shift key. The little button under the one you press when you want to yell at somebody? On the left side. EDIT: Actually, it's on the right side as well. And since I'm editing this anyway, I would like to take up RoR's spirit and congratulate greeness on her level of coherence. It is quite pleasant to see, ergo I tip my hat, sunshine. Please note that my writing conventions leave much to be desired themselves, and that this post was written in a moment of annoyance. But the point remains the same. Please use the shift key.

So, is this going to be one of those hello threads where the person introducing themselves never ever posts again and we just squabble on endlessly about what we'd like to see in a message board? 'cause it sure looks like that. And, yes, RoR, do join Desp. Djur needs a harem so he can pine some more. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Wow. People post faster here than I would have guessed. Thank you very much, everybody, for your advice and welcome, and I will try to post accordingly (watch my shift-key usage, Nye!!). I have read the Code of Conduct, and there's nothing I'd do anyway - save, perhaps, profanity - so I'm fine in that area. Again, I appreciate your welcome and the level of intelligence seemingly maintained here. P.S. - You shouldn't expect this level of eloquence from me most of the time. -------------------- just a nosferatu girl Posts: 6 | Registered: Monday, July 7 2003 07:00 |

welcome greeness. everyone here is crazy, except for me, and I'm always right. Everyone else says this about themselves, but they are lying. I am one of those that changes the name constantly. In this case I have also changed my number, but that is another story and will never happen again. I can easily be identified by my prolonged absences, and my member number, 87. people here are proud of their obscure knowledge, so test them on it. welcome. -------------------- Tip of the Day #4: Some monsters should just be left alone.

Just ignore the "Everybody hates me! Waaaaa!" crap from TGM. Provided that it was, in fact, TGM and not an impersonator. Besides the strange paranoia (which has little, if any supporting evidence) he's alright. -------------------- ~ §øСüm©ÿªñ¡Ðë ~ Mission Ridge -- All Your Snow Are Belong to Us.
