    Default Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9

    Welcome to the eighth ninth incarnation of the popular Welcome thread for new members.

    If you are new, feel free to post your greetings and salutations here.

    If you are old, feel free to stop by from time to time and welcome the new folks to the playground.

    Regardless of your current status, new or old, welcome to the Playground.

    (Please do keep non-salutation conversations to a minimum, here, random banter is there for a reason. Also, be kind to new posters. I believe new posters are our future; treat them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride. stopmebeforeIquotethisentiresongwhatonearthdidfour thgradedotome)

    As you enter through a rather large pair of beige doors, with the title ''Forums'' above them, you see a round room with doors with their individual title above them.

    The next thing that catches your eye is a a length of text
    Forum Rules
    Trolls and careless people, beware.


    As you skim through them you think, oh that's not so hard. But oh be carefull, for while these moderators try to be kind, they will also be strict and punish the deserving. Give the rules a good read through. You'd rather not get banned, now will you?

    As you now look to the door to your right, you see Friendly Banter, for everything that doesn't fit into the rest.(And that small that does not have a thread or is not big enough to deserve it's own one, goes into Random Banter, a passerby tells you.)

    Thinking the best idea would be to stroll through the forums you pass through the Media Discussions board, the various gaming boards, the homebrewing board, arts & crafts and a many other. At the end you see ''Silly Message Board Games''.

    You end up hanging out there a bit, and there you learn a important lesson, have fun and don't be afraid to ask a question or strike up a private conversation, as most of us are a friendly bunch and don't mind answering a question or two either.

    A cookiemonster who was previously discussing something with a Troglodyte and rather Serpentine being, breaks off towards you.

    ''Hiya there, I see you're new! Welcome, here, have a cookie! And don't forget to pet the llama when you see him!''

    The cookiemonster quickly returns to his conversation, leaving you to your own devices.

    Have fun!

    If you mean create a new THREAD, there's a button both above and below all the little green and brown circles for each thread. Exactly what are you planning to do with this thread? If it's making a new game ruleset, it goes in the Homebrew forum.

    Not new per se, but it would appear I'm back, after a stint somewhere outside walking distance of human civilization, that lasted about three times as long as it was supposed to.

    Wow, I seem to have joined at a fortuitous time. I expected the "hello" thread to be pages and pages deep.

    Neat!

    Oh yeah, and hello, all.

    Uh..hi?

    I've been lurking on Giantitp for a while, and to a lesser extent, the forums.
    Now while I am new here I am not new to forums rules and regulations, though when I was typing my sig I noticed "You have one censored word, please fix that" or something, which caught me off guard. Every forum I had been to in the past allowed swearing so I wonder if that is a sig-specific thing or a certain thread specific thing or if it applies to the whole forum.

    Anyway yeah, my name is something I put together in a few minutes.
    Usually I go by "Stinkosar" But I was tired of being mistaken for a Smelly Dinosaur, which is what the name ISN'T. So I decided to come up with this.
    I was thinking of I how I play rouge-ish mostly, and how I like sickles.
    And then I thought of how awesome electric charged sickles would be.
    Than I thought how awesome a electric rouge using electric sickles would be.
    Originally there was a space in there but character limit, so, yeah.


    And that is my "brief" introduction.

    Hiya, ElecrougeSickle! Welcome to the Playground

    While you may be familiar with other forum rules, the ones here are a little bit tighter than most others I've seen, so I'd definitely suggest checking them out. There's a link at the top of every page, or right here

    Hello, people!

    I have been reading both the comic and the forum for some time, and decided to make a profile here myself. It seems like such a nice place, especially for RPG discussions (I've taken up DnD-ing again this year. Much fun.)
