Please Don't Chew the Newbies

I occasionally poke fun at people with lower join dates than me, but it's always tongue in cheek.

quote

I figure I'll join this group. I've never posted in the newbie forum except for when I was a noob, mostly cuz it never occurred to me, but I have on several occasions got on someone's ass for being mean to newbies and try to be as nice as I can. Now that I've thought about it I'll probably help out int the newbie forum a little every now and then.

that sentence didnt finish, but I think you got my point

Airship / 5th fret was a different thing entirely. That was in The Pit. If you say something goofy in The Pit, you're fair game to whatever happens. The Newbie Forum is different. It's a safe place to get started and ask questions that others might think basic and obvious. It's a place to welcome people and lead by example. Even the assholes who I'd pwn in The Pit for being mean, I simply report in the Newbie Forum. Or just quote them and say that they're wrong. But yeah, I felt bad for Airship. They destroyed him, then danced on his bones. fwiw, you can tell a lot about a UGer by how they dealt with that one.

Yeah, I venture into the Newbie forum now and again. I enjoy helping out some new members, or some completely new g

hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that i appreciate what you guys and girls do in the newb forum.

it's really refreshing to enter a thread which has been posted in the wrong place, or which should have been in the intro thread, to find that one or more of you have already posted in it to welcome the person, explain where they went wrong and provide helpful information. it means i can usually just close or move the thread and not have to spend as much time explaining things, which as you know can get a little tedious in there haha.

so basically, thank you for your assistance! keep up the good work

cool group

whenever i see an incorrect thread in the noob forum,
i just politely point it out and show them where to go

quote

I still get p'wned every now and then, but I return the favor. . I think owning someone is a lovely joke and a great way to break any ice that may be overwhelming some, but you shouldn't take it to far. I guess this will help people understand the limits of the joke and how it can hurt if its not co-ordinated.

hey mate i was just wondering, its all good i see where your coming from,
and i agree on what your saying you have a good point.

I haven't been here in forever.

I also haven't been helping out newbies as much as I used to, but I'm going to get back in the habit of doing so.

I joined… I’m not a newbie, but I always felt bad for them, because people constantly pick on them… So I guess I came to the right place

Welcome!
