Wow thanks a ton. I've been lurking for a while and I still a bit confused. You should make survival guides for EVERY board and sub-boad! XD Imagine.

Well I'm a newbie, >> stating the obvious, and though I'm not new in all this forum thing, I must say that guide is really helpful for me because I have been away from forums since so, so long and it does help to know that.^^

Me? I've been bouncing around all kinds of forums, KHI, KHI, gaiaonline, some m.o.v.e. boards, anti-shurtugal, etc. but it's nice to find a place where people appreciate new people, from new people who are literally new to forums, to people who've had experience in other forums...
Of course I was one of those people who didn't like n00bs but the n00bs I ranted against were of the idiot sort.

That is a lovely welcome thread and I'm glad to be a member of yet another forums.
;D
Cheers!

If you're introducing yourself here, you probably are a new member, also known as newbies, noobs, (and my personal spelling) n00bs. Unfortunately, there's been a little bit of hazing (hazing: verb. Treating new members of a sorority or group poorly simply because they are new) going on in DH (Distant Horizons). The social dynamics of this forum are a lot like a school and you guys are the freshmen. Keeping a few tips in mind can help you navigate through your "first day of school" confusion. - Please, please, please read through a board before you start a topic there. Just check the last 5 pages of threads to see if anyone else has written something very similar to your idea. For instance, don't make a thread (techno-talk for those clicky green things you click on right before the actual discussion takes place) on two Avatars at the same time, a fifth element, Aang's little sister, or ZOMG ZuTARA PWNS SO HARD!!!!!. These ideas have been discussed to bits and nothing will bring down a swift and terrible vengance faster. Which leads me to my next topic-
- The more words you type out, the better you'll be. It's sad, but older users can get away with more "txt tlk" (text talk) you can get away with. If you don't know what the following sentence means "i Luff MaiKo SO much!! IT owns j00!" you should be fine. Just type like you normally talk. If that sentece held some meaning for you, leave your vowels in and type the way you talk. If you talk like that, seek help.
- Varitant of text talk- uSe PRoPeR PuNCTuCTaTioN aND CaPiTaLS,,,, BeCauSe THiS iS So aNNoYiNG!.!.1!!! Speel cheek yuor psost fro tyops, acuse tihs si aggrvatign, oto!
- Think before you speak. If you say something dumb as a vetran member, nobody will care. But when n00bs say something dumb, they generally draw attention to themselves. Think out what you want to say BEFORE you hit the "post" button.
- DO NOT double post. This threads are conversations, and if you converse with yourself, do it at home. Wait for someone else to get a post after yours before posting again. To check, you can refresh the page or come back to it after examining some other links. Bottom line? If your name is under "Last Response" in the little column in each board, wait till someone else's is there instead.
- I'm a member of exactly 3 (count them, three) forums and don't have more than 10 posts in any of the others, wheras I have around 1000 here. DH is awesome, and not to sound corny, but I love it here. Give it half a chance and you will have fun. And if you do get hazed, so what? Let it roll of your back. One of the biggest problems we have is people being too sensitive. Chill out.
I apolgize if I scared you with all this talk of vegence to n00bs, but I'm guessing you're better off knowing to tread carefully than stomping around the "General" board completely naive. Have fun, post a lot, and soon you'll be lecturing n00bs on their common mistakes like an old pro. Vetrans? If you thought this thread was the stupidest thing you've ever seen, shut up. I'm really sick of seeing n00bs get hazed, and through my relgion, family or crucial flaw in my DNA, I just cannot be mean to people who don't deserve it, and I feel sorry for people who get reprmanded for next to nothing (i.e.: n00bs) If you've got a problem with me trying to get n00bs past their larva stage as soon as possible, PM me. I'd be more than happy to take the issue up with you, but don't spam this board with how stupid this thread is. Anyone who compares this to "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" deserve eternal suffering. Do you think "Zink's Declassified n00b Survival Guide" has a good ring to it? Well, I am a member of a least 6 or seven different boards, and admin, or mod at many. I will probably not post here as much as I want to, because I am so in depth with the others. I agree with your assesment, and I do feel as noobs are stereotyped until they have at least 200 posts, sometimes more. You also have to remember every single rule, when there might be such as for me different rules for each message board. Then, you forget one specific one, and If you are a noob, people instantly cross you out as someone to avoid.

*pokes* Newb/Newbie--New person. Noob/n00b/etc--Annoying, hyperactive person who talks like they've never been taught how to. They will use multiple question marks and exclaimation points !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and use complete chat spek sl th. wai thru ther pots. On a virtual game they beg and annoying people, otherwise they are basically the pain to be around. Not to be confused together
