I see alot of new faces here lately and it seems that most of them forget some basic etiquette. What nobody introduces themselves anymore? To me just jumping in and posting away on a board without a basic "hi I'm new I'd like to join in the conversation" kinda thing comes across like some dude or dudette butting in on a conversation. Not trying to be an dick or anything just noticing some trends is all....respect ya'll
i'm alex i'm a newbie still that went nuts on a collection in a very short amount of time i like long walks on the beach and puppies my turn offs include cockiness, rudeness, and syphilis
I was waiting to see who was gonna do this first. Now you old farts go on an scoot..go on scoot , scoot! BTW for the record I'm still a Fresh Meat too BUT a properly introduced Fresh Meat.
I think for one thing theres no specific "Introduce yourself" thread, thats sort of de rigeur of where to post your noobness and it threw me off when i joined. The OG hardcore nature of the board lends itself to watching what you say in the first few post in hopes you dont get verbally pummelled until you pee blood, ya know? I think they should throw down an official thread for that sort of thing.
no old fart here! the old farts are the ones who can post a show off pic of one toy that 800 other people have and get 50 replies saying how awesome it is haha come to think of it, those toys are usually rxh toys
I'm andy. I've been around since half the people here collected Dunnnys (before Western vinyl was uncool).
http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=8360 here you go. i like this thread personally. I'm Ed. I like anraku and I was also here when Pogue was Knewnan, but only for about a week or two
Yeah the board intros thread should be a sticky so when newbs pop in they can clearly see where to pleade for acceptance, also since there's so many new folks they can read who WE are there. I'm Jeff! Go search that thread atease posted to find out more about my thrilling life!
are there new boardmembers? i always feel that it's just the same 10 people posting, buying, selling, trading the same shit over and over and over and over again
i'm Parka, I measure old men for trusses to sort out their torn nut-sacks. plus I was here when Andy was Creaturion, Pogue was Knewnan and Kozik had an SB collection.
where is the line between old school and newbie? i was at super7 the first day the store opened (long before i worked here), and read the magazine well before that, but have nothing on some of the folks here, especially brian, who im pretty sure completed his barom-1 collection before I had my first skeletor .
I'm Kirkland. Been here since just about the time Mark had an S7 card, Andy was creaturion, Pogue was Knewnan and Geo was posting up (lots) of pictures.
I'm Keith... I have the most posts on the message board... I disappeard for 6 months, came back, and I still had the most posts on the board...
