Here's a couple of hints for how to ingratiate yourself on each board:

1) General Questions - Ask if 0.999999etc really equals 1. Or try to dispute the Monty Hall problem. OIr better yet, nonchantlantly ask whether an airplane could take off from a treadmill. All winners.

2) Great Debates - Conspiracy theory threads always invite well balnced and interesting debate, especially if it involves 9/11 or Lee Harvey Oswald. Start one today.

3) Cafe Society - Instant acceptance can be had if you simply throw in a tangentially relevant Simpsons reference/quote into almost any thread. Also, remember, Josh Wheden is a god, do not talk ill of him...EVER! Star Wars an Lord of the Rings don't really get much attention in CS, so don't waste your time.

4) BBQ Pit - Scour news sites for the most blatant episode of parental/teacher/police misconduct and post it and how outraged you are. Then wait for the accolades as everyone also chimes in about their disgust. Unexplored territory also includes driving, cell phones, cell phone service providers, movie theater talkers, George Bush, Best Buy, SUVs, and surpisingly the moderators.


Welcome!

You know, I don't think you should get a hazin'.

Only because you asked for it. Your hazing is going to be the lack of a hazing....

Is this why the board is so slow? Because we're spending money that should go to system maintenance and hamster feed on mutilatinginducting n00bs who haven't even ponied up yet? Not to mention the cleanup costs!

Why, in my day we grumble grumble grumble — and we liked it!

There really isn't any hazing. However, I suggest that newbs refrain from starting new threads in the PIT unless they really like verbal abuse.

We gotta get rid of it somehow.

I suppose we could call back the squcks, altho the squid would fight like hell to keep their niche in the ecosystem.

Thanks for the warm (cold?!) welcomes... I think. Maybe it wasn't the wisest decision to draw attention to myself, but I get the feeling that once I start fitting in, you are a fun bunch of people!

Gangster Octopus, it is funny you should mention the Simpsons because I was trying to do a Dr. Nick in my original post.

Also, ponder this:

Why does everyone assume my screen name is Frozen "Fish Sticks" and not "Frozen Fish" Sticks?
