In this thread, we’re all newbies. Throw away that postcount and cast your mind back to the days when you were a shiny happy newbie, full of wonder and empty of any clue as to how this board works! Of course, actual newbies are welcome as well. I realize that, to make this more authentic, I should have posted it in GQ or The Pit, so just suspend your disbelief and pretend that this thread is somewhere it shouldn’t be. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin. ====== hi i am new to thus message bord lol how many of u r chicks? ---

I have a book report due this Thursday and I need to know if anyone out there can tell me what the book “War and Peace” is about. I just need a quick summary that I can cut and paste into my report. Where can I find MP3 files for (insert band or artist name)? Nobody on Kazaa seems to have them. I can’t afford to buy their CDs but I love their music. ---
