Hey everyone! I’m new to the SDMB. If you have any advice for me, instructions (how to do things here) or you just to say “hi” this is the time to do so. Thanks!
Buy Biggirl a beer. Tell her Pink Slinky sent you.

Do not post a long string of consecutive characters, lest ye screw up the page width.
-
Avoid The Pit until you have learned the quirks.
-
An extra Smiley is not necessarily a good thing.

Do Not Feed The Trolls.
All told, that should make for a lovely experience. Welcome aboard, glad to have you.
Stop by “About this Message Board” it’s got loads of stuff about how to do things.
And Hi nice to read you .
Watch all the long-time posters.
And be afraid. Be very afraid!
And remember you really, really really don’t want to know about felching.

P.S. I am serious you don’t want to know. If you see a thread with felch in the title, DON’T OPEN IT!!!
Same goes for if it has Coldfire in the title.
If you’re a girl, flirt with Vestal and Mr. C at every turn.
What? That’s NOT a rule? Then why the hell do I keep doing it??
You also REALLY don’t want to know about squicking.
And you don’t want to open my homepage.
Hi Silver_Fire. Welcome. And for your hazing assignment from me, you must prove you know how to use the search feature (which is critical to your future enjoyment at SD) by resurrecting my 1000th post party thrown by WallyM7, getting yourself nekkid and joining in the fun!
Thanks for that bit of advice, but I’ve already done that. Just wanted to know the things that weren’t covered there. I know there must be a lot. And thanks to everyone who have posted here…you’ve been helpful. And to the 60 people who have come here and said nothing…well, ummm, thanks or something.
I’ll give ya a damned good piece of advice. Don’t piss me off. How do I avoid that, you ask? Very simple, just don’t be a jerk.
Don’t post unless you have something to say.
Seriously, don’t just post to say “me, too” unless it’s appropriate for the thread. As for those who visited and didn’t post, they might not have had anything further to add to what has already been posted.
Welcome to the board.

Don’t worry we don’t perform sacrifices here. We are all nice and friendly people, pay no attention to the red stains on the basalt block over there, just grape juice…did you say you were a virgin?
[sub]For the humor impared :)[/sub]
Me too!
There are rules? I thought you just post until you get banned, rejoin under a new name, and brag about your total superiority over the moderators. Then you get banned and the process starts all over again.
Hi, how are ya? welcome.

Hi, and welcome to the insanity! And don’t be discouraged by all the “views” vs. posts. Some people ::looks up innocently, whistles, twirls toe in dirt:: lurk while at work but don’t post.
And ignore Mr. Cynical; he’s grouchy right now because he hosted a Doper party at his house. Glad he finally made bail.

One more thing: if you go to GD, and you say something like “because of fact “X” I say conclusion “Y””, for krisake back up fact “X” with a cite, or be ready to. Sometimes you are
only giving your opinion, which is fine, but if you say or allude you have facts, be prepared to show them. And “a book I read once” is NOT a cite. And before you join into some thread there, be sure to read all the posts, 1st.
Yeah, what he said.

Welcome to the Real World Silver_fire
My advice is simple:
Be honest
Be yourself
Be respectful of the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion
Question with good intent
Simple huh?
Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some people just abuse the privilege.
