Teh newbie guide!!1111

[old.Kez]

You're all sat there thinking "he's going to pipe on about someone doing a newbie guide for all the fucktards that join" ...
You're sort of right, only I've taken the time out (I say time, I mean I woke up and did something, for a change) to start assembling one, which until BW open their hosting service again can be found here.
Much of its pretty bad grammar, and its only a start, and some of its probably incorrect. But mother always told me I was speshul, and its the thought that counts.

So er, point out errors, omissions, etc. so I never have to read a post by some lazy prick who's just signed up again.

Wow....that's actually....good

This thread should be stickied

 

[Embattle]

Great minds think a like...I had wondered about using a forum topic for something like that just after Hell Risen arrived

BTW where is the reference to Embattle Is King?

 

[Hashmonster]

nice one kez, strange i was also just thinking of such a subject after hell risen's impressive postings

 

[Kempo]

need a link in thre to m00 mark 2 tho

 

[Embattle]

TBH Moo started all right but got crap and isn't a good thread neither is Moo2.

 

[Ono]

So it's Official?

The meaning of Glen that is?

 

[old.Kez]

moo

The second attempt at a moo thread will get no display, because its just spam as far as I'm aware and there's already a link to a substantial spam thread there, there's no need for more of the same. moo two wasn't an imporant thread, it was just someone trying to 'cash in' (for lack of a better equiv.) on the original.

Right, now thats cleared up, anyone got any useful suggestions or errors to report?

I've changed the styles to a seperate css file because of some spastic render that the hosting seemed to do. nngh.

 

[mr.Blacky]

uhmmm seeing some nice posts in a row, so how about:
if you can put it in one post DO it, unless for commical relieve

 

[Testin da Cable]

well done

 

[bigbb]

I must say that's jolly good, If only I had this superb educational resource available when I trod my virginal foot on the green. :/

 

[Hashmonster]

is there anyway of remotely making this pop up on someones screen...? i have a list!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Well, m00 mark 2 came about, after i felt the desire to express my feelings on SP and MP, in the unspammed General FPS board. If you select vuiew all posts, in that forum, you'll see i just put the topic as m00, and so Chetan's MM2 wasn't a rip off over any existing m00 threads, just an attempt to m00 in the General FPS, since i don't like beef.

Well, i think that was why he started mm2, or maybe he did just wanna rip off original m00? He's a right Gimp, so it's hardly unlikey.

 

[Nibbler]

Yay sticky!

 

[bigbb]

heheh, splendid, just splendid.

 

[shadow`]

maybe there should be a redirect to this for new signups?

 

[Ono]

To have your own wonderful custom avatar thingimajig you have to have at least 20 posts. It must be 50x50 pixels and must be uploaded to your own webspace

...or from your C:/ drive.





Criticism, but contructive.

 

[Nibbler]

*me gives Ono a noddy badge*

 

[Summo]

Good work, Kez.

 

[Embattle]

It should include a section for how the regulars should behave, the way some people tell newbies to fuck off etc right away for some silly things isn't really any better than the newbies coming on and annoying the regulars.

 

[Summo]

No way! The sort of people we want here have basic people skills. I spent a couple of weeks reading the posts and trying to form a picture of who people were before I ever posted. It was a few weeks later before I felt 'blended in' enough to actually start a thread. Even then I mis-judged it. In the same way I wouldn't walk into a party full of strangers and start mouthing off. Figure out the 'feel' of the place first and then, maybe, offer a comment.

If peeps can't figure that out then they're not the sort of people who'll last any time here anyway. Sod 'em.

 

[caLLous]

Aye, good point.

 

[Testin da Cable]

ahh... if only everyone were like you Summo. *sighs* *nibbles kitten a la mod*

More will come and all the big mouths will do is get themselves in to trouble eventually. Normally most just need a helping hand and not told to fuck off right away since its just as childish just as many of you did when you joined....in fact few of us were perfect.

 

[Embattle]

naturally if they continue then feel free to tell them to fuck off.

 

[MYstIC G]

i'm in shock here, wtf happened to Kez to make him useful?????

 

[Testin da Cable]

naturally.

 

[MYstIC G]

(P.S. can it be fed to Summo?)

 

[Testin da Cable]

no. it's too yummy to share

 

[MYstIC G]

b00!
