I remember making a "Hi I'm new thread", but that was a couple of months before the huge GameGo migration. I think the only ones who replied to that thread back then were Bahn, Brotherman, and Wildcat...

If memory still serve's my currently masturbating ass, the last person to survive a verbal bashing by everyone completely unscathed has to be, we'll no one.
At least since the TNL days, back during gamego the mod's deleted those responses before the person in flames was even able to read them. I remember Matt had a negative post count from all those deleted messages.
I'm kind of happy we are a little less strict in that department.
Well, the few who actually survive the initial abuse for creating such a thread and go one to become regular contributors here are probably the cream of the crop.
To become a really good poster on awesome boards like TNL, such a close-knit community, you have to have somewhat thick skin and the ability to be humored. If getting flamed for creating a board-cluttering "Hi, I'm new here..." thread is enough to drive someone off, that person probably wouldn't have become a very worthwhile member of the community.
Sorry if this is coming off a bit elitist, but it's true. It's how TNL has managed to stay such an awesome forum in the almost two years since I first came here. Those who weather the initial semi-friendly, semi-hostile forum initiation almost always end up being awesome new members of the community, occasional exceptions like Opa-Opa nothwithstanding.
what if your relatively new and ur not dumb enough to post a thread like that...?
Didn't he have a couple thousand negative score?Quote:

Well, I came here from GO boards, even before GO's first crash. This place was more silent than a tomb :) I dont remember posting "I'm Noob Thread" though.
I've been around like forever now.
I posted a "Hello, I'm kinda new..." thread to say that I used to post on the GameGO! boards and wanted to know if anyone else had. I didn't really get flamed, though. I think 88 put the STFU NEWBIE! picture up; that was awesome.
Jesus, It was so long ago, I can't remember if I made a newbie thread.
I came when Bahn was whoring this place at SRK (well, the fan-art board anyway). It was really quiet, so I kinda dissappeared, and then the Gamego migration happened, and I took an even longer hiatus. I was an invisible poster for a while, now I'm atleast somewhat recognisable (i think :p ).
