If I were making my first post all over again I think I'd make it in the "Your first post on Bay 12" thread, as a quote of myself saying "This is my first post".  For the implied recursion, or something.


Anyway, welcome and suchlike, Shobak.

Welcome to Bay12, Shobak. It might not seem like it, but we are actually very welcoming (mostly). We're just psychopaths who are fond of unnecessary bickering. Go post around, get yourself used to the insanity (embrace it) and revel in the general awesome of these fora. A quick point: After reading a bit you'll notice things about some forum members. GWG (GreatWyrmGold, who has over 50k posts), for example, has an issue with magical girls. Xantalos is an eltritch abomination and will roast your mind if you say otherwise. Toaster has issues conceptualising reason.  And so on. Roll with it.
We also have fostered a significant LGBT community here, which is great. I'm sure Descan could tell you more.
But welcome to the forum, all the noise that it entails, and have fun!

Sir, you forgot the obligatory 'come check out my stuff!' and links!

Oh wait, you're actually going to be a member  :o, we need more people like this. So many first posts/new account mixtures are advertisers lately.

Yeah we don't really do these kind of 'hey guise im new here pls t8k care of me' threads around here.
What I did was just ease myself into the forums like a ninja, and nobody noticed.

WELCOME TO FUCKING BAY 12! Hope you like miasma!

I'm in favour of an escaped lunatic introduction thread. It wouldn't take up much space, and it would make the forums seem like a more welcoming place.

Welcome! *hug*

We used to have people regularly doing first-time posts to say hello, but I guess they've gone out of fashion.... as you seem to be discovering =/  In any case, welcome.  Have a good time, and I hope to see you around :]

Hiiii Shobak! :D
Good to have you onboard, the lad will see you to your cabin and dinner will be served in the mess hall at 1800 hours sharp.
We drill at dawn, be sure to set your alarm.

Seriously though, I didn't make an introduction thread, but I did make a thread in the upper boards specifically for my newbie DF questions. I like feeling special, too!

Since I see people sharing their bay12 introducing stories, I'll say that when I came to bay12, I dropped on the RtD by Avis-Mergulus and wrote a most detailed character I ever made. Then posted only in this thread for a while, then decided t run an RtD of my own.

Oh, yes, almost forgot - hello Shobak.

Everyone else is sharing their introduction stories, so I guess I'l share my own too.
It' been that long since I joined my first RtD? Enough of me rambling about myself.
Welcome, Shobak. I hope you enjoy it here, I suppose. Feel free to do whatever you want, as long as it's not against the rules.

I think the first thing I really did was join one of GWG's over a year ago.

The secret reason why people don't like introductory posts is because they turn into a bunch of us faffing about talking about introductory posts. :V
