Newbies - piece of advice

[IdahoMR2man]

For all the newbies. I have been noticing an abundance of REALLY unnessecary posts lately. For instance, say there was a thread that was titled "Butter and why I like it" and you post in there, "I don't like butter". Ok.....? Great. The thread isn't called "Do you like butter or not?" So in short, if there's a thread called "Sex and why it's fun" don't post "I haven't had sex" or "How to quit smoking" don't post "I don't smoke".

Unneccesary posts just make people think you're only here to spam and isn't a very good tactic to making friends. If you feel that you have something to say in a thread make sure it has a point and other members will actually care about it. Thank you.

[Balrog of Moria]

But what if you DONT like butter?

[IdahoMR2man]

Well then perhaps you should explain why and why it matters to others that you don't like butter.

[JBond]

Hey, what do you have against butter, Idaho? ;)

[cg124]

well butter dose have high cholestera(sp)

[Balrog of Moria]

Do they have non dairy butter?

[TyRoss]

I prefer margarine myself.

[Clark Savage Jr]

Is there an anti butter bias around here I didn't know of?

[IdahoMR2man]

AHHHHHH!!!!!!

*jumps out window*

[Balrog of Moria]

*throws parachute out window*

He'll need that

[spiderman_2k]

He jumped just under 2 hours ago....I dont think that will help him much now....

[hpk37067]

I think he'll be caring more about his life than the butter now.

[Balrog of Moria]

hmmmm interesting....Well....Idaho will always live on in our memorys

(The parachute was rigged not to open anyway)

[Mr.Matinee]

This thread has what Idaho hated(before he died)...pointles posts.




And for the record,I prefer margarine over butter.

[Deexan]

R.I.P Idaho :-(

Lets hope he pulls a Gandalf on us.....

[Balrog of Moria]

Idaho the White: Whiter than ever

[Clark Savage Jr]

Of course, the best butter is peanut butter.

[hpk37067]

Nicely put. In the memory of Idaho of course.

aww, come on now..everyone posts stupid pointless stuff some times...

[JBond]

doesn't

[Iben]

do too.

[Riddle]

I don't like butter.

[IdahoMR2man]

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

*jumps out window in hell*

There's a difference between a worthy pointless post (99% of Jibbs are pointless but they are funny so it's ok ;) ) and someone saying something stupid just to respond to EVERY thread deserves a kick in the virtual balls.

I've tried explaining this to people, but they give me the whole "I'm just giving my opinion.".

I don't think a post that consists of "Yeah, that's cool.", is worth posting. If you think it's cool, tell us why it's cool, so we can respond and the thread doesn't die prematurely....

[Clark Savage Jr]

Why is Godzilla wearing an orange mask?

[tedward]

its michelangello isnt it?

[sphericthor]

Yep, that's Michaelangelo from TMNT

[Hitman]

I thought it was pretty funny as well.

[Tardumb]

So really, the issue isn't with newbies making pointless posts, cuz just about everyone makes pointless posts and that's how it's always been. The issue is really with some people just being plain annoying. Right?!

In other words, uhhh.....stop..being..annoying? Hmm

[Tardumb]

....I really don't eat too much butter.

[~:''Carlo":~]

If I was going to search your first posts, would I find any posts like that...?

[Balrog of Moria]

Not at all...I was always a well behaved newbie bastard

[~:''Carlo":~]

no, I didn't meant you, the thread starter :)

[Balrog of Moria]

Damien all the way.

His 1st post

[~:''Carlo":~]

[IdahoMR2man]

Although, I really don't need to defend myself, my first post was in a battle thread and therefore completely relevant.

I like butter.

[Balrog of Moria]

Ive already established that

[Mr.Matinee]

I thought we established that we prefer margairne over butter?

[JBond]

Hey wait, I like butter better

[Balrog of Moria]

Im with Jibbs...Butter all the way

[AnotherAlias]

I think this might need a poll to get the complete consensus of the Margarine vs Butter issue.

[Mr.Matinee]

well,butter is healthier,but doesn't melt as quick as margarine..

[IdahoMR2man]

Butter sucks! And so do people who disagree!!!

[The Moose]

butter iS NOT healthier, as it contains saturated hydrocarbons. margarine tastes better, and is healthier.

trust me on the hydrocarbons. i do chemistry

[tedward]

three words people OLIVE OIL SPREAD.

[sphericthor]

I prefer butter myself
