What's with the arbitrary redness? Especially the large mass of text somewhere in the middle? If you must highlight, choose some other, less annoying colour.

Couldn't this also be chopped up into smaller, singular posts, that a first post in a thread could link to? As it is now, it's quite unreadable and unsearchable.

Nice post congrats

*Attempts to look innocent*
Thank you from all us poor lost newbs...

Yeah, it could use divvying up and made more search friendly. I suppose you could see the stickied profile and pic threads for examples.

Oh..I'm sure it's been mentioned but..always cite your source, and before posting something based on some source, consider said source. The internet is full of valid information, as well as a lot of false information being presented as legitimate knowledge.

What's with the arbitrary redness? Especially the large mass of text somewhere in the middle? If you must highlight, choose some other, less annoying colour.The highlighting is my additions to PM's original post. However, when I want to add something of my own I don't bother highlighting at all.

The large red area, on the other hand, was a mistake, and it's now fixed. :)

Never thought of that. Sorry. It's a bit too late now, unless I start a whole other thread. :(

Thank you all so much for putting your time into creating the thread I needed so badly. Now I feel ready to join in the million plus nations on this site, and not make a fool of myself.

Kudos also go out to the mods. I've been one for four years on another RPG site, and it's no cakewalk. Even though I'm a new person here, my advice for any RPG nOOB is never piss them off. ;)

Dude, Mods like the Who. The Who rock! Pinball WIZARD!!!!
Great post though.

Dude, Mods like the Who. The Who rock! Pinball WIZARD!!!!What?

Time for a timely restoration to the front page, aka a bump.

Please everyone, bump this thread regularly so it isn't lost in the back dregs of the General forum...

What?
Your post knocked Mods, the 1960's subculture, and I just felt like being trivially spiteful, so I claimed that a Mod band rocked, and that pinball wizard by the who is the awesomest song ever.

Your post knocked Mods, the 1960's subculture, and I just felt like being trivially spiteful, so I claimed that a Mod band rocked, and that pinball wizard by the who is the awesomest song ever.Normally when people talk about "mods" over here they mean people like The Hack and not The Who, okay?

EDIT: I realize you were making a joke, but I like poking fun at bad jokes. :p

This needs a *bump*.

I suggest scrapping it and replacing every word with "buttsecks."

Or at least a catchy statement to welcome them in.

"Come on in! The flame is warm!" ;)

*Thinks about smacking Colodia*

How about:
Welcome to Nation States, avoid all Nations larger than yourself for at least three to four months.

Nationstates, where newbs become colonies overnight.

Well I could have put a lot of false information and linked the threads to all kinds of spam and things, but I didn't. And why? Because I'm a nice, honest person, unlike you jokers. :p

(Note to newbies: Don't do this until you're old enough.)

Hah.

Who said I wasn't being honest? Avoiding II until your a few months old is (or was) highly reccommended (...small nations would get invaded every day out there...Of course since the end of Bisons and his ilk over time newb hunting sort of went out of style. Along with puppet selling)

Really were is the 10 things not to do as a Newb list? They do one wrong thing around here and wham out comes the hammers and ignore cannons.

Really were is the 10 things not to do as a Newb list? They do one wrong thing around here and wham out comes the hammers and ignore cannons.I'm waiting for people to compile that list. One of them is using the offensive smilies ( :sniper:, :mp5:, :gundge: especially), that I know. The rest *shrugs* I'm no II frequenter.

I thought I told you guys... bump this often! I can't be online all day, you know!

Bump, again.

Bumperific.

Bump again.

Is anyone going to read this, or should I just let it die?

I was actually about to bump this. Frankly, I'd like to see it stickied, as I really do believe it'd be helpful. I just can't think of anything further to add right now.

And it might have been stickied, if you people bumped it when the mods were actually online!

I had the intention to.

I like this thread, it's more player friendly.

Yeah, true..but it's also frustrating because I actually wanna help with this. :p Well..I already have, but still..Look! A distraction!

..Oops?

I had the intention to. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." ~Proverb

I like this thread, it's more player friendly.That's the intention, of course.

((More friendly than what, btw?))

Than the stickied version, IMO.

Than the stickied version, IMO.There's a stickied version of this? Where?

((There's the "General Forum rulings and good General advice" thread, also the One-Stop Rules Shop...both impersonal and without the mods' personality in it. Which sucks. I mean, none of the stickies seem to have any humanity in them!))

just as long as its just sticky and not messy... (and everyone agrees first :-) )

but there are some of us who were unfortunate enough to see things like t**g**l, l***np***y and g****e... or as they could be described - yellow, green and red.

No really, it's better that we don't mention them. Because then, newbies might google the terms, and we don't want that to happen. :(

Am I the ONLY one that's not bothered by them? And, 'sides, they're a DOS if someone decideds to google them and post the pics saying, "Look what I found!".

that is why they are starred out... bit difficult to guess what i mean if you dont already know...

and i saw one of them at age 13... put me off surfing for 6 months... humm... i guess that means some of those pics are quite old now...

they dont bother me *now*... but they once did... After doing biomedical sciences - majoring in human pathology i have seen far far worse things...

You saw one at 13? By mistake or what? That must have been rather affecting. I could never give up surfing for one month, let alone six. :eek:

it was back when posting those sorts of things was done as a matter of course on fora to scare off the newbies... which i was then...

but it was only l***np***y which is the least offensive IMO... it was also before schools did things like netnanny so there were no other repercussions from it.

Legless Pirates was shocked.That one must have been pretty bad in that case! :D

No idea of what that is....

So Czardas im guessing you dont want to see the G*A**E Smilie? :D

So Czardas im guessing you dont want to see the G*A**E Smilie? :DNot really. After all, there are young people around here (points to Colodia), and anyway I'm kind of tired at the moment.

You know Czardas you could use this as a good example of not what to do on NS.-go off topic somewhat.-mind you this is on topic....

Ha HA!
You know Czardas you could use this as a good example of not what to do on NS.-go off topic somewhat.-mind you this is on topic....Yeah.... I'll make a split request anyway on Moderation though...

Colodia, I'll add the piece about you. :p

but this is a far better "sort of on but off topic" than the last one... dont you agree?

I suggest scrapping it and replacing every word with "buttsecks."

Or at least a catchy statement to welcome them in.

"Come on in! The flame is warm!" ;)

Wow... Colodia's becoming the next generation of Lunatic Goofballs.

As far as bumps on this thread, lets hope the mods notice and sticky it.

but this is a far better "sort of on but off topic" than the last one... dont you agree?Yeah, PM's went way off topic. This one at least talks about a related subject (obscenity). But I've requested a split anyhow, to keep this clean and pure for newbies (and who knows, maybe the mod who checks out the link will sticky it, eliminating the need to bump!).

Wow... Colodia's becoming the next generation of Lunatic Goofballs.

As far as bumps on this thread, lets hope the mods notice and sticky it.We've been hoping this for the last 73 posts. :rolleyes:

You see Czardas, I am perfection. My only former imperfection was that there was only one "perfect" me. So I made more.
