Remember When You Were a Newb

Post by Taq »

Quote your first ToO and TH (if applicable) posts and comment! How did you begin, and how were you greeted?
Itaque, in her first post at the TH, wrote:Hey, all! This is my first time posting at the TH, but I've frequented it for a little while now. Let me just say that I am very much excited to be in the presence of fellow AiO lovers. I know you all will make me feel welcome. ;)
Pretty boring. Notable replies: "errr...hio" by EK and Jared stopping by to explain the Latin.
Itaque, in her first post at the ToO right here in HH, wrote:Yesssss! I have reached the milestone of exactly one post. Hurrah!
Weird. Notable replies: "woohoo great acomplishment :^o" by EK with Jonathan chiding EK for not seeing "the humor in his remark".

How do you figure out your first post? I've tried looking at all my posts and than going to the very last page, but that's just my post in the "deadest" thread... :-s

Yeah, my first ever post on the TH apparently was in the middle of a dating debate or something... which seems odd. :-s

"Guys I was wondering if you've seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? How is it, I'm going to see it some time soon? Just wondering if it's worth watching? Thanks" Well that's my first post on thetoo. :shock:

Here's mine!
http://www.thetoo.com/viewtopic.php?p=263454#263454

"Helloo out there. I'm making my "I'm new" announcement. I was a lurker, but finally jumped on board. Thanks for the nice people who have already greeted me.
That's all I'm going to say now... :noway: maybe I will reveal more later? (Trying to be sneaky but not succeeding)"


Back when I tried to have an apostrophe in my name but it didn't work and Corey had to change it for me. I'm still sad about it :(

The thing about me, I don't like to join message boards just for the sake of joining them. I'll join if there's something I want to add to a conversation. So, I'll become a member, say what I want to say, and if I like the message board, I'll stick around. That said, here is my first post!

My first post on the ToO! \:D/
Catspaw's first ToO post wrote:I must agree that this is a cool idea! The only problem is that it's the kind of thing that I'll want to spend lots of time doing, and right now I don't have tons of time. Oh, well - who needs sleep anyway? :D
A fairly dull and commonplace entrance.

My first post on the TH! \:D/
Catspaw's first post on the TH wrote:I think that Jared is a great character! He's still funny now, but he has more depth than before - he helped Mandy and Liz resolve their conflict, and his conspiracy theories are less wild now. (For the most part, anyway!) In my opinion, he's fun to listen to. Long live Jared!
Nothing too exciting...but nobody responded to my post, and I thought that everybody probably hated me. :( Not that I was oversensitive or anything... ;) It's always interesting looking at old posts!

I try not to go back and look at my old posts, because I was rather inadept (is that a word?) at conversing via posts. ;) But anyway...
First TH Post...as far as I know wrote:Hi everyone! I'm a complete newbie here. I know quite a bit about it though... I've been coming in for a while and reading some of the topics... hope no one minds--- Well, I thought I'd just drop in to say hi and that I'm glad to be here!
Blah. :anxious:
First ToO Post wrote:Ohh, the old HH......I remember when I had the highest post count there...and then I faded out of existence. It was fun while it lasted.....
That wasn't so bad...but posts a little after that were.... ;)

My first post, my first three posts, were about what are your favorite ice-creams. Real noobish. Ugh

My first post was in City Hall, some thread about the bank robbery. (I didn't know to look at the time/date to not reply. :anxious: )

Which, by the way, was the correct answer!

Didn't I just imply in another thread that I follow rules? I don't think I ever posted a "Hello, I'm new" in "Welcome/Goodbye"! :oops:
