The historic and original "Welcome new posters! Introduce yourselves here!" thread

Girl 6 · 23rd April 2003, 10:59 AM

This thread was getting rather long and several new Members have been put off posting because of its length. So we've started a new live thread for all new introductions (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=64023) and in future we'll keep that thread a more manageable and less off-putting size by regularly copying posts from there into here.

Posted By:Darat

Generally speaking, Diezel usually takes this on. But, he's been asleep at the wheel while I continue with my quest for world domination.

Anyway, I want to extend a warm welcome to the new posters to the board. I've noticed that we've had quite a few of them post already. But, if you wouldn't mind, please take this opportunity to introduce yourselves and tell us what lead you here. Also, don't pass up a chance to criticize the management.

It's nice to see the new faces and soon, the new avatars! Welcome everyone!!

I echo G6's welcome. As about 144 folks join each month, I think I can safely say that's gross.

And please don't forget the "new person dollar fee" where each new person sends one dollar to the forum administrator (Girl6, shut up...they are buying it...I'll be rich rich RICH)

We aim for insight, banter, great discussion, and learning. And donuts. We like donuts.

Rich?! Off 144 dollars a month? No wonder the JREF pays you peanuts, you have no idea what the value of money is!

I think Hal may be taking his historical charactet reenactment a bit too seriously! 144 dollars may have been "rich" a couple of hundred years or so ago!

$144/month??? What do they pay you in, hardtack and fatback?

Girl 6 · 23rd April 2003, 11:56 AM

Hey new posters! Don't let these jokers stop you from posting on this thread!

Who cares about Hal... I'm still waiting on the fishnets that were promised to me for doing this gig...

I guess I would be one of those new posters so I will introduce myself.

I go by the name Nyarlathotep (a name I've used since my pre-internet computer BBS days), but my real name is Ron. I am a (Currently very bored) computer programmer in the wilds of Nevada (actually Carson City)

I post occasionally and often lurk on alt.atheism and I think a link someone posted on that newsgroup lead me here (actually I think it lead me to another site that links here) several months ago. I've been lurking for quite a while but only recently have begun posting.

Anyway, I rather like this board and have begun to prefer spending my time here rather than alt.atheism because I find the, shall we say, "signal-to-noise" ratio to be much more to my liking

It will be nice to meet all of you

tim · 23rd April 2003, 11:59 AM

Hi New People!
Don't worry about some of the people who post here (no names mentioned, but see above). JREF have a contract with the US government that allows a small number of deranged people to leave messages here as part of their treatment.
DO NOT PANIC!
Go to the "user cp" button at the top of the page, press, then look for "edit ignore list" and follow the instructions.
Good luck!

arcticpenguin · 23rd April 2003, 12:57 PM

Welcome Nyarlathotep.

Your name spelled backwards is Petohtalrayn!

Torment · 23rd April 2003, 01:12 PM

I guess I will introduce myself as well.

I am Torment. I used to post at a different discussion board on a different site, and one day someone else who posted there regularly posted a link to here. (Darkcobra)

Long story short my previous board went to crap and became overwhelmed with idiocy, fad topics, and trolls.

I couldn't put up with it anymore and remembered how intelligent the people here had been in the topic DC had linked to so long ago.

I hope to add to the debates here, but I probably won't be getting too involved for awhile. Most of the people on this board seem to be on a whole different level intelligence wise as the people who post on my former board. I will actually have to think out my posts a lot more here if I want to keep up, which is fine by me.

Welcome! Don't worry about it, we don't think before we post.

Mr. Skinny · 23rd April 2003, 01:28 PM

Ya know Girl6, if you changed the title of this thread to "New members, introduce yourself here" (or something like that), you might get a better response.

I've already met everyone that's posted so far, with the exception of Torment.

Just a thought.

23rd April 2003, 01:31 PM

I guess I'm sort of new (been here a month? or so, don't post much). Just posting a lot more than usual today because I'm close to getting an avatar. Yay me. Usually I prefer reading and thinking here to actually writing much, as I tend to both read and write too quickly, which means I make mistakes or read something wrong (see peta topic for a prime example of that, LOL!)

I work for the government and it's pretty miserable. I don't even get a window.

Mr. Skinny · 23rd April 2003, 01:33 PM

I work for the government too GovtSlave. Basement office. No windows. At least I have an office to myself (with a door even).

23rd April 2003, 01:35 PM

You're lucky. I do, however, have some lovely maroon carpeting and pink/taupe cubicle walls to look at. In a shade found to reduce aggression.

Nyarlathotep · 23rd April 2003, 01:38 PM

I don't work for the governemnt, but the company I work for does all of it's business with local (mostly county) governments. And I get a window and my own office. HA!

The only time our place rocked recently, was when a 30mm armor piercing incendiary round escaped the firing range down the hill. It ended up in the tail light of someones parked car.

Skinny was not pleased with the folks down the hill.

23rd April 2003, 03:35 PM

Although I have already posted, I suppose I should introduce myself too.

I am Mrs Stig. I am new to the whole forum thing and I have been looking for a decent one to sign up to for a while. As I am a skeptic and since my husband spends so much time here, I thought I should check it out for myself.

23rd April 2003, 04:10 PM

Hi all

My name is Merrick, I been aware of the Forum here for quite a while, but only recently have had regular access to a computer.
Right now I'm just doing some temp work until I go back to school. Hopefully I'll be able to go to Columbia for film, but I don't think I'll be able to afford the tuition, unless of course my grants come through.
Other then wanting to go to school for acting/directing, I play way too many video & role-playing games, when I'm not reading of course.
So far I've really enjoyed all of the discussions here, and hope to contribute much more in the future.

Nyarlathotep is a sort of demon-god (it's kind of complicated if you have never read the books) from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. I have noticed a Kthulhu running around here too and tht name comes from the same source. THough in Lovecrafts books it's spelled Cthulhu.

American · 23rd April 2003, 06:23 PM

Why show yourself off? Isn't it more attractive to be a mystery to people.

Anyway, my goal is to show how retarded people can be, either by making an example of myself or by exhibiting any dufuses who achieve shameful fame.

I'll also offer kindly advice to suffering souls, though I know they won't often listen.

My third purpose is to gain recognition for admission to any of the more respected secret societies. Free Mason will do just fine, I don't need to go Majestic 12 just yet. (Then it would be Majestic 13... there's no need to ruffle feathers like that. I assume all kinds of secret members are reading this right now, biting their lips. PLEASE let me in. I totally won't tell anyone. I promise!)

If I find any other reason to stick around, then I'll be sure and let all the all of you know about it.

The only time our place rocked recently, was when a 30mm armor piercing incendiary round escaped the firing range down the hill. It ended up in the tail light of someones parked car. Skinny was not pleased with the folks down the hill.

Mrs Stig Guest Posts: n/a	Although I have already posted, I suppose I should introduce myself too. I am Mrs Stig. I am new to the whole forum thing and I have been looking for a decent one to sign up to for a while. As I am a skeptic and since my husband spends so much time here, I thought I should check it out for myself.

Zaidaco Guest Posts: n/a	Hi all My name is Merrick, I been aware of the Forum here for quite a while, but only recently have had regular access to a computer. Right now I'm just doing some temp work until I go back to school. Hopefully I'll be able to go to Columbia for film, but I don't think I'll be able to afford the tuition, unless of course my grants come through. Other then wanting to go to school for acting/directing, I play way too many video & role-playing games, when I'm not reading of course. So far I've really enjoyed all of the discussions here, and hope to contribute much more in the future.

The hotep part has me thinking ancient egypt. Nyarlathotep is a sort of demon-god (it's kind of complicated if you have never read the books) from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. I have noticed a Kthulhu running around here too and tht name comes from the same source. THough in Lovecrafts books it's spelled Cthulhu.
