Mmkay class.
Today we're going to discuss the FAQ.
If you're new here, RTFM! It's right up there at the top, between "search" and "log out", which are between "forums" and "edit account".
Read it. Live it.

Next, there's a matter of UBB codes.
Seems a number of n00bs have been posting url code without including text to link it, thereby leaving the default "evil 2". First off, there is a way to DISPLAY your comic in forums. If you read the little blue text to the left of your "post reply/new topic" entry form (this thingie where you write letters in!), you can actually learn how, too!
Doesn't that sound exciting and n00?

Finally, we all hate you because you're n00. Yes, some of us hide it better than others, but we do indeed hate you.
Don't worry, it doesn't usually last forever. Unless you're JrnymnNate or Bazilla.

Hrm, what else...
Oh, if you see a big red robot with a square head and yellow eyes, run. Don't fuck the donkies. It makes hair grow on your penis. Don't bug the webmaster (you will learn who it is eventually). Don't annoy the regs, or you're sure to be considered n00bie trash forever.

Okay, move along, nothing to see here.

Post #57849	link

DexX July 11, 2002 7:41 PM	Seriously, it is an almost imperceptible transition. One day you just are. It usually helps if you ignore the whole newbie thing and just relax, participate, and have fun.

LockeDown July 11, 2002 7:48 PM	Wow DexX, first time I see a post of yours where you don't insult someone, or deny yourself the opportunity so you can set one up.

Post #57854	link

DexX July 11, 2002 8:30 PM	Lockedown... uh... Have you been reading the forums at all? The insults earlier in this thread were obvious jokes. The last comment from me was an attempt to be serious and offer some friendly advice, which you then responded to with a genuine, non-humorous insult of your own. Damn, if you can't take a joke, there is no way you will survive on this site...

Good lord. You really liked Deep Rising? Blech! The special effects were pretty cool but were outweighed by the effects of a cheesy plot and bad acting. You've got to love it when a piece of seafood the size of Rhode Island decides to start eating ocean liners. The only redeeming quality of this movie was that Famke Janssen was wet throughout most of it.

You probably liked Dark City and Event Horizon, too, didn't you?

The worst actors are all eaten early. :) It has some great actions sequences, hilarious dialogue, a somewhat more complex plot than your average people-in-tight-spot-getting-eaten-one-by-one movie, and a really good cast. I rewatched my trusty old ex-rental on Friday, and it's still great fun. Come on, Gabe! The peanut scene! How could you hate it when it has the peanut scene!!!

Dark City is great. Event Horizon was enjoyable, but not particularly memorable.
