A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.

I have one recommendation: leave while you still can.

Lurk for ~4 years until they're Mythic and then join a certain private group.


Like you didn't have my respect already...

My advice: if the thought crosses your mind that it may be a bad idea, it is. Don't post it.

It's perspective. Something that you think is really funny could be something that I find just stupid and annoying.

Usually, a new member will go straight to The Flood and make pointless threads such as polls.


I would guess that most people who come to this site don't jump right to the off-topic board. They probably came here to talk about the games and end up here or the game forums.

Most of the people who make pointless threads have been here for awhile. ;)

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Just because it's called the Universe Forum doesn't mean you can talk about anything in the Universe. It is for CANONICAL discussion only, not whether you like the Sword better in Halo 3.

Dont post just to post. Dont make threads just to make threads. Spamming the forums with BS threads just annoys the veterans. Posting BS and then trying to cover your ass by saying please and thankyou at the end also is lame sauce.

1. Play nice. Don't be a jerk.
2. Consult Duardo's FAQ if unsure of something. If your question is not answered in the FAQ, pester Duardo consulting "why?"
3. Don't feed bad trolls. Feeding Achilles is fine, though.

Whoo.

1. Don't kiss ass, no one likes a kiss ass.
2. Don't spam memes from before your time, using one once and a while when it's appropriate is alright, but saying something like "Yeah like Foman's mom last night!" every three posts although you've only been here a week is going to piss some people off.
3. Posting isn't some magical gift to you that you must abuse to it's full potential until it gets taken away, only post when it adds something to the discussion, don't just post for the sake of posting.
4. Don't repeatedly link a video/image/etc, it might have been funny the first few times but after the hundredth time it gets rather tiresome.
5. Think about the content of a thread you are creating, don't create threads just because you want to fill up your seven thread a day quota, chances are you won't have more than two good thread ideas in a day anyway.


Huh, that's wierd, all my tips seem to apply to SKen ... I didn't even intend that.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Talk about Halo in the Halo Game Forums ONLY.

Be good.
Lolyeah, that's The only tip you could possibly give to a new member.

This thread has been very informative. I'm still pretty new here, and I'm still learning the ropes. Any more tips, guys?

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

You have no rights. Play nice.

Just wondering, you guys have any tips for new members? What forums would you recommend to the newest users?

I'd more than likely direct new members to private groups to 'test the waters' so to speak. Big tip; Don't quote someone just to quote them [Employees, Mods, Mythics]. Contribute to conversation rather than just posting silly pictures that derail threads ;)
Join a private group and contribute there.
