I was just curious...

Kitsunae · Post by **Kitsunae** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 11:48 am

...if there was already a hello/welcome all newbs thread?

If not, why? (not trying to stasrt trouble, again just curious.)

I know quite a few forum boards I have been on in the past and am currently active in have this sticky thread.

I just feel akward starting to post stuff, with not knowing anyone, or vice versa.

Anyway, glad to be here, and I guess I will be throwing stuff up to trade soon enough!

Actually no, there isn't, at least not specifically. It makes an absurd level of sense.

I can't think why there isn't one beyond the rules post, now that you mention it.
I blame Eric. He usually points things like this out, so it's all his fault. (*points at MM and laughs*)

Welcome to Bartertown!

No offense taken.

I have to agree with Lin, no one ever really thought about it, I guess. And MM should have pointed it out by now!

Because its more fun to swim in the deep end without water wings?

I agree, its a good suggestion, and welcome to BT!

Who rules Bartertown?

MagickalMemories rules Bartertown!

Hey, Lin... I had an idea... We should have a forum where new traders can come in and post threads introducing themselves.

Then we can poke fun at them for random things.

Oh, and while you're at it, you could start a frigging forum for trading BITS!!!!!
I swear... with the amount of money we pay you people, I'd expect you to be just a bit more on the ball.

Lin, on a serious note (yes, I have those moments from time to time)...
Did you receive the email I sent to your BTown email address?

WELCOME NEWBIE!

Oh, wait... that isn't PC...

WELCOME NEWB!

Is that better?
See, I removed the stigma by taking the "ie" off of the end. Now it's no longer implying that he is a kid, or childish.
(At this point, I'd like to remind you that there IS an "ie" in MY screen name).

Eric

Actually...no...I can't say it. It's too easy.

You and your new forum ideas. Jeez.

Wanna talk about on the ball? You should have a look around before you start trying to

at me!

PC. All part of the insidious Gates Conspiracy. We deny your reality and substitute our own. So there.

Isn't it funny that a bits forum finally shows up and the first person to post is Lin!?

Lesson to new members: Lin works faster if you give him some incentive. Like his own personal gain.....or cookies. Everyone loves cookies.

Mmm...cookies...
Chocolate chip is the preferred cookie currency of choice. No tree nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc), I'm allergic.

Personal gain works well too.

Actually he is a she, but close enough, lol.

I figured you guys would figure out I'm a girl by my siggy.

And thank you for the warm welcome guys!!!

A GIRL!!!!.....who plays games????

I think my brain just 'sploded....

MM is allergic to girls, so don't ask him any questions.

Welcome to Bartertown!

And, if my Japanese mythology is up to par, the screen name is also the name of a fox spirit which is traditionally female as well.

But, uh, women aren't the only people who might like shopping at Louis-whatever-whatever. Just sayin'.

Correct. Dancing fox spirits, at that. Spelling's a tad different tho. KITSUNE are the Fox Spirits.

Because MM DIDN'T notice the Bits Trading Forum...

And to Kitsunae...WELCOME!

Shake your green butt (you really SHOULD wash that), shoot your ammo & crack that whip all you want... but it's interesting that the forum was NOT there until AFTER my most recent harassment. I looked for it before mentioning it.

Glad to see it, though. Thanks!

So, Kit... You're a girl, huh?

::wanders over by Kit::
Wanna go out? I have a big army.

LOL

JK.

Welcome to the group. If you can take being harassed, you'll get along fine here.

Sorry, Kit. I don't check Sig's a lot.
Besides, there ARE men who like to shop there.

So, what are you here to trade? Barbies & Hello Kitty, or ???....

LOL

Eric

How big is your army? *wink, wink*

Barbies, nope, lol.

More like Dark Angels and Tau, and maybe cool chaos bits to stick underneath my DA to make them look cooler!

Actually pretty much anything that catches my eye. I am thinking about starting a Tomb Kings army (might not play them, but I will paint them.), and I am a terrain making junkie!

In all honesty, I was tired of bidding on eBay an loosing last min due to me being at work or sleeping or playing golf. I was on a WH group on MySpace and someone recommended this site; so here I am.

Oh, and don't worry, I have a wicked sense of humor, and I am very sarcastic.

"I have a rapist wit!"

(For those of you that haven't seen the movie, sorry! It is a joke.)
