Hey. I'm relatively new here.
« on: June 08, 2008, 09:03:35 pm »
Uh, hey. I've been posting pieces for a month or so now I guess. Never really noticed the forums; browsing now and I figure it's the best course of action to at least make a topic. I learned about the site from a forum I'm a part of; I think it was TheMilkMan who posted the link there but I'm not entirely sure. He claimed though, so he got that.

Thanks to everyone who's been reading and voting me; I appreciate the time and effort it takes to get through a piece then stop and actually think about it enough to comment and vote. I need to start reading others' pieces more and voting/commenting; hopefully the summer will allow me the time to actually immerse myself within the community.

But yeah. I dig the site. It's good times.

Rules

1 - Watch out for TheMilkman

2 - Watch out for TheMilkmen

3 - Never confuse sold's gender (whatever it may be)

4 - Flattery will get you everywhere (see TheMilkman)

5 - British accents are fun to listen to

6 - Typographical errors are more common than makeouts (read: often)

6.5 - Don't worry about it.

7 - When in doubt say nothing. And then run.

8 - Bran is automatically funny. No questions asked.

9 - Syllables, contrary to popular belief, can in fact kill you.

10 - Never declare your sarcasm

11 - Words are sexual.

12 - Carmal soda is the #1 investion.

12.5 - Yes, investion

13 - It is best to make your screenname as obtuse and unpronounceable as possible (see rule 5)

14 - To compensate for his terribly prosaic name, Dan will consistently give every new person he meets a rather bizarre pseudonym. (i.e subliminiminal ---> tibiddo)

14.5 - Note that Dan is away on his tour of the foreign world, his quest being to collect all known syllables. Out of respect, no pseudonyms will be awarded during his absence.

15 - Don't too giggle hard when eating cookies. No matter what people may say, solid food can and will come out your nose and, when it does, it's painful.

16 - Anyone who complains about members quoting other members in their siggys will be quoted in a siggy. But only if it genuinely annoys them.

17 - Nothing can ever compare to the awesomeness (and hawtness) that is ironypills, hence the phrase "Well it's okay, but it's no ironypills"

18 - Ironypills is IF's resident memologist. She is the authority on all IndyFluency memes.

19 - All new users must be CLAIMED at first possible opportunity. The person who claims the most users is winning.

20 - This forum is for the sole purpose of training and expanding the IF armed forces. When neoeno deems the forces advanced enough, he will declare war on 4chan.

21 - NO CHILD PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

22 - Any rule which is a palindrome and also contains no 'e's is automatically true, unless it conflicts with any explicitly declared rule.

23 - Tell her bobman.

24 - Incretion, it's a religious experience!

These rules are subject to change at any time. All proposed rules will be accepted unless they are not.

No.... he just said that. We don't change the rules. We just add a new one.

Good to see you, Deacon. I don't think I've commented on your pieces but I've read and enjoyed a couple. Anyway, ignore the above posts. We have our traditions when it comes to welcoming newbies, and we sometimes get so caught up  in them that we forget to actually do the welcoming bit...but obey the rules. OR ELSE <ominous music>.

Okay, just a word of advice, if they have posted somthing, they've been claimed. If he/she had not been calimed, I would have.

Yeah, I'm a dude. Seems like a lot of women on this site, judging by the profiles I've seen, but I got no idea.

And Steely Dan is rockin'. New Walter Becker album just dropped actually.
