Hey Noob here!

Hi, I was just browsing your picture archives and thought I'd join your site.

Yay!

Great to be here!

Nic, you wanna address this one?

I don't know UT, Perth has that piece of ash leaning against his bedroom wall, maybe its time for him to wield it.

Wait...I don't get it, did I do something wrong?

Undertoad · 10-04-2002, 09:42 PM

Long-term studies have shown that 95% of users who post a promotional link on the first post are spammers or other types of losers.

But that's cool! All you need to do to redeem yourself is to post a thoughtful reply to a thread other than this one.

Undertoad · 10-04-2002, 09:43 PM

^ And you did! Even before I finished composing my message.

Welcome to the Cellar, friend.

XAB · 10-04-2002, 09:45 PM

I posted in the Entertainment thread--sorry, I didn't mean to post the link like I was spamming. My apologies, I just thought that since the some of the forums on your sites were sort of similar, you'd enjoy looking at there too.

My apologies once again.

Nic Name · 10-04-2002, 09:46 PM

Let that be a lesson .. to me.

XAB, I see you have met Nic the Neck, our resident hitman.

Welcome aboard.

To promote a similar forum site in your first post is like showing up uninvited to a party at a neighbor's house and inviting all his guests over to your place for a similar good time.

There's nothing wrong with letting us all in on another good site, but the recommendation has more value once we know who's giving it and if they are in any way affiliated with the site.

If one is affiliated with the site, there's nothing wrong with including a link as your homepage in your user profile. The folks around here will usually check out the homepages of noobs who have something interesting to say in the threads.

[disclaimer: my homepage link is just a joke] :p

If you have a really, really, cool homepage and are bold as brass you could even put a link to your own website in your sig. But it better be worthwhile or there might be some criticism. If it's very well done, there will be much respect and admiration.

XAB · 10-04-2002, 10:03 PM

Roger that, sir.

Aslan · 10-05-2002, 11:58 PM

As a fellow N00b, I'm taking notes.

I guess it's a good thing I don't have a website to promote.

Hi everyone!

Nic Name · 10-06-2002, 12:29 AM

This isn't a place to take notes ... it's a place to make notes.

Nic Name · 10-06-2002, 12:31 AM

Oh ... hi.

I'm new here, too.
