If it's very well done, there will be much respect and admiration.

While two people will take the opposing position, resulting in 14 pages of slowly degerating arguement, counterarguement with a gradually increasing level of personal jibes resulting in a verbal shitstorm with the political, cultural and artistic value of a plastic bucket.

So i've heard.

It's hard being a newbie. I didn't feel too out of place when I first came here, b/c UT had just started the new version, and there were few posts to browse through. But when you come into an established community, it can be intimidating.

The Cellar, for the most part, is incredibly easy to get into. Why?

--The links at the bottom of every page. UT breaks it down real nice: What is the Cellar, its history, and the privacy policy.

--No registration necessary. You like to read, but don't feel a desire to post? Cool. I generally don't subscribe to a vBulletin joint unless it allows you to browse around. (Though I did register with El Saano...*shrugs*)

--Sure, there are plenty of inside jokes to go around...but it doesn't really take long to become an insider, IMO. A noobian should be able to come here to the Cellar, read a little, start posting, and feel like a member of our dysfunctional family.

And the most helpful tip I can give a noobian: Ask questions. Don't assume shit and post something that is going to make you look like a crackhead later. (For example, this thread)

I have to say that was one of the few old threads I've read that much of, I think I got all the way to page 5 before I lost interest in the argument.

Ah. Wow. That was a fun day.

It took me forever to figure out what "!=" meant too.

10-06-2002, 03:26 PM

Programming parlance. "Is not equal to."

elSicomoro · 10-06-2002, 03:42 PM

Well yeah, I figured that out finally last week.

Well... it's not a chat room, if that's what you mean.

I believe you'll find that, around here, the quantity and timeliness of the responses you receive will be proportionally inverse to the insipidity of your original post.
