How did poking come to sd.net?
Posted: 2002-11-11 01:30am
I can vaguely remember there being no poking, to suddenly poking becoming a tradition here in sd.net. Can anyone refresh my memory on how it started?

Brought over from SB.com, I would say.

Some of the new members got all high and mighty with their post counts and decided if they got poked on other boards, they would do it here. Don't worry, it'll stop once you hit a few thousand on your pc.

Brought over from SB.com. I really don't know why, it seems pretty silly to me.
*EDIT* Gotta agree with David about the new people though

I used to only deploy my puny mortal warning, but as poking spread I adapted it as well.

*chuckle* I remember when you, me and HDS were the few people in the SW only forum.

I was one of the first to poke n00bs, i think.

Prodding, poking and probing the n00b has a long and proud tradition on ASVS.
As does flaming and TGODing them until they cry and run away.
I always wondered why we hardly ever get new members there...

The trick on ASVS is to start posting very slowly and never announce your arrival. I managed to avoid all forms of greeting that way, though the fact that a few members already knew me helped.

I've done the same thing here. Kept nice and quite and stayed in the wings until my pc hit padawan. I've been here for a while but have very much remained guarded about my opinions. The sig says it all...The trick on ASVS is to start posting very slowly and never announce your arrival.

I remember someone saying we didn't do shit like that over here, so in spite of them (it was in a 'hi im a newbie from sb.com' thread) I poked the newb. So if there's any newbs I missed, *poke*.

I reverse it on you, since I have bveen graced with being here for a whole two months now. ^^ Whereas you, Shinova, have only been here a month, a week, and one day.
