To throw in my 2c, I've been lurking since July 2002 and just registered recently. I'm kind of shy, I suppose, and I'm scared posting here with the big guys, being younger but without a good grasp of science and logic like HelmockGrey or Alyrium Denryle do.

You can register and stilllurk, you know. Seems to work wonders on the poking,too (as it never happened to me). :wink:
And if one needs a good grasp of logic and science to be here, I guess I better be leaving... :P

Good question, because I don't have a clue too. It should be mentioned in the FAQ......

Oh....

Thank you. I think thats better then to count simply the posts, because then, people would flood the board with senseless posts to gain stars...

Alyrium knows his stuff. Hemlock not so much. Basically just learn from the people around here and you'll do fine.

I haven't been poked either. I feel so clean...

Poking is pretty dumb and it can get really annoying with the time.
Though being member #4, I've never had a problem with it.
The only ones who could have poked me would be Wong and Robert Treder.

My first post here was after several days of lurking in the board's first week, telling our first troll and banned member Sithgod to shut the hell up. So I basically just jumped right into debates and discussions.

I've kind of lost my edge since DarkStar was banned, but I'm as fiesty as ever. :mrgreen:

Never poked, not once. Why? I joined in the first week of course. Some day when another message board opens that is as cool as this one and people go there too, I will be one of the SD.Net Great Old Ones (as opposed to the ASVS variety). 'Till that day, rock on newbies. Don't let those pokes slow you down; always follow your dreamsand join SEGNOR!. See Anget Fisher's "hello" thread to see what happens to them.

BTW I am proud poker of newbies everywhere, and a few whiney cranks aren't going slow me down. Don't like the pokes? Stay out of the.....Pokanator!

I wasn't poked, the boad was new and people still didn't do that. The things I remember..

I remember the good old days, when spamroamed, free of care..
Before the evil known as moderators started killing it all.

I remember the first time I saw someonelinking to SA..
I remember having murderous instincts.

I was here when the donkey fuckers came..
And were hunted like the little vermin we all knew they were.

Memories..

Wrong. A poke is always a poke. You will always remain a newbie in my eyes.

Wow, a spamming newbie! Postcounts mean nothing, silly. You spam more, thus you have more posts. While my posts actually contribute to this board. :wink:

Also, I never lurked before joining up.
