I was just looking back at some of my first posts when I first signed up. And wow I never knew how big a NOOB I was and pain in the arse. I am surprised I did not get banned! I will give you people examples [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

If you want to see more you will have to dig it up. ;)

Anybody has similar things to share?

BTW: Thanks Mem for being so tolerant. And thanks a bunch Glorfidel for being the first and last to welcome me. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Sythe 01-02-2005 04:31 AM

Did some more digging and glad I had sense enough to put spoilers.

Hivetyrant 01-02-2005 04:59 AM

lol, I just found my welcome thread [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I have been looking for that for quite a while :D Interesting read though... I hadnt even played BG!!!! :?

Sythe 01-02-2005 05:04 AM

Gah I am jealous! You had a bloody welcome committee with a red carpet!

Rikard T'Aranaxz 01-02-2005 05:22 AM

it is suffecient to tell you that if i were to quote my first couple of posts, it'd be deleted from this forum in no-time ^_^

Gangrell 01-02-2005 06:07 AM

This pains me, I really was a newb back in the day, so the beginnings of my humble roots will not be shown here today :D

I only got one welcome (thanks Mack Attack), no red carpets here so quit your complaining Sythe [img]tongue.gif[/img]

philip 01-02-2005 06:19 AM

I don't think it's my first post but it looks to be my first thread. ROFL how newie can you be:

Zuvio 01-02-2005 06:30 AM

Well, my arrival was covered in a nice blanket of superiority and astonishing intellect. Yes, one might even say that I single-handedly discovered the meanining of the universe and plotted out this wonderful formula for every mortal to see.

BEHOLD!!!

// A lot of ppl were kind enough to welcome me aboard, but somehow I totally ignored each and everyone of them. Sorry peeps and thanks for welcoming me!! (albeit 2 1/2 years too late, but who's counting :D [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Xen 01-02-2005 07:12 AM

I wish I could find my first thread but I can't. I remember tough that Sir Exxon helped me a lot on BG2 forums.

Hivetyrant 01-02-2005 07:26 AM

lol, I couldnt find much, but here are my two first threads.
number 1
number 2

lol, there are some funny old threads in there [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ivelliis 01-02-2005 08:05 AM

Here is my very first post, only a few months ago [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hivetyrant 01-02-2005 08:14 AM

Wow, I wish I could go back to those good old days, though I didnt post much and no-body knew me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Callum 01-02-2005 08:25 AM

I was a very shuy newb... I can remember that much [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Until I reregistered... in which case I wasn't much of a noob at all [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Vaskez 01-02-2005 09:02 AM

Hey, HiveTyrant, notice that I graciously didn't post in your welcome thread [img]tongue.gif[/img] That's a true Vaskez welcome [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And of course I was never a newb, I'll have to dig up my old threads to prove it :D

Excuses, excuses, I even dug mine up, but as I said, I didn't have such humble roots :D

Come on Vask, show us the evidence [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Froberg 01-02-2005 09:07 AM

Everyone has to start somewhere [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Vaskez 01-02-2005 09:29 AM

Ok as proof of my non-n00bness, here's my first thread:

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...=000740#000017
n00bs don't start out with such an excellent first thread :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

and the thread I got welcomed in:

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...=000839#000022

Hmm I did seem kind of hyperactive in those first posts, ROFL-ing at every opportunity. Well I've calmed down a bit I guess :D

I'm glad that you have sinced learned about punctuation ;)

Vaskez 01-02-2005 09:34 AM

heh yeah I noticed a few mistakes I wouldn't make now [img]tongue.gif[/img] But that thread reminded me of some great old dumb cop jokes I'd forgotten [img]smile.gif[/img]

Froberg 01-02-2005 09:47 AM

I have more fond memories of my forum time from 2000-2001 than more recent memories.

Seems the internet was a better place some years ago.. *sigh*

Jaradu 01-02-2005 10:08 AM

Hehe, seems you and Bleys were trying to out-do each other, Vaskez. ;)

hey cool i posted on those threads [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Stormymystic 01-02-2005 11:46 AM

well, I ended up getting two different welcomes :D one from TL in one of the gaming forums, and then one here in GD. I was a total newbie, kept making a new topic everytime I tried to reply to someone :D then there was the time DK was trying to teach me how to put an image in my sig, then turned into quiet a few other members too, because no matter how hard I tried, I could not get it right [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Q'alooaith 01-02-2005 11:52 AM

I can't find any of my earlyer posts..

shame.. But I'm pretty sure I was not very nooby at all..

TheGodThatFailed 01-02-2005 01:39 PM

Well, i understand that i myself, was fairly bad....But not quite Sythe :D

My first thread ever (it does look newbish and I was a newb at the time):

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...;f=15;t=003307

SecretMaster 01-02-2005 05:08 PM

Well I didn't touch the GD forum till at least post 500. Thats besides the point.

And looking back, I was a total @$$ on the roleplaying forum. If I could I'd slap myself for my idiocy.

And my first post was on how Irenicus was cheap.

Same goes for me, I really didn't know there were other forums aside from the SoA and ToB forums. Although I didn't enjoy my welcome to GD so much, Cloudy made me get rid of the William Wallace quotes out of my sig [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ladyzekke 01-02-2005 08:56 PM

Wish I could find my first post, but it being on the blueboard, it may not have been archived. It was on Nov. 28 2000 though, and I was asking how to beat Firkraag LOL. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Sir Degrader 01-02-2005 08:59 PM

I remember my first post... What is Spam?

If i recall correctly, it was in the BG2 forums. I asked how to defeat the Balor in the Underdark, which is what brought me to IW in the first place. I've been trying to defeat that creature for hours in a row, and finally i gave up and started looking for help on the internet.

Kakero 01-02-2005 09:38 PM

I was asking how to defeat Nessy in Wizardry 8 board. Many people gives their pointers which I have already done. Then someone tell me to use Superman potion. Glad I have asked. :D

T-D-C 01-02-2005 09:47 PM

My first post was in the BGII forums (did 3 posts that day)

I was asking for help in the underdark and with my MP game.

I have never once been treated like a noob on these forums.

armageddon272 01-02-2005 10:01 PM

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...;f=20;t=001931

A few months ago. I can't say my first thread is something to be proud of, I originally intended to just ask this question and never return, but IW hooked me.

Sir Goulum 01-02-2005 11:03 PM

I was fairly nooby. Here's some of my better early topics. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Winter Wolf 01-03-2005 05:22 AM

More of a "lurker" myself. I basically *know* I'm a horse's arse most of the time so I try to keep a low profile. First post was on Wiz 8 board to which I got one response. It wasn't super helpful but at least someone cared that much. ^__^

Here it is, your first post (I think...) Firsty!
