Hi Deadman!
Nice to see you!
Please spread the word in the BGII Forum - we don't bite, anyone is welcome to come and visit.

It suddenly occurred to me that many newbies might misunderstand that we, like other boards have this thing against mindless chat and spamming
And a lot of them hang out in the BG2 and TOB boards..just take a look at the who's online every once in a while and you'll see names that you've never heard from..
We should start more newbie threads in the GD methinks..

The problem is that newbies in the GD section STOP being newbies very quickly (I've been registered for 8 days). I had less than 100 posts when I started this thread... 2 days ago. The newbies in the BG section are newbies for a while because there aren't so many things you can post an answer to.

Weell, when I was new, I checked the GD once, but the only thing that was discused was something like "Rugby, the game they play in heaven" and since I don't like rugby I never started to hang here
When I hade about 200 posts, I was bored like hell and thought I could check General again see if rugby was still a hot subject... it wasn't

Originally posted by Kaz: Something I noticed while browsing around the Baldurs Gate + TotSC section. Almost all the people who post there are newbies i havent seen anywhere else, while here in the General Discussions section you dont often see people with under 100 posts (Im an exception ). Are they afraid? Maybe one should put up a sign in the BG and BG II sections (among others) saying DON'T BE AFRAID TO COME TO THE GENERAL DISCUSSION SECTION WE DON'T BITE cause i think it is really fun here and these people are missing something.

Couldn't help dragging this up again! Isn't Kaz wicked cute?

I thought it was a bit ridiculous because now I have over 1000 posts... that was before I noticed that the post number updates itself
Aww... lookit the cute newbie (I'm allowed to say things like that because I'm talking about myself)
