friends of the VB nebie thread

[BecauseIcan]

so did you look at this?

[Niya]

Look at what ?

[BecauseIcan]

Apparently this is the place to hash the organic matter..
"can't use the s**t word anymore it is not Politically Correct".

So if we want to just discuss our happening and interest or idea of direction I think they "the powers to be" want it done here.

[Niya]

lol wut ?

[Atheist]

I see your point and raise you a table.

[BecauseIcan]

I think it is nice to just talk and not worry about content.

[BecauseIcan]

So here I am today somewhere between sewing a bear paw quilt square and working on Review 7 form Home and learn. Sewing is my total stress reduction program can sometimes apply it's own stress. So where are you today?

[FunkyDexter]

Then you're going to fit right in to chit chat. None of us care about the content here.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I am not at a computer.

[BecauseIcan]

what's a signature??? Why can't I have one? Is that covered in the frenquently asked questions?

[dilettante]

Sure, but first you need to develop a flair for funky font colors and sizes to mix. Then you move to adding links to the 15 different "Hello World" quality programs you posted in the CodeBank. Finally find some annoying and irrelevant images to link to.

When it's done any thread you post in becomes so annoying and confusing to make sense of that people just go back to work instead of lingering here.

[BecauseIcan]

so first i post 15 annoying programs then i get some annoying image to link to???? So the Powers to be give me signature?

[Shaggy Hiker]

No, the 15 annoying programs are not a requirement. There may be some number of posts (chit-chat posts not counted) that you have to reach before you can edit your signature, and that might be in the FAQ section, but once you can, then you would do so in the User CP area. I believe dilettante was refering to people who make such extensive signatures that they completely obscure the actual post, and make navigating them painful. You will notice that he lacks a signature, and I almost do, too.

[BecauseIcan]

ok so what the title thing...Me Newbie I get but yours Loguacius User did you give that to yourself or is this another step in the game

[dclamp]

You have to defeat the dragon to get a custom user title.

"can't use the s**t word anymore it is not Politically Correct".

s**t stinks.

[BecauseIcan]

Now ou Remember y"can't use the s**t word anymore it is not Politically Correct"; one must use organic matter stinks... Who wants to fight a dragon anyway

[Shaggy Hiker]

You can set your own custom title once you get either 1024 or 2048 posts. I forget which it is, but I think it's the latter.

[BecauseIcan]

so suppose i have nothing to say but rather just hide and watch...I have to think of something stupid to make it count???

[Shaggy Hiker]

Well, it doesn't HAVE to be stupid, but yeah, you have to post in threads other than chit-chat. Of course, if the posts are just random junk, both the posts and you will end up being deleted.

[Bonker Gudd]

Boiled yeti

[Shaggy Hiker]

Well, it's a whole heckuva lot better than FRIED yeti!!!

[Niya]

Weirdos

[BecauseIcan]

Nothing like a good laugh...

[Shaggy Hiker]

Nothing like a good laugh...

Yeah, well, maybe someday we'll supply you with one.

[TheBigB]

This ain't no golden chair.
Give me the lamas, quick!

[Shaggy Hiker]

This ain't no disco!
This ain't no party!

...

Wait, you forgot those sneaky signatures that tell you what OS Version you have ("Is this guy really checking my computer? How is (s)he doing that?")

[BecauseIcan]

I though I told them what version I was using on my profile or somewhere like that I remember telling...

[BecauseIcan]

and why won't you go my homework...I hate doing dishes

[opus]

That would be in stage 2 or 3, I was speaking about stage 6 to 7!

[RobDog888]

Custom User Title is enabled after Power Poster level at 2048 posts

[BecauseIcan]

well I need to type more instead of just reading to find my answers. I thought one of the rules was do the search thing first? Really so far I have found most of my answers in the search. But I don't get credit for searching and finding.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Credit? Do you get credit for posting questions that a search would have answered?

It does bring up an interesting question. Even the rankest beginner (and some can be quite rank) will either learn enough to be answering questions or quit in frustration, long before they get 2000 posts. So, has anybody ever reached the Power Poster level by just asking questions?

[BecauseIcan]

I think I should get a frequent searcher reward say a few hundred points or something....

[RobDog888]

You would get more "credit" by correctly answering others questions.

Post replies to questions in technical forums with smilies n such and you could get labeled as a spammer or post***** which if not restrained or corrected could get you in to a not so good position with the mods lol

[BecauseIcan]

I don't believe I am good enough for that yet...maybe a math question I could

[BecauseIcan]

Really quite here today...all brains must be in overtime

[Hack]

More like timeout...

[BecauseIcan]

I don't like Time Out...
