Since we seem to be having the same type of issues with all the new members, I figured some of the older members could help out a bit.

Try to keep this reasonably serious and actually helpful. I'll be editing this down and making it a sticky, so common sense is key, ok guys?

1) We're glad you joined. HOWEVER, take the time to lurk a little bit and get the feel of the board. This place is an acquired taste, and has it's own twisted flow to it.

2) Do not join up and immediately start posting in every thread you see. Actually think about what you post. If you don't have anything meaningful to say, then it's ok to not respond.

3) Do NOT post whore to get into the Sex and Relationships section. The other members hate that, and the mods react quickly and angrily to it.

4) Don't get upset by what someone may say to you. It's just the internet, folks. Relax a bit.

5) Some members get very heated and very emotional about certain subjects on the board. If you don't like that type of discussion, you might want to avoid some of those topics.

6) Cutesy internet game threads (http://www.theforumlounge.com/your-favorite-singer-t11634.html) are not the type of thing we do around here. Please refrain.

Alright, anyone else?

LAWL! Understatment of the year!

I think you just about covered it all. Maybe a mandatory first post in the Smacktalk section to weed out people that get butthurt easily?

7) don't make fun of Canada or I will straight up kill you

This thread hurts my feelings.

Emo twat.

Vert's note to the n00bs...

-If you are female, do not flaunt your shit. Be prepared to be called out by Queen also.

-Tell us a little about yourself. The keyword is a little otherwise 95whitepep will find out where you live.

-Don't mind Ark. He hasn't had his maple syrup fix yet, eh?

-Czar is slightly retarded. He's good people though.

-Fear the M1 Tank.

-Zero talks tough but looks like Mr. Clean.

-I know I have a big nose and am a dirty stupid fucking Arab. All muslims are in fact Arab. If you disagree with this, then you are a mindless claptrap.

-Tofuball is probably the coolest person on this forum. I bug the shit out of him all day during my workday and he doesn't care.

-You have not had sex with the ugliest chicks on the forum. Not by a long shot.

-You are required to help Queen and I with our assignments as we are graduate students and thus higher on society's totem pole than you are.

-$100T2 drives a supercharged Pontiac so he fucking rules. And his son kicks ass, too. Don't mess with mini-$100T2.

-Revnrex smokes Marlboro reds. They will infact kill his cowboy ass.

-Supper looks like Farva from Super Troopers. Srs.

-We don't give a shit about your problem. Mine are more important.

-Find me a job.

Thank you n00bs and welcome. Oh...and post tits or GTFO.

Are you actually in school?

Smoking Lights and dippin Copenhagen now thank you.

Stickied.

Pretty good list, I'd say. I can't think of anything else that really needs to be added. And that member review was hilar. bigthumb:

-Czar is slightly retarded. He's good people though.

just slightly? yer being nice. im fully engaged retard, yo. but really, im a lazy writer (dear newb. notice i dont capitalize?)

Are you actually in school?

I graduated undergrad last year. I'm taking this year off before I start law school (next fall). I'm taking the LSAT soon though. That will determine what law school I get into. Anything I should specifically do before I am in hell for the next 3 years?

Smoking Lights and dippin Copenhagen now thank you.

I swallowed a wad of copenhagen once. You wanna talk about shitting fire...

Edit: Sorry it was Beechnut. :-\

Don't think I didn't notice that ninja edit, Kev.

Wait til you see me clean the thread up. :D

Where the hell is the pic of you on the broom when I need it.

7) don't make fun of Canada or I will straight up kill you

You guys make good cheap whiskeys. Not bad for a hat :bigthumb:

-Refrain from reporting posts. The mods are our friends, not yours.

-If you're a girl, and you make that known, be advised that we won't believe you until you post a picture with 'TFL' written on something.

-If you ignore YZF, soon enough, he'll just go away. This is the best way of dealing with him. He's just annoying, like locust(CWUTIDIDTHAR!?)

-We're not nice people. If you prance in here, asking how we are, and telling us how fantastic the world is, expect to be e-pummeled.

-Refrain from reporting posts. The mods are our friends, not yours.



That goes for all of you. Seriously. A board that has a smacktalk section has no need for a report button. If you hit the report button, I'm just going to tell you to put the person on ignore. The only time you should hit report is for spam.

-Make sure you drop by the Religion section, for some great flow of ideas and topics.

don't overuse smilies, especially the :owned: one.. only like 5% of the time when that thing is used has any actual ownage occurred

I've got an idea for a new rule... post count doesn't count towards the porn section from here on out... the only way in is to bake a cake, write something great about TFL on the cake with icing, then post pictures of the cake and you eating the cake.

What if they don't like cake? Could it be cornbread instead?

We should mandate that new members advertise somehow for the site.

He's a wizard, not a witch. That picture doesn't apply.

Ya Rly.

Reported.

thanks for the guide lines..im new to this forum, but not new to forums in general..this seems pretty close to my other ones in the way people act and things they say..

:owned:

Also, you should consider getting to know your local Craigslist hookers better.

New years resolution.

Thanks for the guide101, I'm sure it would help me while I'm around. Registered just now and find this cool. Lemme go digging deeper before I go on a posting rampage :P. Not much of a forum monkey, though I go to one other. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanx for the info....

is there a manual that comes with this???? J/K :40oz:

Some good to know info for newbies such as myself!

thank you got the info.

Where the fuck did these last few people come from ^^^?

Im gonna say they are spammers (with the exception of one of them) who just havent spammed yet.

i think the question (with the exception of 1) is where the fuck did they go????

Anywhere but here, most likely. lol

Just not going on enough on average to hold people's attentions for long, unless you like bitching about a select few and debating religion.

hi ya,ll just figured out how to post been awhile sinc have chatted anywhere and it was diff style then

welcome to TFL, tx

Interesting...smacktalking and assholes. My type of place.

Rocky Mount? Did Tofu bring you here?

Look, the last person I brought here was Vert, and we all know how well that worked out :P

No, Tofu didn't bring me here, boredom did.

But now that I'm here, entertain me.

I thought you were here to entertain us!
