For the Newbies!! Yes, that means You!
 
So you are new here and you wanna get your cherry popped? What’s the best way to go about it? Well, you could try to be yourself, and if that gets you flamed…slit your fucking wrist and call it a day.

We promise to love you in the morning.

A n00b should know a few things before starting out, though, and here are those things.

Using L33t speak will cause strangers to appear at your door with incendiary devices, and you will be flamed. And trust me, there ain’t no Colonel Sanders Original Recipe, it’s all extra fucking crispy.

Do not make your own thread. First, get a goddamn clue and see if there is one already made that consists of the gist of your *sic* original thought, and do yourself a flame retardant favor, and post your idea/thought/epiphany/brainfart there. Introductions are nice, and we welcome them. That’s why we have a perpetual thread for that very reason. It’s is called Introduce Your Self Here, and you can find it in the General section.

Introductions are nice, and we welcome them.

That’s why we have a perpetual forum for that very reason.

It’s called The Introduction Forum.

Please ONLY Introduce yourself in the Introduction Forum.!

Do not introduce yourself in the Literature section, the Movies and Games section, the Political Section, the Music section, the Whining Section, or the Fashion section. Do not make your own thread in any of those sections introducing yourself. Just use one brain cell, and the one thread that’s been created for you to introduce yourself.

Mmmkay?

Now, let’s cover some basics. You are probably wondering what Goth is, and want to ask others if they are as Goth as you? Well, no one is as Goth as you, so that’s a horse you’ll just have to fuck yourself. Yes, YOU are the GOTHEST of the GOTH, and that’s why after making your first post you’ll have a little tag that proclaims to the world that you are a Baby Goth.


On Writing, there are some really good books out there that teach you the fundamentals (if you slept through grade school) of writing, and I suggest picking up at least one of those up and reading the preface before posting your original work. We all, all of us, love a good yarn (especially of the macabre flavor) and really appreciate it when correct grammar and punctuation is used.

It’s. Not. That. Fucking. Hard. Really.

DO NOT harass, stalk, or otherwise annoy any of the other posters.

If you feel you have the right to make an ass of yourself, we have the right to make fun of you.

If you want to whine about how miserable your life is, there is a section just for that. It's called, amazingly enough, "Whining". If the reason you're whining is bullshit, though, we, again, reserve the right to make fun of you.

If you want to plug your new website, or the Goth ****** dresses you are selling then there is a section just for that. It's called "Shill".

Keep it there, please.

Logic! What a concept!

We have a place for your poetry and writing. It's in the "Literature" section. Yes, it was another brilliant stroke of logic, wasn't it?

If you think Manson is God and wish to talk about how Goth he is, we have a section for that. It's called MUSIC! If you are in a band,know someone who is in a band, or live near someone that thought about playing in a band once, THIS is your forum!


If you play World of Warcraft until your eyes bleed or want to argue about who makes the SICKEST exploitation films, VOILA a section for that as well. It is T.V, MOVIES and GAMES!

Finally, If you want to explore all of the Goth Gothiness that Hot Topic has to offer, please do so. In the FASHION forum!


Beyond that, Welcome to Hell and we hope you enjoy the show!

You forgot to mention that if they wanna whine about how the president's ruining their life, brainwashing them via tv commercials or is the reason they can't get a date, there's a forum called

Duh Duh DUH!!!!!

Politics

Just be able to back your shit up with facts or be able to debate intelligably or you'll become that icky stuff you find in fireplaces.

WolfMoon 03-25-2005 02:52 PM

Once more for any ASSCLOWNS that can't get it through their heads:Introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself >HERE< " thread!!!

Do not send private messages to people you don't know,especailly if it's only to say,"Hi! I'm new!",follow the rules and you-too can live life with an uncharred ass!

The Minister Saint-Fond 10-22-2005 08:48 PM

There's some hostility here.

Your lack of tact amazes me. But thanks for the tips anyway.

Now to my fellow "n00bs". Usually -if you're not a complete virgin to the gothic scene- it's easier to just add a comment to a thread that interests you (if you actually know something about it). Your status on this forum has nothing to do with your ability to not make a complete and utter fool of yourself. If that is beyond your scope of understanding :rolls eyes:, do what she said.

No offence lol, but weren't you being just a tiny bit harsh? We're not all idiots. (I hope...)

Lucifer's Lady 10-25-2005 05:30 AM

What rules? Explain please, my ignorance is torturing me.

Empty_Purple_Stars 10-25-2005 10:42 PM

And for the record..

I didn't write the Newbie thread for the most part...

Two of our beloved Elder members did..


You can waste your pathetic evening trying to figure out which parts..

And maybe just MAYBE there IS a REASON, why that thread was written EXACTLY the way it was written...

Wow.. A Concept..


Do you always go somewhere new and IMMEDIATELY proceed to give advice about things and people you know nothing about?



Observational Learning is your FRIEND!!!

Lucifer's Lady 10-31-2005 05:20 AM

Yes it is. This isn't the first Gothic forum I've been on. I never give advice unless I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Ravenology 11-05-2005 04:52 PM

I really dont know what im doing here... im totally new and i dont use froums much...

Ravenology 11-05-2005 04:53 PM

**forums oops

IlGato_DiDiablo 11-25-2005 04:47 AM

I'm new here. I could still talk if I want to and give advice, i dont need to be known or anything. But i would like to talk to people that no shit about Goth cuz were I am in the world, they dont no shit. People in this country are too fucking full of themselves and i would enjoy killing them. I got arrested 4 times cuz of the way I dress...

rockandrose 11-25-2005 05:32 AM

I have never heard of anyone being arrested for the way they dressed.

MrMaelstrom 11-26-2005 11:21 AM

Rose, unless he happens to be bullshiting, have you checked location on his avatar? Dubai - The United Arab Emirates.

torn92 11-26-2005 03:49 PM

I've read.. and yet I'm still confused.

Yeah i live there and have been living there for the past year now. Its a she just to let you no, i did get arrested for that 4 times cuz its a muslim country. U have to have an ID to buy a pack of smokes. I dont no anything about Islam except for the damned holy month or Ramadan or some shit like that. And the only reason they stopped me 4 times is because they thought i was satanic and causing problems, some arab shits complained about the place where most of the goths and punks hang out at and they didnt see anyone walking out except me and 3 friends. We spent 3 hours there everytime we got stopped.

IlGato_DiDiablo 11-27-2005 06:47 AM

I hate it out there, it gets shittier every month. Cops are everywhere you go, on ever corner of every street, behind and u wont even notice. Same problem happened with my brother, some ppl just like to make problems for others that actually mind their own business. I find that disgusting...

Beautiful Scars 12-07-2005 02:52 AM

hi. u're right, there is no goth community in UAE at all and that really sucks. i go to UK once a yr so i can feel at home between the other goths especially in the whitby gothic festival. i live in Dubai also but i've never been arrested for the way i dress, nor did my friends and i've never heard of a case like that. its weird that u had to go through that.

Shadowed Aegis 12-07-2005 03:11 AM

Hi there Beautiful Scars. Just a heads up, you might want to introduce yourself in the Introduction Thread instead of here.

Mr.Brownstone 12-11-2005 12:49 PM

Might this be better on the general forum? It is the first forum on the list, and therefore the one that will be visited first (most likely)

Count_Lyne 12-14-2005 01:46 AM

Hello, I'm half-new here... I explored this site awhile back, and decided to become a member. I can only hope for everyone to forgive my "out-bursts" when I first ventured into these forums, and ofcourse... no more shit from me.

Blushing Heliophobe 12-14-2005 01:52 AM

A for effort, but the appropriate "Introduction" thread is in the General Section.
