I hate when

people bash newcomers to the forums.

You were all newcomers once.

Most of them peter out anyway. The ones that stick around are usually worth talking to.

And, besides, you're a bunch of fucking hippies! Where's the goddamn love for your fellow man/dude/woman/womyn/transexual/asexual?

 

I don't see that that often around here really......

Used to see it more.

 

I like to believe theres only a small handfull that would give someone new a bad time , afterall...we dont want anyone to have a bad first impression of this place , and , we should keep up the image the Hip Forums projects with its Name alone.

 

yeah, i'm not a hippie... stupid noob

 

Asexual's really get me going.

 

I hate queers.


Seriously though, teasing the noobs a bit is more of a tradition than anything. It's like an older brother harmlessly teasing a younger brother.

No one is actually saying "Get the fuck out you n0000000b mothafucka!!!!111!!".

We're not 15.

 

it's a hazing ritual. it's a part of our vibe, it's what we do to make sure that the people who stick around do so with a thicker skin and higher tolerance for bullshit. it's a public service, really.

 

Yep, it also weeds out the stupid, even though that hasn't been working well lately. I think we should get meaner.




Anyhow, why are we listening to Smelly Socks, she's only been here for a couple of months... such a n00b!

 

what kinda place are we making here?!

 

also bashing popular people is WAY more fun anayways!

 

kc go away nobody wants you here!

 

that's been a given for 5 years. it's only contrary nature and desire to irk people that keeps me around.

 

ditto


actually no people want me!




one of the two...

 

Who bashes new people? I haven't really seen much of it on RT. Maybe a little teasing, but man, if someone brings a good new vibe or just enhances the old vibe, I leave them be. If you come in here acting like a tool and haven't rightly earned a douchebag status, then I may not be able to hold my tongue. Most of the tools on here have earned it, though, so, I just float harmoniously along with the flow of the keyboard. Or something deep like that.

 

Tool.

 

Tool's such a great word to use to describe someone. Then that gives them a large variety of actual things to choose to be. I, personally, would enjoy being a tire iron.

 

i find i make an excellent monkey wrench.

 

I suppose this would make Skip the toolbox. We're all inside of him....

 

haha. i'm a n00b, noone has bashed me! just some teasing every now and then; i don't really think it's a problem.

 

I don't think you really count much as a n00b after you reach 100 posts.
