The Place to Post Your Newbie Moments.

or the place to read them, if you happen to be a newb. ;)

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

The Place to Post Your Newbie Moments.

Post by Lee »

Here we can either post dumb posts we made when we were newbs, or share our funny misconceptions about the board way back when. :)

I remember, since this was my first message board ever, taking awhile to post in the "10 things about you" thread, and being mad that I didn't get any money afterwards! :p Apparently, I didn't read the rules before joining. ;) I also remember thinking that how many groups you were a part of determined how important you were. And I thought the Admins were too important for me to bother by PMing. :)

\:D/ Now you!

I remember beta testing the board with Shadowpaw and EB and Mellow before it was open to the public and playing with the money features. >_>

Oh, there are so many posts that I look back on now that sound so dumb. :P I was just 18 after all.... ;)

I used the word "angrified."

I am very ashamed... :cry:

I posted in topics that were over 2-3 years old.

Marv and Jelly sent me some PMs to put me back in my place \:D/

I don’t think that counts, since you would think you could trust the gender tag.

I think that happened to me once too. I didn't know what ditto meant until I was on a message board.

I express similar sentiments to those posted by the user above me. Not really, just using the old censor. :-
