Makhnov! Welcome. How did you find us? Was it something hilarious via Google?

"How do I teach my Dachshund to pull a sleigh?" "Where is the best place to buy rocket fuel?"

The_Jazz · 11-19-2010, 06:56 AM

Hi there Jeremiah. You're the second Jeremiah I've met - one in real life and now one here. I will make no bullfrog jokes.

Hi, Makhnov. Welcome!

Akilla · 11-24-2010, 11:36 AM

Hello all, I'm new to this site and am hoping to meet new people

bagatelle · 12-01-2010, 08:06 AM

I joined here over a year ago, posted a while. Don't really "know" you, but I like reading well done posts in English to keep up with language skills and I'm hoping to be able to contribute.

Can anyone tell me, is this quote of 'long walks on the beach' taken from some book or movie, as I saw someone use it in another forum?

Hi there, Akilla and bagatelle. Welcome to the machine!

"Long walks on the beach" was a lyric in the old Pina Colada Song (and probably others), but it's been commonly used for ages in personal ads looking for mates and "things I love" in Playboy playmates profiles.

bagatelle · 12-03-2010, 04:04 AM

Thanks for the welcome and the explanation.

Could someone tell me, what's the idea in Suggested Thread Topics subforum?

Cynthetiq (One of Our Adminstrators) recently created this subforum so some of our resident members could possibly take the auto-generated news and subscribed articles that appear there, (they are being imported from RSS feeds, I believe, and posted as is) and create new thread topics for discussions as they see fit. You can pluck an interesting article you find from there, expand upon it, ask a few questions, and post it in Genereal Discussion to see if anyone bites.

It's an easy general news aggregator here at the TFP, is the basic way to describe it.

slumberinglotus · 12-05-2010, 08:37 AM

Hi. I'm new. I was google searching something and found this site. I was thinking maybe people could give me input too. I'm a bit

at the moment, doesn't help that I'm a bit under the weather at all so I am going to say hello here, rest a bit and try to figure out what to say next. I guess breaking the ice can be a hard and scary thing sometimes especially when you are questioning

but I am just me.

Jetée · 12-05-2010, 12:47 PM

Hello slumberinglotus.

I can relate. It took me a week at firrst to build enough courage to post even three times, and as a new member in a new setting, I always find myself a bit nervous due to my relative inexperience and inability to think of anything to say.

Here's hoping you come back and chip away some of that ice, until you have sufficiently warmed up to us. Enjoy looking around in the meantime.

slumberinglotus · 12-05-2010, 01:55 PM

Thank you Jetee for the welcome. I just... I guess I feel a bit like a lost soul and now... now I am just trying to find someone to point me in a good direction. The last cat I asked pointed all sorts of ways. Just to hear thoughts would be nice.

Hotmnkyluv · 12-05-2010, 04:46 PM

New guy here. I found you through the tapatalk iPhone app. Don't recall what my search criteria was.
Probably fetish...
Or maybe noodle...

slumberinglotus · 12-05-2010, 05:19 PM

Hi Monkey, I found this on the computer, I don't have an iphone.

Hotmnkyluv · 12-05-2010, 05:35 PM

That's okay Lotus, I'll let you be my token no iPhone friend...

Cynthetiq · 12-05-2010, 05:41 PM

dlish · 12-12-2010, 07:51 PM

redwolf, ive had a look at your profile and it doesnt seem that you've loaded your avatar.

i think you're mixing up your profile pic with your avatar.

to set up your avatar, go to User CP which should be in the top left hand corner of your page. Then on the LHS there should be a lift of edit options. Go to Settings and Options. In there you'll see Edit avatar. You can load your avatar there.

If you still cant do it, send me a PM and we'll get it sorted for you.

thedoc · 12-15-2010, 09:33 AM

Greatings, Salutations, and all the implied honorifics, Just signed up, but will browse awhile to get the feel of the place. One of my pet peeves is someone who joins a site and starts posting questions and answers without looking to see if it's been posted before, so I woun't do that. A bit about me I like Philosophy, Religion, Good music (the really really old oldies) Model railroading, high preformance cars, building things (a lot of different things). I take care of 3 of my grandchildren (ages 1, 5, 9,) 4 days a week, so time for other things is sometimes limited. I live on just over 2 acres in the woods, I don't have a lawn, or a lawn mower, I prefer it natural. I've been on a few other forums so I'm not new to discussion, just this site.

The_Jazz · 12-15-2010, 10:00 AM

Welcome, thedoc. I wonder if you're someone I pointed in this direction the other day. Regardless, I think you'll definitely find a few things here to catch your eye.

As for your pet peeve, I had a very similar one a few years ago. These days, though, if the thread hasn't been active in the last 30 days, I don't let it bother me - the sole exception being things that are in our Hall of Fame.

thedoc · 12-15-2010, 10:26 AM

Thankyou, I didn't find this site from anyone with your user I.D. I will look as I have time.

Regarding this, - there are, they are called responsabilities, which also go with rights.

The_Jazz · 12-15-2010, 10:36 AM

No problem, thedoc. I was at another site and mentioned this one to someone with a similar username to yours. Call it mistake identity.

And the 3 quotes in my signature are meant to be read together. Independently they convey a much different meaning than I intend.

Doejan · 12-16-2010, 06:46 PM

Hi all. I would like to introduce myself to the forum.

It's been quite a while since I've joined a message board but I found myself lurking for a few hours, intrigued by the discussions I have read here thus far. So intrigued in fact that I decided to become a member.

So again, hello...

The_Jazz · 12-16-2010, 06:50 PM

Hi there, Doejan. Don't worry about being the newest newbie. There'll be a spammer along momentarily to steal that from you.

We're glad that you took the plunge to sign up. And even more glad that you took the next step to introduce yourself. Hopefully you'll do more of that.

And again, hi there!

Hello everyone!

I am a mid thirties guy in eastern Kansas. I have two kids under 10 which alternate between wonderful and devil spawn.

I found Tilted Forum while randomly browsing the web and I was heartened to see actual *intelligent* well reasoned argument and conversation happening *on the web!* I had to join!

I am an engineer. I love playing with electricity. I also do quite a bit of modelling...usually of trains but I do planes and automobiles also!

The_Jazz · 12-20-2010, 10:36 AM

Hi there TheCrimsonGhost (you should check your private messages by the way). And hi vchris314. I think you'll find some interesting stuff around here.

thedoc · 12-20-2010, 05:26 PM

Hello vchris314, If you want to talk trains, I'll have a go. Among other things. I have also done cars and a few planes, but mostly Boats, or ships if you like.
