Being a n00b again - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

KWSN · 04-19-2003, 05:58 AM

It's just so strange that just a week ago, I was #16 all-time on the posters list, with an avatar, and a title, and everything all iced-out, and now, there's nothing. Still, I am ready to make every post count on the way to getting back to where I once was. It'll be a long process, but I can't wait for the whole TFP community to get re-upped and make TFP v4 even better than the rest.

It looks BEAUTIFUL, by the way, Hal.

BoCo · 04-19-2003, 06:16 AM

I feel your pain, KWSN. I was well on the way to 5,000 posts, and now I'm at a miserable 3.

yangwar · 04-19-2003, 06:31 AM

It's like the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse. Just a handful of us, emerging from our shelters full of cans of spaghetti-o's, ready to repopulate this bleak, fresh world we have been given.

genka · 04-19-2003, 06:54 AM

And I don't even like spaghetti-o's....

bundy · 04-19-2003, 06:56 AM

i know the pain.

i was close to 3000 posts.

i love the apocalypse image yangwar.

Fly · 04-19-2003, 07:19 AM

just shy of 1200 myself.

it'll be fun to start over though.like a new life so to speak

bluearmy · 04-19-2003, 07:21 AM

I had only just started when the board went tits up, at least it gives the newbies like myself the chance to keep pace with the old pro's. Im not helping am I? I'll get me coat.

yournamehere · 04-19-2003, 07:39 AM

Well, I guess it's only fitting that one of the newest threads involves post count - won't be the last, either.

OK, OK - this is my 3rd.

And I <i>had</i> 600.

rockogre · 04-19-2003, 09:32 AM

I would have been here a year next month. I had over 1200 posts but it was that year thing that I was kind of proud of, and having an avatar.

Oh well, not the first thing that I have had to start over. On with the show.

MyFakeAccount · 04-19-2003, 11:01 AM

wow I was proud of my 60 posts but you guys make me look pathetic

SecretMethod70 · 04-19-2003, 11:50 AM

3000+ posts, a year in the making.....now it's 11 and less than an hour. Everyone's got to start over every now and then.

vermin · 04-19-2003, 12:03 PM

I think I had over 700, didn't pay that much attention.

merkerguitars · 04-19-2003, 12:36 PM

Hey at least the database of lurkers cleared out.....and now we all are pretty much startting around the same time...

sngx1275 · 04-19-2003, 12:45 PM

I lost all of probably 50 posts

.
This site is great, also going to be cool to watch you heavy posters climb up in post count.

FuddMan · 04-19-2003, 01:32 PM

Yangwar, the post-apocalyptic comparison was perfect

Drider_it · 04-19-2003, 01:49 PM

ahhhhhh I never got past being a nOOb... oh well.. just glad we are back from the void.

dachinster · 04-19-2003, 02:01 PM

well i guess im pretty much with u people.
i have 2 start all over again also.

funny.... i kinah like the squeaky clean feeling im getting.

just like the one u get when u deliberately format ur PC

uffjohn · 04-19-2003, 03:32 PM

nooooo I was 9 from 100

oh well

Joe Fnord · 04-19-2003, 03:43 PM

I was somewhere in the 100 range, so I wasn't exactly a powerposter, but it's still odd seeing these single and double post counts here, and all the naked headers (no titles, no avatars, etc).

So who's going to be first to avatar status (not including Hal, of course)?

kipperoo3 · 04-19-2003, 04:10 PM

I can see this as a good opportunity to make my presence more known than it was before. I believe that we all have something intellegent to say and we can all learn a great deal from each other - especially if we all start on the same page!

Chunkylover52 · 04-19-2003, 04:27 PM

I can feel your pain KWSN, i only had 150 posts but it still sux.

zfleebin · 04-19-2003, 04:32 PM

I dont remember my post count but its always sad to be a newB. Definitely dig this site and am very thankful that everything got fixed. Mad respect to the administrator for working his ass off and getting this back so quickly. it is definitely appreciated

mike2360 · 04-19-2003, 05:01 PM

I miss smiley the dncing head already. But hey, Only a few more posts to a thousand.

redrum · 04-19-2003, 07:29 PM

I think I had only made it to 73 posts, but none of them were spam. I just don't seem to have a comment on everything everyone says. I think its because Im not good with words.

CrotchrocketSlm · 04-19-2003, 09:30 PM

Hey, at least I now have a shot at being respectible from the beginning of a Board incarnation

Lebell · 04-19-2003, 11:40 PM

Being a noobie, like having an Avatar is all in your head, grasshoppa...

haha! and who said there is no such thing as do overs....

brknkybrd · 04-20-2003, 02:51 AM

I was a donor before the apocolypse... How do I donate money now?

I can't seem to find a link to donate -- I'd be happy to throw in a little something for the cause.

brknkybrd · 04-20-2003, 02:55 AM

Never mind, I just saw the post in General discussion...

Apologies for the slight hijack.

Ciall · 04-20-2003, 06:30 AM

I never stopped being a noob. I did have 80+ posts. At least now everyone's down to my pathetic level HAHAHA !

thingstodo · 04-20-2003, 08:04 AM

it's all a journey....

Gebbinn · 04-20-2003, 08:18 AM

I was a member for probably 3 months, only had a couple hundred posts, so I didnt lose a whole lot, but I dont mind

cdwonderful · 04-20-2003, 10:16 AM

I have lost it all!! Lamentations and remorse!
oh well what the heck

I was never that high on the posting scale, but I get what you mean. Its fun to take the opportunity to reinvent yourself, so to speak.

Welcome back everyone!

Jadey · 04-20-2003, 02:35 PM

I'm not even sure how many posts I had previously. I think I went over 1200 a couple of months ago. Oh well. And I never had an avatar, so I guess I'm not missing much.

Time to start anew!

wraithhibn · 04-20-2003, 02:59 PM

Lets kill all the n00bs! wait, im a n00b again....erase that last thought.

ismark · 04-20-2003, 03:52 PM

I am amazed, a new board and already a huge number of posts and members, glad to be back

bubbaspike · 04-20-2003, 04:28 PM

I'm just glad its backup.
You just don't know what you got till its gone.

BobDFish · 04-20-2003, 05:00 PM

It feels somehow strange to reminisce about the good old days . . . of last week. Somehow the nostalgia value just doesn't work quite the same. .

ols · 04-20-2003, 05:00 PM

ya, its great that its backed up. i was nearly to 200. oh well, it will be fun doing even more posting

The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
