Hi. I'm a college student in New York City. Seems like an extremely active forum here. It's only my second time I've joined any forum. The other one was much small than this one. Please be gentle.

We are always gentle....at first...heh


Welcome to the boards

found this site at work when I was bored. Laughed loads and winced at the sexuality history! There's some funny, charming, nice and some sick sadistic, heartless people out there.
Don't know if I'll post much, depends what is being asked.
I'm from the UK and am in my 30's. A man for sure.

Hey everyone,
i was referred to this site. Just exploring it now and i gotta say it looks pretty interesting.

Welome to you both Mr_Honest and pyreglow.....we hope you enjoy this place

It is definately....different

My name's Mike. I'm an easy going guy. I just recently decided to contribute to this forum (I had an account for a while but never really visited.) After going through pages of posts, I said, Hey, the people at this forum are friendly so I'm going to join the community.

I'm a 24 year old guy and live in the ATL. I wonder if referring to it as "the ATL" makes me pretentious? I guess time will tell :)

n00b:me
 

welcome to you all....likely you will find quite a bit to your liking here.....even with the mental cases we draw in, heh

Yes, Mike, we are very friendly. And fun, too. Just watch out for our welcome wagon Tecoyah (just kidding, Tec- you know I love ya!).

And handsolow, I don't think saying the ATL makes you pretentious, but then again, I really don't know what you are referring to. Maybe that makes me slow?

Big Bear, I don't know what you are drinking, but save some for me!

Welcome everyone! Have fun and try to clean up after yourselves a little. I hate cleaning up after parties.

Greetings, I'm a newbie... wow, I've never actually used that line before. It felt rather strange... but yeah, I'm just me and Imspiffy...

welcome to the board imspiffy :D

newbie is an odd word isn't it? Anyway, enjoy the forum and have fun!

PhlintRock! uhhhh hello?
 

So I'm new to this forum but everyone here looks so nice I already feel at home. There is no short explanation to me and my life but ill try. I have 5 kids and we all to karate. umm there is much more but for now it is enough.

hi! i was looking for some spanish slang words when I stumbled upon this site. gotta say the responses urged me to sign up and join in.:D see you guys around...

Hi Everyone!!!

Peapod here :thumbsup:.

I am from Southern California and looking to make some friends on this site.

Welcome PhlintRock, emang, and Peapod! Hope you all enjoy the board :thumbsup:

I am new here, I found this place by accident while I was googling and I decided to join...

I just wanted to say "hello" : )

c u

well then....Hello and welcome Dejavu....enjoy the community

So is this title a new thread? "hybrid tree-linear view"???
 

Can someone explain to me why this interface is as good as, for example the Google Groups interface (after you select "view as tree" and "show title only")

I see there is a claim that using some kind of "option" I can view threads as trees and then even "hybrid" view as a combination of "tree" and "linear".

But I dont see anything to click on that looks like what this claim is.

Granted the Google Gorups ( ie old Usenet) GUI gets complicated when 20 or more people are replying to other people on the thread at times ranging over several days or weeks. Though usually the people replying are doing so within the same day before the thread replies go some where else... so the chronology of the conversation is usually not too difficult until replies get over fifty or so.

SO MY QUESTION I GUESS IS:
Does anyone know what is meant by the claim in the TF FAQ that there are options for viewing threads like trees or "hybrids of tree and linear"
All I see is one long linear list with a reply button at the very top of the list... I cant even see a way to reply to one specific person in this list on a thread.

petshowOT ("na man gonna jam?)

You can change it either in your User CP under Options, or change it in the thread under 'display modes' in the top-right corner of the thread.

however, I'm guessing that 99% of the people use and are used to the default linear mode.

If you want to reply to a specific person, just use the 'quote' button :)

Hiya - just a quick hello and introduction to the board. I'd been feeling a little lost and lonely since my previous boards faded from existence - a little sad I know, but I find that message boards can be some of the best ways to discover new things, new ideas, and to express oneself. A friend of mine mentionned that tilted was her favourite place of all time, and so I find myself here. I have no idea what her s/n is here, I know her as clipsey, but I'll try to hunt her down soon enough.

I'm looking forward to shooting the shit with people here, discussing anything and everything from philosophy to pop-culture (and especially where the two intersect).

-edit- I'm used to being the old-hand, it feels like a long time since I was last a n00b, so this will definitely be a little bit of culture-shock...

We dont really do the nOOb thing here.....titles having little to do with who you are....so, Welcome Markboy.

Have a great stay.

My name is Cassy. This is my first visit to TFP. Seems like an awesome idea/site. :thumbsup:

If you want to know anything about me, ask away.

hello
 

hey I'm Tom I'm new to this and am interested to see and hear varied opinions.

Welcome cassy and tom! I look forward to reading more from the both of you. Enjoy your stay!

Meet me.
 

Not entirely sure how to use this forum yet, but this seems like it'll do the trick.

Since I've just joined now, I'm likely to be the newest member of this here forum.
I've never used an online forum thing before, but it seems like a really good idea.

I was going to ask if there is a place to post my own written works as I bleed my creative self dry, and then I noticed Tilted Literature, so I can only assume I've already found my niche. I'll be sure to explore the rest though.

This was supposed to be an Introduction I believe, so here goes. You can call me either benny or stone, or ben or stoner, or veneno mortal or stoned. All pretty much apply pretty much all of the time. I hail from a small town called Cardiff by the Sea, which is located in Northern San Diego County. It happens to be one of the more beautiful and quaint places to grace the surface of this earth. Most of Cardiff's residents are rich or lucky, I am far from both.

I work in a small pizza place right behind a bar. There are four employees, two of which are the owners. Going to work is like traveling to Boston. So much so, that I've started wearing Red Sox gear to work. If the Sox game isn't on the tv, it's on the satellite radio. If the Sox lose, I get a demotion. If they win, I get a bonus. The only reason I usually make rent is because they're having a good season.

At work, I've mastered the art of making pizza piess, but my true job is delivery. I didn't take my job seriously until one night, I brought 3 pies to a raging party in Leucadia. Ever since that fateful night, I realized that pizza delivery was a blessing. Now I make it my duty to crash every party that occurs in a 3 mile radius from my work.

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. At 19, I've traveled to 4 countries and 40 states. My preferred language is English, but my Spanish gets better every day.

I drive a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Brougham. The hood, grill, and side-front panels are red where the rest of the car is black. This is because the first, and only other, owner nailed a deer going 50 mph. The mpg is awful, and it's aggressively ugly, but I've added some character to it. Two sizeable horns protrude from the bare-boned skull that adorns the grill of my car. People frequently ask me if I'm from Texas. I'm not, by the way, just a very sick individual. The rear is slathered in bumper stickers advocating beer, spirits, liquor, and fornication. The CD player that I have installed is not half bad either.

Other than my looks, I'm nothing special. Beautiful? Yes. Sextastic? Yes. Interesting? Not so much. I can't even say I've kept my looks up that well since I haven't had a photo shoot in nearly 5 months now.

I'm learning guitar, but every time I practice my neighbor calls the cops because he thinks that someone is killing a cat somewhere. I don't let that get to me.

I play about every sport imaginable, but none very well. Tennis twice a week, beach volleyball once a week, basketball thrice a week, boogieboarding/surfing/bodysurfing thrice a week, softball once a week, weightlifting five times a week, rugby once a month, ultimate frisbee twice a month if i can.
I'm best at tennis, but since I only play against one guy who is phenomenally good I haven't ever won a game. But I make him work for that win, dammit!

At this point, I'm sure you can only possibly be thinking one thing. How could one person possibly talk about themself for such a long period of time. Perhaps it's because I talk about other people all day long. Perhaps it's because I am insufferably long-winded. Or perhaps I'm just incredibly arrogant. Actually it's all three.

And that concludes the longest introduction to TFP you've likely ever suffered. Look for my works in the Tilted Literature Forum if you're into very dark, strange, and demented fiction.

Benny

Hi all,

Irish Punt here

Welcome to ya Bennystone and Irish punt - Enjoy the boards


And Benny - you're absolutely right about Tilted Literature ... share away!

Looks like I've never posted on this thread.

So yeah. I'm Gary the Rat. I play violent games and use Adobe products.

I've been in the computer world for quite a while.

Hello everyone. I'm not a rookie but i don't think i've ever made an introduction. I'm userasdf1234, yeah i know its not very original. I forgot all about this site until i recently bought a new computer and was moving some old bookmarks. I enjoy tfproject because there is a wide variety of interests here. Very good info/help/discussions on this board.

/me welcomes myself,
First I made a new thread introducing myself then figured out it literly ment when it said to introduce myself here that I was to do exactly that. :) But Hi all!

Welcome to Gary, User, and Elven.....enjoy this place, its one of a kind.

tecoyah goes to remove Elvens "other" introduction.

I'm fairly new, though my join date isn't. I originally was part of Table Talk and followed a thread there through the demise of TT, then the demise of People's Forum, then it just got too small and insular and became a closed community - which means no new ideas, no new fun. So I finally went through with my plan to start somewhere in a new community, with my secret identity and my tendency to turn green and muscular when angry.

No... wait... that's David Banner. I remain pink and pudgy.

Married, no kids, journalist, wannabe a wannabe writer.

Welcome Poppinjay....I hope you enjoy this place, Now that you have decided to post....heh.

I am new to this thread. not 100% sure how this all works but look forward to figuring it out. Feel free to let me knwo how you feel.

welcome florida 0214!! You'll see how it all "works" quickly and you'll find it works very easily :D Enjoy!

'Lo there internet peoples. I'm new.

WELCOME
 

~~~GANGGREEN~~~
Not a moderator here, but I think you should stop making pointless posts just to get an avatar. You need quality posting dude. Contribute. Share. Give your opinion. I've noticed your BS "one more closer to an avatar" posts in more than one thread. Moderators are watching what you post man. 'They' give you the avatar option. As a matter of fact they decide if you move up from rookie status depending on whether or not they feel you've contributed the good stuff or the bullshit.

Anyway, welcome to TFP. It's a great place to pass along knowledge and take in knowledge as well.

One last thing - You can be silly in the Nonsense Forum.
Oh one more thing - There is this little button on the right bottom corner of all your posts which read 'EDIT'. Use it. :D :thumbsup:

Welcome Gnoll! :D Hope to see you around the threads!

Internet People and so much more................................................ ;)

Hey Guys,

Just introducing myself. I been here before but rarely participated, i guess i was shy, but now its my time to speak!

gosh, i love you guys already.

Welcome DaVinche :D


I umm..uh.. yah love you too :p

hello :)
my name is l-dizzle :thumbsup:

recogt phillosophy
 

I am the founder of RECOG-T.
this is an acronym for

Rational Emotive Cognitive, Theory
Therapy
Training


You choose.

recogt has gone beyond it's original purpose which I will explain later.
For now the following is part of the core philosophy of the system.

Core belief 1. No cause is worth dying for.
Core belief 2, No cause is worth killing for.
Core belief 3, I forced to choose, we will probably choose core belief 2.

The system is rational, individualy hedonistic in that it emphasises the survival of the individual in order to ensure the survival of the group (Race, Species etc).

recogt eschews all racial, religious, national, political or any other division of people and holds that all people are beyond evaluation as good, bad or anything in between.

What recogt evaluates is belief ( adaptive or mal-adaptive) and the consequences of these beliefs.

Thus we do not judge the believer as good or bad but rather what is believed.

Good (rational) beliefs have positive outcomes for people. Bad (irrational) beliefs have negative outcomes.

This is a small and tentative step for recogt.

I wellcome your thoughts.

Gareth.

Welcome Gareth.....I have reposted your...uh....introduction in the philosophy forum

HI

Hi there, my name is Zora and I was referred by my freind mindy, i'm 45 years old and happily dating. Hope to get to know you all real soon.

hi, glad to be here.

thank you very much

I am new
 

Hi, I am so excited to be here.. My name Is Aria and I cant wait to find my way around here :)

Hey Laylu2001(again) :D

Hello
 

Hello Everyone,

I found you guys by mistake, decided to register and have a peak inside. Don't ask what I was looking for when I found you, it will only give you the wrong impression.

hey irishlass54. Have fun.. and don't worry.. we're a pretty "understanding" group. :D

I guess my situation is much like that of Irishlass. I was just wondering what goes on here. I'll have a look around and mouth off if anything piques my interest.

Welcome Kitty....Irish...and everyone else I missed.

Just relax and have a good time.

Hi, this is Mark, I had the pleasure of meeting SiN online and she brought me oer here to hang. So, I'd like to hang.

Welcome markasm. I've already seen you in chat so I'll just add that I'm glad you're making yourself at home.

Hello ppl. Im Mike, this places seems like a fun place to join. There is alot things to read about.

Hello all. I found this place while perusing the net and was impressed by the seeming civility that existed here. Not something you find in many forums on-line. Most places turn into shouting matches and I find it a little ridiculous most of the time. I'd always rather be taught a new perspective than to simply be "right" and this place looked full of open perspectives. So I joined just to test the water here.
I look foreword to talking with everyone :)

Welcome to all that dare pass the threshold
of humanity, we like and will tolerate just
about anything around here, unless it is rude
hateful, distasteful, anti diversity in any form
and just plain ignorant. Have a great time
and if you have questions, check me out in the
links forum, where I hang out when I stop in
or at least most of my contributions can be found there.
Again welcome all, it's a great place, thanks to great people!

Hey all... Spy here. That's what everybody calls me, anyway.

Got here via google, thought it looked cool, deemed it worthy of a registration.

My god, it's been a long time since i've been on a vbulletin forum, it's unrecognizible. :D

I used to be active on lucasforums, but that was about three years ago... I guess a little bit of versionbumping has gone on since. Heh.

Oh well, Just checkin' in here, hope all are well.

SPY

Hey Spy ... glad you made yourself Visible, heh :) Welcome to the boards ... this places tilts vbulletin to its limits ...

welcome foxynong! Glad you could spare a little time to join us :thumbsup:

Hi everybody!
Well, i wonder how many other albanians post here? Anywhoo, a little bit about myself, i like long walks on the beach and sunsets(j/k).

...
 

Hey Albania!! Welcome aboard!!! Stick around long enough to lose that Rookie title and you just may find out how many other Albanians post here! ;)

I was told there was a place, a place devoid of such juvenile things as flame wars, a place where people's opinions were respected, not shouted down in a hail of "OMG n00b FAG!!!!111". While having had only the briefest of glimpses of the contents, I can see I have found this place.

...
Wow
...
that was poetic
...

Anyway, enough of that. I'm just a guy from New Zealand (you know, that place with hobbits)

Welcome aboard Zyr....have a blast

damn...i thought i was gonna be the only cheerios here. i'm really new to this, but im havin' fun so far.

Hello-I'm an actual newbie -Bit confused by all of this ,but I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

Welcome Objet Trouve. Don't worry..you'll get the hang of this place soon enough :D

Hi guys.

I registered like one year ago, but bever really came to the forum. I'm a 20 y.o. french guy. I'm doing an internship in Kyoto for two more months now, but the job is really boring so I ended up lurking on forums. I've been posting on another forum for 2 months now, but I really did not like the atmosphere there, too much aggressivity, too much trolling, even though there were useful info and nice people. It reminded me of this place, and I want to try TFP for some time.

Hope to contribute to this place... When can you become a full member?

Iblade

We evaluate membership daily....after a 50 post/2 month minimum has been met. This gives us some measure of who the person is.

Welcome to the world of non-lurkers iblade....have fun

Hello hello one and all! A friend told me to come check out the area and said it was full of fun times and great info...so here I am! Hope to meet you one and all!

Kim :crazy:

Hi there Mherlee, glad you could join us...

Hello boys and girls...just checking 'tings out you see!
;)

I feel less special with an intro on page 93 than with my own thread. *pouts*

On the plus side, I found devil horn barettes at Halloween Express for $3 less than they were at Hot Topic. My custome rules.

And yet....you are special....regardless of the page number.

Welcome sarita
