Title: Greetings from a n00b!
Post by: Medford Shmoo on September 11, 2011, 05:18:27 PM
Hey there. I'm new and this is my first internet forum. Pleased to meet you all :)

Since I am a huge n00b is there anything I should know? For instance, what sort of behavior will lead to banned-ness, that sort of thing.

For starters, we tend to ban anyone from Methford Medford.

But since you are apparently from Crumpetland and probably don't even know what Medford is, we'll let it slide. :lulz:

Christ, I'm like three miles away from being banned.

Wrong Medford, though I can add that one to the list if you'd like. :lulz:

Is it a place?

I am from England although crumpets aren't as popular as they once were, sadly. They are great though.

I dunno i tried finding them to link them as a courtesy, but they tend keeping getting to bury underneath mountains of strife, for some reason :?

anyway check these, I think:

http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=25992.0
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=16999.0

dunno if these are the most up-to-date, but they carry the general gist of it.

Dok's "new people should probably read this" is also a very good intro, although I could not explicitly find any links to our (few) rules in that thread, still definitely worth reading:

I was talking about Medford, OR, which makes Medford, MA look like Pleasantville.

Do those fuckers in Medford, Or have a private pond? 

The assholes in Medford, MA have a perfectly functioning swimming hole but jealously guard it for their own inbred kind.  :argh!:

Any ponds in Medford, OR are likely to actually be reservoirs of anhydrous ammonia to be used for making more crystal meth.

I happen to live in the PDX area, but Methford is pretty well known for... well... yeah. What the name says.

If this is your first forum, how do you know that "n00b" is the proper spelling of the slur for new people? :?

Another PDX spag?

When I get home I'll try to "organize" another get-together at The Alley or The Slingshot or someplace else that's appropriately divey.

Also, I'll try to actually show up. I'm running about 50-50 on that so far and I'm pretty sure the next time I flake out Nigel is gonna find where I live and start leaving pieces of dead hipsters on my front step. :lulz:

Because you're getting old, is what I'm guessing ;-)

Noob is a pretty common word around the internet. It's pretty difficult to avoid hearing... er, reading. I was just trying to make it clear how ignorant of forum etiquette I am. In retrospect using '0''s instead of 'o''s was a bit much.

Also, nice to internet meet you! :)

Also thanks for the links Triple Zero. I'm reading them now.

The Medford Shmoos were a bunch of aliens claimed to have been seen in presumably one of the two Medfords you're talking about. They got called that because they sort of resembled the shmoos from the Lil' Abner comics.

To be clear- I am not from there.

OK, but we've gotta do it soon before we finish the immigration fence that will run along the crest of the westside hills.

We're sorry that you'll be caught on the wrong side, but at least we won't have to tolerate any more frat boys in Chinatown on weekends.
