so i got bored and read thru the newbie faq...

holy crap, there were like 30 typos and even more grammatical errors

wtf was souly smoking when he made that?

i spent the last hour paraphrasing, and i need a break

no wonder newbs do so much wrong stuff, they couldnt understand the rules in the 1st place

MM, you may have solved the newbie problem, bravo!

lol, so thats the reason why we get so many " how do i get a avatar" threads lol!!!


well good job for checking it , about 7 months after it was written

Can you make part of the sign-up process that people have to actually click on that link.  And maybe answer a 10 question quiz.  ANd if they get 1 wrong then they don\'t get in..  Yeah, that\'s the ticket...  And if they get none right we get to beat the newbie.

Why won\'t you just put

500 = Avvy
1000 = Custom title
1500 = Color custom title
2000 = Color user name

After the person has signed up. That\'s all they ask, anyway.

No, I want to have a question like.

Who is the coolest?  Obviously the answer would be moi.

Who is most likely to give you a gentle reach around? Um, Sammy of course.

Who is most likely to jump you in the shower?  If you don\'t know that one?


You see, these simple questions anyone should be able to answer.

actually vid-O\'s idea is great until the quiz part that is , once a person signs up redirect them to a page with all the rules.

I\'m pretty sure most people don\'t read the rules. You can re-direct them but, I bet they will just skip the whole thing except for a few. Well, that\'s what I did when I joined, I didn\'t read anything else but the necessities.

Maybe vids idea isn\'t so bad, as long as they are REAL questions and not about the weird problems of our fellow forum members.

You guys are no fun.  


A quiz will be great.  It will give mm something to do too.  You can tell by how much hacking he\'s been doing that he\'s bored senseless.....

I imagine hacking is going to end in a day or so.

MADDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, after wednesday, im done hacking the forum for a while

gotta represent my city

here we go steelers, here we go!

Bah, you and your dumb [Waterboys Mother voice] Foolsball!! [/Mother voice]

Yeah, I think a quiz would be a good idea. Although, I doubt it work turn out alright. I read all the rules when I first joined, just because it wasnt that much, and it wasnt that hard. I think after you tell them to read it, they do.

Now the noob\'s can understand, no more threads about getting avatars.
