Hello, world.
I signed up because I was looking for disks 3 and 4 of FF8, and after I found them I saw a link saying "If you want more, sign up here!" So here I am. I make no guarantees about how long I'll stay...I'm rather notorious for showing up, posting once or twice, and leaving. (Or I would be notorious if I actually posted often or widely enough for people to notice me.) Apparently this forum is at least partially dedicated to flash development? Too bad that's not really my field, although I do have some (mostly forgotten) experience with Visual Basic and C++, a little experience with HTML, and even less with CSS.

About me: I guess it would be fair to call me a jack-of-many-trades, master of few-or-none, depending on what qualifies as "mastery". I'm a bit of a nerd or a geek or both, depending on which set of definitions you prefer. I enjoy some of both video games and anime, and I've gradually become a bit of a subbed snob. My skin is very pale; I sunburn very easily and consequently spend most of my time indoors. For three years I attended a college that required all students to take four semesters of a class that taught sophistry (although that isn't what it claimed to be), and I took all four classes. I had to drop out after the third year because of health problems and haven't been able to finish school due to lack of finances. I go to Friday Night Magic at a store less than a mile from my home on a semi-regular basis. I strongly self-identify as Orthodox Christian. I am also somewhat verbose, as if you couldn't tell by now. And I currently struggle with a bit of insomnia, which is why my first post was at 4:30 AM local time. Anything else I should say?

I do have a couple questions...Right after my first post in the Debate forum, I had a Thumbs rating of 0, and this afternoon it had changed to -1. I looked around but couldn't find any description of Thumbs. Should I be concerned? Secondly, when I stuck my head in the Christianity sub-board, I noticed that many of the threads on the top page are quite old, some from '05. What is the policy on posting to old threads? I wasn't clear when reading the FAQ.

Thanks.

hey there and welcome.
hope you decide to stick around, but if you dont no big deal
you'll find a few of us here fit into that geek/nerd catagory quite well ~waves~
dont worry too much about the thumbs thing, its just a rating system nothing more.
just means someone didnt like something you said (joking)

if you want you can post in old threads if its relevent, theres no rule against it per say, but there is a reason that topics stop getting posted in after a few years
maybe make a new thread if you want and reference the old one?

anyway, if you have anything to say dont be shy

The thumb system means pretty much that someone didn't like what you said. It's not necessary to really be concerned about it at all, if there would be anything you should be concerned with then a staff member would contact you about it.

And when it comes to bumping: We are very lenient here, and you can bump any thread that's not over 18 months old, this number fluctuates depending on post quality, an extremely good post can bump even older threads, just makes sure the quality makes up for the time.

If you need help with anything else then feel free to contact me or any other staff member.


Oh and welcome.

That would explain the thumbs thing; I think I somehow offended ziggy with my first post.

Thanks for the advice and the welcome.

Welcome to the board! Glad you stayed for more than just what you were looking for.
The THumbs thing isn't very widely used... I doubt some people even notice it. In any case, I raised you by a Thumb, so don't worry. ;P

Anyways, welcome, have fun, and stay a while!

Share and Enjoy!

Hey Trias.

The Christianity area is sort of my "domain".... sort of. Feel free to go in there and post in any thread that actually has a chance of continuing.

It's nice to have someone else around that is willing to dive right in to the debate forum. And you do it pretty well.

Welcome!

Hi Neyro, geeogree. Thank you both for the welcome. I appreciate the, er, "thumbs up" Neyro.

I think that thread in the debate forum (and me actually being registered) has a lot to do with why I decided to start posting. I'm a bit shy publicly, so it's frustrating that I also tend to be outspoken. Or want to be. Or something. Forums make it easier for me to argue. I'll at least keep an eye on the Christianity board. I guess sporadic activity is normal?

Hi I hope you enjoy the many great features of this site and look forward to many new ones.
