It's mostly fine if you just look at the last page or two of the thread. And maybe the first post to see what the thread is for. The majority of threads are already archived, you only see the active ones, but there're a fair few which were started a long time ago, and have been kept going.

QUOTE (Industrial Kybosh @ Mar 11 2003, 04:41 PM) It is quite plain to see that this site is on the up and up - over 30 people have joined in the week since I did! This number will probably keep growing at an even greater rate as word-of-mouth introduces more people to Matazone, and so to the forums.
This, of course, means that there will be an influx of people with no idea what is going on, who anyone is, and what to do. Granted, there are pinned notices to help folks out, but admit it, how often do you read the instructions when you've just got something new? It is in this spirit that I propose an idea: Adoption! It's simple - newbies use this thread to put themselves up for adoption by an established user (Advanced Member or higher preferably), who will then show them the ropes and answer any questions (such as 'Why won't my avatar work?', 'how do I write things in red?' or 'Does that gerbilfromhell fellow ever calm down?') via PMs. If you like the idea, why not make your name known as being available to the Adopt A Noob scheme? And just to make things more fun, why not put the name of you newbie (or your adopter if you are a newbie) in your signature? If this works, the forums will be an even more pleasant place for everyone, and we may even convince some of those quiet noobs to come out of their shells... BTW, one noob each would be ideal. This isn't Pokemon, and you don't have to catch 'em all... [EDIT] Here begins a list of useful links within the forum - links to threads that, despite not being pinned, are very much worth a look: MissyA's Unofficial Matazone Fansite The Colours Thread - for use in the [color] tags The Links Thread - a link to more links - useful and informative links, mind! Adoptions Gone Wild - take note, both those adopting and those being adopted... |

Like Daria, I don't really want to adopt anyone, but I'm also open for any questions you may have. And, to be honest, if you PMed almost any of the regular posters, they'd almost certainly help you with anything that you're having problems with.

This adoption thing is a rather good idea. A lot of other boards wouldn't be bothered with holding noobs' hands and stuff.
Awesome. -------------------- Dr. Cox: Good God in heaven, Newbie, there are just so very many ways for me to say this to you: Never; not in a million years; absolutely not; no way, Jose; no chance, Lance; nyet; negatory; mm-mm; nuh-uh; oh-oh; and of course my own personal favorite of all time, man falling off of a cliff -- "NOOOOOOOoooooooo!"...*pft*!

We're a friendly bunch. I'm working full time these days, but if people have questions then post away. Don't be shy about making new threads either. You can do this after you've posted a couple of replies to other people's threads (this helps prevent spammers). Welcome to my forums!
