Popular Post Cloud Posted March 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Lately, it seems like we've been getting a spur of new members, and they try their best to make Welcome Threads, but they're at a loss of what exactly to put into it! Fear not; you're local neighborhood Cloud is here to remedy the ailment. First of all, we would encourage you to make your own thread for an introduction. Hi-jacking someone else's thread to say 'hey, I'm new here too' is pretty much a no-no, as it's kind of disrespectful, you know? I wouldn't want someone to interrupt my introductory speech at a ceremony to give their own without even letting me finish, and I'm sure you wouldn't like it, either, yeah? When posting your introduction thread, always remember to... - give yourself a nice, in-your-face title! By title, I mean the one thing that we see first in the index of the forums; the name of your thread! This will give us a very quick insight as to how you think, as well as provoke us to click on your thread so we can read all about you. If your thread title is boring, with things such as 'Hi' it will tell us that you either weren't giving thought to the initial title and wanted to focus on content, which is good, but we still want to see that you're happy that you're with us! Of course, we'll look at your thread anyway, but an inviting title makes us jump before clicking it! - focus heavily on the content of your thread! What you say in that first post lets us see straight through and into your mind, letting us know exactly who you are. Give us something right away so we want to keep reading, so we want to know more! Keep us on our toes so you can get some nice friends. Share personal info (to a certain extent), tell us your hobbies, tell us your life goals, and more! - not be shy! Even if you're a timid person in real life and you either can't help doing it online or want to do it so people know you are rather shy, try to avoid it so we can tell what you're trying to say, how you're saying it and how we should respond to it! You can also ask as many questions as you want in this thread, as we as a community will be more than willing to answer any inquiries you have - we're just that welcoming. - be positive! Don't be a pessimist in your welcome post, because if you are it seems like you're only giving it half your effort and here at Reborn, we want everyone to be happy and welcomed into the community, but that means giving it your all to make it seem like you want to be apart of the community! Give us a big smile and we'll give you an even bigger one. Above all, just have fun with your opening thread and be yourself and we'll welcome you with open arms.

jjm239 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 But sometimes it's more fun to be depressing, and sometimes you can't help that your life is like a turd rolling down from a mountain top, no matter who's nice to you or not...

Arom Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I've been with one other person in that time, and it was a disaster.I work, and I fear, and sometimes I do awful things.I have drinks with my sister for an hour or two most evenings and come home.I can't talk to her about what I do.She stays out, gambles, goes for rides in the country, has affairs. Advantages of online stock tradingForex trading booksTypes of forex traders And now I'm going to die anyway.I've made a mistake somewhere probably to do with those two on the island.I won't stop you.No, I can't do that.But I don't have to pull you down with me. Can't that be enough?You gave me at least a day more than I would have had.And not a bad one.She didn't say anything, but then he felt a tender kiss, just at the edge of his lips.He thought about the assassin he had just slaughtered, and realized he felt nothing. Online forex trading softwareAssociation forex investmentForex introducing broker program He kissed her, and outside the night birds sang as if everything were normal, quiet, and in its place.SIX «Halt here,» Captain Falcus shouted.Then realizing she'd spoken out of turn, she looked to Brennus.He was a scholar, not a warrior or battlemage, although his skills had saved her a few times in the past weeks.But he didn't have the constitution or the training for this sort of forced march, and it was starting to show. Um... bro? Not trying to be inrespectful or anything, but why did you put something that has nothing to do with the main theme here? And especially... what's up with the spam?

Maelstrom Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's a bot, but it's actually rather interesting to read the story fragments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fush Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's a bot, but it's actually rather interesting to read the story fragments. It'd be better if he posted it as an actual story with a legitimate thread title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arom Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well... watcha gonna do? Spammer bots will always cause spam and will always be bots... and shit... but I still wonder... why people are using them here? I thought this was a forum just to chat about pokémon and other intersting things, and also to get some friends (poké-friends ). That's what I don't get.
