Yeah...being a n00b is fun. Best idea is to not act like you know people and that you're tough crap. And don't post stupid shit that's pointless. I forget who said it on here, but there were some wise words...might have been ToB:
..If it looks stupid on your screen, it'll probably look 10 times as stupid when someone else reads it... or something like that.
(Refleting moment...lol. Crap I've been here since April of 2003? Or May?).
Oh, don't go begging for some kind of higher authority or to be a mod
Cause that's stupid. And don't post retarted reused and redecorated topics like...
"What's your favorite Evanescence song?!"
"How much do you love Amy Lee?"
"How much do you love the band (which turns into 'How much do you love Ame Lee part II')"
"When did you first hear about Evanescence?"
"Describe a great Evanescence experience."
Please. They've all been posted. To save you a little bit of time, effort and humiliation.
Umm...don't write in red. Please.
Learn the names of the band fast.
...You have to randomly guess where the Ben Moody topics go. Basically put them somewhere because the mods don't know either
Or just don't post any.
Don't complain too much. If someone died, sure. If you lost someone dear, swell. If you broke up with your boyfriend of 2 weeks. I'm sorry, you're done.
Waiding through petty sorrow topics about nothing and finding something to say isn't too fun. Basically you're getting a generated response from someone like "I'm sorry!" because they want a bigger post count. Bringing me to my last one.
Post count doesn't count. I'm sorry, it really doesn't. We did away with that feature. Look at me, I've been here while, and I don't have that much, but there's still SPAMmers who will post "Hi" in every new post and "I'm sorry" in all of the whine and cheese. Don't be like that, please. If you really have that much to say go make friends.
Oh, reputation. Post cool topics, get reps! Don't beg. And if someone reps you and says "rep me back..." well... they want rep. And that isn't cool is it? You're suposed to work for it
aaaand... I'm done. Ready 123 stop.
