Newb bashing
 

I think one of the reasons we don't get too many new members is because they all get scared off.

I mean, if I came in to a forum and got back 20 flames on my first post I don't know if I'd bother posting on the forum if I was looking for some what intelligent conversation.

The well placed flame is great but atleast make it seem like HDC is a decent place to post. We have some really great posters in Bloodrayne, Urgeok, Sam etc. (The rest know who they are) but we don't have a lot of regular posters on here.

Wouldn't it be great if this forum had new replies more often? Some sub-forums don't get replies for weeks, I think getting more people to get involved in posting wouldn't be a bad idea.

You've come to the wrawng place if you're looking for intelligent conversation.

FUCK OFF! :D :)

Re: Newb bashing
 

Hay your post is 666. Anyway I agree. We now have a bad rep. for bashing. And I don't think we should be proud of that!!

Fuck you, you fucking n00b. Get the fuck out now before I eat you.

@hap

No, I know what you're saying...and we've talked about this before. But, some of the good posters here have gone through the same process as all of the noobs. It's just initiation. IMO.

I know I would've been pretty disappointed if when I came here I just got a few, "Hey welcome...go post" messages. That's not how a horror forum should be.

We have an image to uphold here...lol.

....
 

A few flames is ok but a few pages of solid flaming is a just too much imo.

Zips lip and stays real quiet in this thread...:p :D

Wonder Why?? LOL

...
 

kpro, I know you live to bash newbies. :D It's just that it seems like everyone is flaming which is no good.

I don't really expect anyone to ease up, I just wanted to say what I thought about it.

I realize that not everybody reacts to flames the same way...and some people might take offense. I try not to say anything too harsh...or if I think I did, I have actually PMd a few noobs to let them know it was all in fun (just in case they took it the wrong way).

I haven't the slightest idea...:rolleyes:






















































:D :D :D :D :D

FLAME ON!

Your a Bad BAD Boy!!!! ;)

I didn't even post in the new members section, I just started posting about horror movies right away. I've been flamed, but not for introducing myself. That's the way it should be.

LOL you have no idea...:D :p

I Would like to!!! ;) ;)

personally, i like having fun with noobs occasionally but i'm pretty tame .. nothing that would deter anyone.
on the other hand when someone comes in with an attitude - or is obviously too stupid to be off of life support - i think some anal reaming is appropriate ... but thats rare..

i'd like to see more posters - intelligent posters - here as well ..

but i kind of understand the mentality that if you cant take a gentle poke in the ribs - you probably have nothing to offer here ..

I say fuck em if they can't take a joke...:D

....
 

It's not whether you can stand it or not, it makes the forum look bad.

I probably would have looked for a better horror forum if I got 5 pages of stupid flames on a post introducing myself. In a lot of forums, people will flame you for not introducing yourself to the forums.

(Then you'd never have the oppurtunity to read any of my wonderful posts right? :p )

Re: ....
 

Sounds like you just can't win!!

Re: Re: ....
 

The internet is lose/lose *logs off :D

but when people flame in other forums, it's a few comments. Here it's like people feel obligated to cut down every new member.

i think that noobs should at least bring donuts for everyone.

I like that!! :D

...
 

lol@the idea of fedexing donuts :D

When is it NOT, really?

...and gentle pokes.

Donuts, fuck that, bring me a joint the size of Texas and then I will put away my FU Noob pics...:D

I like cruller's myself

Maybe it's just me...but this donut turns me right the fuck on!

Meh, I still say this looks better....:D

It looks like a gaping rectum.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

You must definitely have your beer goggles on from all that Coors Lite.

But yeah...I'd hit that.

:D

Now that is a screen name waiting to happen.

LOL nope no goggles yet...I've only drank 6 tonight...But yeah I'd prefer noobs to send dank rather than donuts lol...:D

Re: ...
 

I myself don't see why it's such a problem. If the n00b has half a brain in their head they'll realize by reading all the welcomes, don't take it personally, BloodRaynes poem, that it's all in fun.

Oh and Miss Angela, since you never received a proper welcome I don't want you to feel left out sweetie :p :p ;) :D
