Your Advice To A New *litster*

avoid RUlooking up.
He's a psycho.
Just do a search on his posts.
I have him on iggy. I learned too late.

Anything to help newbies. :) :cool:
 
Yeah this was the first online postings I had ever done. I don't do myspace or facebook or twittering or any of that. So i was quite green to all of it. Be aware of what you tell people. You may not be lying to them but on the otherhand you don't want to give false hopes either.

You have to be very specific in your intentions. Don't leave room for interpretation. Also do your best to stay away from the drama. I wear my heart on my sleeve so I let things get to met at times.

This place can be addicting and there are some good people on here. There are some odd ducks as well (myself included). Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
 
Don't fill out the BJ questionarre.....unless you want to empty your inbox daily for five days straight cause it's so full.
 
Don't just start IM'ing a person b/c they have their ID available, further don't automatically request to be auto-added to that person's friends list. Also asking ASL is annoying, esp when you can tell by obvious indicators if the person is male/female...not to mention jumping in "head first" w/ the typical stats question is SO aggrivating!
 
The ratio of men to women on the boards is about a billion to one.

What does this mean to you?

It should mean that you cannot take offense to non reponsive female posters. It could be they are backlogged, could mean they are "getting some" somewhere else, or it could mean they simply do not like you.

It is quite possible that one minute you will be flirting with the most beautiful woman of all time and the next minute see that woman flirting with some other guy.

Just because she sends replies to you once doesn't mean she is going to reply to you forever. Just because you think the world of her doesn't mean she thinks the world of you.

Just assume you are the 10th, 30th, or 100th guy to hit on her since she logged in.

I know. It isn't fair. It can be painful. And, yes, I am sure you are much "cooler" than the guy she is flirting with now.

If you are unable to "handle" that kind of thing I don't suggest doing a whole lot of flirting.

Also, for whatever reason, there are lots of women here who are married or otherwise attached.

Don't assume they are looking for you to fix thier "problems". Don't assume they are here because they obviously aren't getting what they want at home. Don't assume that you can show her anything that she hasn't seen before.

It sucks. It isn't fair. It can be painful. And, yes, I am sure you "understand" her a lot better than whoever she is with.

One more tip. Be careful of the GB. Even the nice people there are on edge because they expect you to be some "alt" of someone they have crossed.

Tread carefully.

Hahaha. Very very very true! And most girls on here don't realise how different it is to be a guy. :rolleyes:

Still love it though! :)

Stay way from this guy! He's a loon! Kidding! He's fuckawesome and super genuine!
 
I've only just seen this thread, despite having been a member here for three years, and there is some very sage advice within it.

The post by Spins is easily the best piece of advice I've read, but other points about the General Board, actually writing some information about yourself in your profile, and not responding to PMs if you don't want to are all pieces of advice with which I concur.

If you do find yourself getting involved in a PM exchange which ends up going in a direction you do not like, and/or you find certain users harassing you, don't forget the ignore function. Using this allows you never to have to read anything that they ever type, unless someone who is not on your ignore list quotes their post in a thread. It's quite a handy feature :).

Don't be afraid to post. I didn't post anything for around two years on this site, because I was too shy. Providing you know where to post (the Playground in a few of the game threads is a good place to start), then you can settle into the forum much more easily than you think.

Finally, there's nothing wrong with telling people you're masturbating while you're on the site, but if you're going to do it, use the appropriate threads, so that people who don't want to read about it, don't have to, and those who do want to read about it (and join in;)) can do so :).

But then will I not overpost that blocked person every time in a game thread?

You would, but most people who I have seen who are best ignored don't tend to post in such threads :). Also, this can happen a lot in any case, due to the number of people posting at the same time.

Yeah, but I usually edit an an appology and response. I don't like to leave people out, even if I don't want to see their posts.
