After much thought I've created a thread that allowes new users to share with us their arrival... or anything else for that matter. Basically this is just so we don't have a new thread letting us know we have a new user. Don't getting me wrong. In no way do I resent the ammount of new users we've be getting recently, I think it's awsome. But I'm not a fan of new threads just because someone arrives. If you wish to create a new thread, make it about something. With that said, welcome to The Lab everyone! |

We just wanted to deal with that issue... just a couple of point... just changing the attitude towards AIDS from being "Ew... AIDSY." to more like "Ah... Fun monkey disease."

Kinda ironic, since this has already been done...twice.
Just messing with you, Ramus. 
Welcome, new people! |

It wouldn't have been, had you quoted the entire sentence.

You know, I was thinking about doing this myself, but I figured I'd let Ramus have some admin-flavored fun.
Good call. |

Can I mention how it'll save on bandwidth (I hope)? That way it'll really sound like I did it, because it was my Admin duty. |

Well, technically it will save on bandwidth, but a very small amount... probably conserving 1k per prevented experiment. That doesn't sound like much, but if you get 100 users doing it, that's 100k, which is 1/10th of a lot.
Actually, now that I think about it... it may take less bandwidth to have more small threads, since people who haven't read them don't need to read all the posts prior to theirs. I'm not that concerned, though; since I moved to this host a few months ago (and started woefully neglecting Animal Crossing), 765 megs have been downloaded and uploaded through the site.
I get over 5000mb per month before they start charging me. |

Hi, I'm a new user. Not a strictly new like today-is-my-first-day kind of user, but new enough that it's a valid excuse for increasing my post count.
I am a direct blood relative to one of the other users here, but you have to guess which one if you don't already know.
I'm male, almost 30 years old, live in the San Francisco bay area, do computer stuff for work, and I play just about any kind of board game, card game or roleplaying game you can think of but I only play computer games if I have a human opponent (mostly).
I have just started my very own baby blog called MyLantis, and if my years of experience on the 'net count for anything, I will update it many times per day and ruthlessly advertise it over the next two weeks, then abandon it entirely.
It's nice to share electrons with everyone here, new and old, and special thanks to Clank-o-tron for providing the first web-based-messaging-system-thingee that I've ever actually enjoyed. |

Hello. I'm also a new user. Don't let my name confuse you, I'm not going to "preach" to any of you... Unless of course you want me to. I send my greetings to users here, being that this is the first time I've used a message board with people that talk about... STUFF. I think it's cool. |

If there was a dragon in the air, then you would see me flying up there. If there was a dragon in the earth, then you would see me swiming in dirt. If there was dragon in the sea, then that is where you could find me.

Hello, Reverend! Thanks for joining, and I hope you stick around!

Please do go ahead and preach, so long as it's interesting... preaching to the choir isn't useful, and preaching about religion to those of different views is often unproductive, but introducing people to new thoughts, ideas, and (yes I work in a marketing department) paradigms is often interesting.

Me too. I've always read /. and the daily grail and other such places, but this is the first web-based discussion area in which I've actually participated in conversations. I really do hope you stick around, and bring some friends!
