newbie here, and she's got a question

chickster · 03-2-2005, 05:52 PM

So it's been about a day since I signed up here and I'm obssesed, but there's just one thing that i can't find (it's probably right in front of me)

my controlls
-avatar settings
-signature settings

It is located under Profile.

hydrojakep · 03-2-2005, 06:01 PM

Welcome to the forum!

Oh, dont smilie whore.

chickster · 03-2-2005, 06:15 PM

So now people are going to critisise me on how not to use smilies all the time or else I'll be called a "smilie whore". If not critisising about spelling/gramar or anything else in the world that's not cool on this site...r....I'm sorry, hydrojakep and all the others reading this, I'm just really piss off about how everyone on this site is criticle on how they want someone to type or spell and where. Maybe I need to take a break and come back here in the morning!!!

chickster · 03-2-2005, 06:21 PM

I still can't figure out why the signature part isn't working

...Oh never mind! It just started working

phoxphire04 · 03-3-2005, 07:29 AM

I don't understand that either chickster. Why on earth did the creators allow us to post in color and ad smiles if they are just going to say hey don't use them. I think its rather stupid if you ask me. But no one is asking me so just ignore me then.

angel-d · 03-3-2005, 08:07 AM

You know what. I have read a few things from you guys (chickster and phoxphire04) going on about how you are getting complained at for everything.

Well you know what it may be harsh but people have been here a lot longer than you (not me personally but from my observations) and they have made a community where some things have become to be seen as rude or inappropriate to the members which is perfectly aceptable. I don't see any problems with them asking you or me to have good spelling or not use to many smilies and stuff.

All i am saying is how would you like it if someone came into a group of your friends. You would expect them to act in a similar way to you or you wouldn't as readily accept them. So the same thing is happening here. I hope you understand, I am not having a go, just trying to explane what I see in a way that might help you enjoy your time here.

I hope you decide to stay and maybe we can have a challenge one day... after i'v had a bit of practice

chickster · 03-3-2005, 12:47 PM

Jees, I'm really sorry about this. I just think it's a little weird for someone to tell you how to spell....I guess it takes some time to get use to. I'll just try and make a good impression from now on, or else no one will want to talk with me.

Thanks for the reality check there angel-d, I better suck it up and go along with it if i want to "fit in".

emccky · 03-3-2005, 01:24 PM

Use whatever the fuck you want to, don't listen to people saying don't use smilies.. just don't type like

chickster · 03-3-2005, 01:50 PM

Thanks for that! I'm getting reall;y sick and tired of people telling me how to be a good newbie (I can't believe there's a guide for that, why would you want to be someone your not) and what to say and how to say it

Not to offend HWOLF, but i don't think that's right. I know what some of you guys are going to say "If you don't like it leave", but I think I could stick around for awhile.

t_montana · 03-4-2005, 10:59 AM

Thats what I say. Fuck em if they cant take it.Hell, Im in Iraq I sure as hell am not going to be intimidated by a 14yr old telling me how to spell stuff.No offense to 14yr olds in general,but,thats the way it is. 8)

**Moogy** · 03-4-2005, 01:25 PM

welcome to my house

enjoy your pleasing and fresh-scented stay

but watch out for giant crabs that quote shakespeare

**Tank101** · 03-4-2005, 01:29 PM

There are colored fonts because it basically came with the board and there is no point in coding them out.

It's hard to read posts that are badly written and in color, that's why we don't like it. When in FFR, do as the FFRians do.

**Moogy** · 03-4-2005, 01:30 PM

THE CRABS WILL EAT YOU

More like nazis if you ask me buddy! I don't want to type all pretty just to fit someones standards, there is a way to take off the color but how in the hell is that making it hard to read. Not capitalizing something doesn't make it hard to read!!! If you are as smart as I think you are then i'm pretty sure you can read post like that.

Giant_Crab_Benedict · 03-4-2005, 02:53 PM

No, I won't eat you, but I do quote shakespeare.

"To be or not to be-that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them."

chickster · 03-4-2005, 02:55 PM

He's going to eat you now!!!!!!!!

phoxphire04 · 03-5-2005, 05:46 PM

Chickster you make me laugh.. and I applaud you guys for standing up for all this stuff. If you think about it this is a really stupid thing to be "fighting" about b/c we aren't verterans of the board and if those are the rules fine.. but for real I agree with the colors, smilies and typing if you don't get it or cant read it, well then ignore it. If someone really wants you to know what they are saying then they will type it in plain ole' english. eh oh well.. I prolly wont post a whole heck of alot on here to even care about fighting for it. eh, later. time to watch larry the cable guy

Mindfields · 03-5-2005, 07:52 PM

Just because we've created a place where we like to be doesn't mean you have to call us nazis for it! If you're going to make an attempt at speaking the English language, then try your best to speak it correctly! Most of us here live with people going "Y0 \/\/@ssup home dog g money bags!?" and we're tired of it!
Not to mention that it's common courtesy to speak in a way that the listener can hear you! Isn't that what you punk-non-conformists are all about? Being heard? SPEAK RIGHT AND MAYBE YOU WILL!
Chickster, I'm tired of all this crap you're posting, most of the time it's about the same stuff! 43 posts about the same thing and you've only been joined for about 4 days!

In the meantime, angel-d has been added to Alden's Protected List.

chickster · 03-5-2005, 09:19 PM

Oh so now you're calling me a "punk-non-conformist" and what the hell is up with "Aldens Protected List", i'm not doing anybody any harm. I was just stating what I thought was wrong and then you turn around and call me these things and say that I talk a certain way and that you can't understand me. Look pay, you don't even know me so don't go around and talking like that! It's just really stupid that you think everyone should be perfect and have no mistakes. I guess I'm DONE with this discussion and I hope we can ALL get ALONG...somehow.
