When You Were A New Poster On A2K

My first post? http://able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=49#49

I was hoping more people would sign on, cuz there were just a couple of us talking to each other.

Regret? Not really. Kinda wished some things didn't get the reaction they did - but my opinion's my opinion.

I rag on people I've met the same way I rag on anyone. No special treatment. Well, except for the lad - and he doesn't post here much these days.

I initially came here with a few other posters who already knew each other from two other primary boards, so I already knew that I'd stick around. Pretty much regardless of anything. We were just waiting for more friends (old, new and not yet met) to arrive.

I first posted on abuzz. Many of the people migrated to this site when it became available. I can't remember my posts but I was captivated by the diversity of topics and the knowledge of many of the diverse people interacting on the different topics.

Craven was testing poll code across the forums and Bob was there to help out!

(just noticing - it went from my first post #49 to Bob's first post # 33022 in just about two months - lots talkin' round here)

I don't remember my first post, and I'm too lazy to go look it up, but I remember one of the first threads I started was "what do you think about during sex?". I got such hilarious responses, I loved it. Then I ran into a guy named Gustavratzenhofer, and I was hooked.

I actually am like this in real life, but only with my closest friends. It takes a while for me to talk like I do on A2K with somebody in real life. I'm much more quiet and polite in real life, until I get to know a person. When I met Joe Nation, Frank, Lola, Blatham, and Dagmaraka I'm sure they were like...this can't be Kickycan. He's f*cking boring!

My first post was stupidly made in the politics forum, I regret that!

When I arrived, a former Abuzzer took exception to me right away for some encounter we'd once had. I didn't remember the encounter or the person at all, but we had a few testy times anyway. He did not like my first political post at all and I quickly took to avoiding the thread. Because of my disruption, the thread was split and one of the longest running political threads was born.
I used to regret mistakes made on here, but now I take it in stride. No big deal in the long run.

I don't remember my first post. I'm a VERY unapolegtic person, probably more so in real life, which can be a bad thing.

But I'm pretty much the same personality both ways, I may come across a little more subtle/polite in "real life," but the twisted sense of humor is still there. I've met one A2K person, and I pretty much treated her the same...talked her ear off and jokingly made fun of her. And drank beer.

And I've only beat up 2 retards for giving me funny looks, rather than the hundreds you'd assume by reading my posts. : ) LOL!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!

JOAM!!!

EDIT: I've met TWO A2K people. One did not get my sense of humor at all(due to language?), or just thought I was a complete retard. Or is just good at reading people?

I actually had posts prior to becoming bobsmythhawk. I was bobsmyth but wasn't allowed to sign on anymore. Don't know why so just added hawk to my name and went on.

Like BrandX, my first post was in politics. I got into it right away. I guess I just had a lot to say about the election but I don't normally talk to friends and family about politics -- for good reason. After the election, I started participating in other forums and have gotten to really like the people here, especially their senses of humor.

Like kicky, I'm like this in real life but only with those I'm very close to. Most of those people are family and they are not living near me so I guess this place gives me the fix I need while I'm missing them so much.

Don't remember my first post, but like ehBeth says, there weren't many to talk to. Finally, we got Letty and dlowan on board and knew we had a going site. I can't recall how many server upgrades we've had since then, but you just can't imagine how slow it was. You could submit a post and go out for coffee while it was in process. Coffee Hell, you could go out for dinner.

I remember, edgar. I recall one thread being started by you, and one by Walter. I think they were spliced together, maybe renamed, and produced some of the best political writing (at times) available anywhere. I haven't looked into it in over a month.

I remember Roger posting as roger, guest and Roger in the beginning.

Yup - we're all pretty much real people around here. I wondered about Slappy for a while, but now that people that I've met IRL have met him, I'm fairly sure he's also real. Still not sure if he has feelings. He seems to know a decent amount about nutrition.

I also came over from abuzz and I knew I'd stay. I started out as Gezzy, which was my user name from abuzz, but then I felt I needed a change, so I became Montana.

I don't really remember any regrets. I speak my mind and it's ok if people don't agree with my opinions.

I came into A2K not even a year ago with a chip on my shoulder. The first thing I did was raise a ruckus about how the avatars proved there was a clique(I believe bunnies were in vogue at the time).
Somebody asked if I was running for sheriff and I soon quieted down.

hehehehe

that's what happens when you arrive just before Easter

gotta admit that there is a certain group that likes to dress up. funnily (?) it's not necessarily people that get along - it's just people that like to dress up

I remember arriving in A2K and all those guys falling on me only because I'm french!

It's much better know and I got some support.

You're a good guy, Francis.

Now, if I could just banish the Chinese accent I read you with. Most odd.

my first post was a music question,and when i got a look at the music forum i knew i'd found a place to call home

regrets, i've had a few, but then again too few to mention

oops, that should probably be in the music forum

i did make a joke on one of my first visists to the general forum that got missed by the next posters and actually looked like i was posting in the wrong forum, it had something to do with what you look for in a partner or sexual relationship and i made some joke about connection speed, in a vain attempt to make an internet porn joke and it fell totally flat
