Well, I'm new to this forum. I've been playing SR for some time, but this is the first SR forum I register on, I am active on some other RPG forums though.

First of all I'd like to commend you guys on the amount of activity, and apparent lack of flame wars and spam on this forum, I suppose you have dedicated Mods.

Second, regarding accronyms on these boards I stumbled into two acronyms that were new to me on this, my first night of posting.
BBB i managed to figure out myself, quickly, the first time I saw it.
Canon, i had some troubles with however. I know what it means know, but it's not really as self-explanatory as most well-used accronyms are. And with the CC out there's quite a lot of room for confusion. In other systems I've seen RAW (rules as written) been used in this context. If I happen to type RAW instead of canon in any discussion, I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say.

So, are there any other accronyms that you use here that I should know about, or any strange etiquette rules regarding what you say to each other? What are the community projects? What are the common attitude towards off-topic comments?

Hopefully I'll start posting here regulary, but I wouldn't count on it.

Off-topic comments are generally accepted as long as they don't get too numerous, off-topic threads less so. Like this one

This used to be a thread for the Lounge, but it's gone now. You can get to know everything in the thick of the actual threads.

Welcome, by the way.

Hullo. I'm Ancient. Welcome. I'd like a minute to pimp my site <link is in the .sig>.

If you have any questions, dinnae hesitate tae ask!

Hi!

Before you post, use search to see if the topic has been covered, as it often is. Aside from that, welcome!

Welcome to the forums. Sit back, share a tale, get in an arguement, and try to ignore the dwarf burning in the corner. He told his mage girlfriend he was dumping her for a waiitress today and she didn't take it well.

Note that sanity is not required and it is actually preferred for you to leave it off the forum.

Let's see...I think I have the welcome pamplet outline somewhere around here...
Ah, yes...ok...

"1. You're wrong
2. That's not Cannon
3. Where did you get that number from??
4. And I care why?
5. Go ask Ancient History
6. No they didn't!
7. No, Dikote is not KY Jelly
8. If you want proof ask Doctor Funkenstein
9. BBB means Beer, Boobs, and Bullets
10. SCREW YOU #^&$*@&$*#(!!!!!
11.
12. Everyone wants to make a house rule, stop begging for attention
13. Don't touch that.
14. Ask the Taco
15. If you break something, blame Adam
16. Adepts are not demi-gods
17. We know that's broken
18. Don't ask "what", we just know.
19. Whatever you think you've discovered...you haven't...someone else here has.
20. What are you doing? Start a POLL!!"

Well, I think that covers everything around here. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Have fun.

Seriously though...welcome aboard. 'Tis a great place. Otherwise, we wouldn't fight so much.

And if you follow the path of wit, you'll find that I did mention the ally spirit sex with line 7.
"No, Dikote is not KY Jelly"

You guys are going to scare the newbie away.....


Seriously though, welcome to the insanity.

Welcome to DSF, please I hope you enjoy your stay.
You will find people here are as helpful as you just have to ask and you get all the input you need.

If you have time, play some pbp games. There are some awesome DM here.

Thanks for the response then.
I think I would've figured out most of the accronyms from that thread myself, eventually.
Don't put the squirrel away just yet, we haven't dikoted it yet.

I'll refrain from making social threads in the future.

Hey guys!
He has a sense of humor!
Alright!

"Hi all, I'm new to this forum, WELCOME ME!"

What is your problem?

Hey...take it easy on the guy.
He didn't know better.
Not everyone reads the Posting Guidelines.

Posting guidelines? what's that?

*pouts* I never got welcomed....

Welcome anyways

Also, if you ever see a thread on the Horrors, choose one of these two
1) Go Humans
2) Go Horrors
and just repeat it over and over again

The thing I said about making social threads was because of this early response:

Welcome to the boards.
