Title: Greetings, all!
Post by: Pelar on May 20, 2010, 06:55:22 pm
Hello, everyone. :)

I'm another HIB newcomer- I just started poking around on the forums after I finished the game to see if there was some extra content and thought I'd join in on the community fun. It's all been said before, but Aquaria is pretty fantastic. Gotta love a good metroidvania style game with a driving plot behind it.

Thanks for the great game, Alec.

Anyways, looking forward to talking with some other Aquaria fans. :)

Hii fellow Humble Bundle Person. ^^; We're going to be great friends some day. (^.^)n

Welcome to our forums! Though really apparently some of the older members would've preferred you introducing yourself in the Introduce Yourself! (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=18.0) stickied topic. :3

I think it's silly, really. I mean, how are we supposed to know if we've just joined, right? ^^;

Hello, nice to meet ya. :)

Sorry about that, didn't mean to circumvent the normal way of doing things.  Hopefully it doesn't bug anyone too much.

Well it doesn't bug me, since I did the same thing. ^///^

It's just... we really don't need a new topic for every new person. And almost every forum I've gone to has a proper introduction forum so that's the first thing to search. However a PM when you join with a link to the introducing topic would be a bit kinder and more logical.
So all in all we can't really blame you.

Because I can still blame people if I want to.   ;)

There was nothing wrong with my sentence thank you very much.

Either way, welcome to the forum, it's great that you liked Aquaria.

There was nothing wrong with my sentence, but I realize that FYT is sometimes used to express the idea a person had about what another person said by changing the quote to reflect the quoter's idea. I will not be offended by this and shall continue going about my post, thank you very much.

Yeah I still don't like you quoting my posts and just changing random things in there and go FYT, it's annoying. You could just out your own opinion by yourself.

Heh. Thanks for the understanding, Alpha and Zoko.

Ooh, Let me translate, alpha. ^.^

Either way, welcome to the forum, it's great that you liked Aquaria.

FYT is sometimes used to express the idea a person had about what another person said by changing the quote to reflect the quoter's idea, but I completely understand that you prefer seeing opinions added to the bottom of posts.

FYT

By the way, are you upset with me, Alpha? I get the feeling that you are, somehow. :S

Just a bit post frenzey, nothing wrong with that, more life on forum is nice. I'm just grouchy, should probably stop posting, but then I'd get behind on all the posts and feel left behind. ;~;

Aww, is something wrong? :(

I think Alpha's got a bit of "old man on the porch get off my lawn you damn kids" syndrome that he's honestly repressing quite well. His quiet little forum has all of a sudden been invaded by a group of VERY talkative newcomers.
Title: Re: Greetings, all!
Post by: Lady-Succubus on May 21, 2010, 03:00:14 am
Orr maybe he's trying to be as talkative as the newcommers, but adapting slowly? ^.^
Title: Re: Greetings, all!
Post by: Knight on May 21, 2010, 03:06:03 am
Either way, I hope the chattyness doesn't drive you into hiding, Alpha. I, for one, like having you long-timers around to talk to.

Post by: Alphasoldier on May 21, 2010, 03:08:26 am
Well that's nice, Knight. I guess I could compare myself to Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino a bit.
But yeah, suddenly this forum has life again and I was usually up to date with this forum, it's just suddenly a huge adaption when a forum you want to be up to date with and still has been slowly dying suddenly requires this much attention.

Us new peoples appreciate the welcome, to be sure.

Trust me, I can sympathize. I have exactly one forum I've ever been active on, other than this one, and it's been a fixture in my life for the last... good lord, seven years now? At the start, I knew everyone and read every post, but now... I mostly pick-and-choose what I keep track of. I may be the excited newcomer here, but over there, I'm the old man on in the rocking chair on the front porch.

I abandoned a forum because I was going crazy trying to keep track of everything. ^^;

Nuu! We like you! D:

Now you know how the Creator felt when everything he made went evil and started killing each other. =^.^=

Hey, at least you'll go crazy from too much activity instead of too little. Dead forums aren't much fun.

You can't go crazy from too little activity. You'll just start looking for other things.

*pats on the back*

The thing is that me, Alpha and Xiagan are currently the most active older members around. There used to be a lot more older members around, and I think Alpha is just adjusting from this forum being populated by mostly older members to mostly newer ones.
Title: Re: Greetings, all!
Post by: Lady-Succubus on May 21, 2010, 05:01:52 am
I hope he's adjusting to me okay. :/
Title: Re: Greetings, all!
Post by: Zoko on May 21, 2010, 05:11:04 am
You're a pleasure to adjust to!   :)

It's not the individual members, it's just all the activity that's coming from you guys. A month ago, we were a bit hostile to new members, now that our members are becoming more... human, we had to change our attitude.

You guys do post a lot, look at how fast your post count is rising!

Yeah, he's lucky he wrote multithreading capabilities into me... otherwise he'd be bored with no one to talk to. ^.–
