Hi, I figured this might help clean up the clutter of the forum a little bit as well as make Seekers life as Official Newb welcomer easier. He can keep a better eye on new people if they all post in one spot!
So Welcome to the forum

Tell us a lil about yourself, what got your interest in lucid dreaming.. STUFF!
Also remember the one rule we have here is
Be excellent to one another!

I got interested in lucid dreaming after I've changed myself completely this september. I moved from science to spirituality/mystics and tried many things that were kinda taboo before.
About a week ago I had my first LD and a false awakening. It was so cool that i just followed a link from a www.erowid.org and discovered this great forum...

Lucid dreaming interests me because, well, I don't know. I kind of have a tendency to get into "bizarre" hobbies/interests. Yoyoing, rubiks cube, computing, language, culture, and <insert stuff I forgot and am too lazy to think of>.
welcome, oh eater of babies.
I don't think those hobbies are bizarre at all. interesting maybe, different. but not bizarre. then again, I don't find much of anything 'bizarre'. :-P
Does eating babies count?
WHERE IS THE EDIT BUTTON?????

Its not his JOB, we just decided to give him that title because he seems to be the one doing the most welcoming =)
And I do like the Topic idea!
my point is...if I were new to this forum, started a thread and saw someone welcome me with the title 'official newb welcomer' I wouldn't feel as welcome as if the members randomly welcomed me. I'd think well yeah, of course he's going to welcome me, he's the newb welcomer. I just...I dunno..and I really think we should have a SECTION for n00bs, where they can each make their own 'hi I'm new' thread...like in the Mortuary. it's very convieniant.
i agree, thats a pretty good idea (then there wouldnt be so many "hi im new" threads in the GD section)

Just kidding on that. They asked me because I am n00b friendly. Believe it or not, I am a nurturer.
I love to see some n00b stumble in here asking questions. I especially love to see their first 'I FINALLY DID IT!' post. I've watched several n00bs join up and do this.
I'll let all of you decide if it's a good idea or a bad idea to have a welcomer.
But, I'll keep doing it whether I have my stars or not. ( :( although I would miss them :( )

but now do you see what I mean? a new person just posted his thing, and here I am responding to you. think about it. this is messy, tacky, and ridiculous. sorry Seri..but that's what I think...it was a nice thought, though. but do you see what I mean? I think this sticky should be deleted soon...and I think we should talk to icedawg about making that section....
yeah crucible! enders game!! i was debating whether to put that or animorphs, but animorphs won... enders game kicks ass too though. have you read enders shadow?
its own section would be nice, but personally, when i first posted, i enjoyed seekers welcome. but even if i thought it was just routine i don't think i would have cared or been turned away.
Thanks adidas :)Quote:

I really do care and am thrilled whenever a new member signs on for the first time.
I like to think I can help. However :( there was one that joined a few weeks ago that I even exchanged a number of PMs with that I couldn't help :( .
You know who you are... please come back :cry:
aaawww, how sad
Hey I think Seeker makes the best welcomer any forum could have and if you all ever even think of taking his stars away, then IM OUT LIKE A SCOUT ON A NEW ROUTE.
And you can take that to the bank. Right Bob Marley! :goodjob:
I actually enjoyed the welcome by seeker :) It made me feel special and welcome.
Good job :goodjob:
nevermind....nevermind nevermind nevermind...I never said take his stars away...no I didn't...look...nowhere did I say that...but it doesn't matter...I'm just an idiot...a pointless idiot..why do I even bother..all I'm here for is everyones entertainment...so you can make jokes about muffins..and me being a big goth bitch...that's all I'm here for, right? just your toy..I give advice....whenever I can...but no one takes me seriously it just get's overlooked...
i love you.
ok..not sure if that was more sarcasm or what...whatever...
Um... I love you. And that's not sarcasm! http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif
Thats not a very nice thing to say about one's self. :shock: You are valued here and the board would not be the same without you. I take you seriously. You have a sense of humor and who knows, maybe you think people overlook the advice you give them because they always aknowledge the lighter stuff you say.
Nobody really takes me and many others seriously, but i dont let it get to me and neither should you! http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif
I value your input quite alot, and I think your idea for a Section for newbs is a very good idea gona see if we can make it happen =)
Paperdoll, we all love you! and you know it!
hey hows it goin? im sand
Hey,

I hope you enjoy your time here and i also hope seeker isn't mad at me for trying out his n00b Welcoming message... :wink:
Hope you find the forums to be user friendly :cookiemonster: Always wanted to use that emoticon. Oh and Dont mind the sarcasm around here. We really are kind people
hrm. first of all i and most of the others enjoy reading your posts.Quote:

secondly, everyone is an individual, thus will react differently and will have varying levels of receptiveness to Seeker's "obligation" to welcoming them. some will feel it is simply just that--his obligation; others, however, will relate a board having someone chosen to provide a cordial greeting as a sign that the board openly and actively seeks out and appreciates new people. regardless i've noticed quite a few individuals jump on the bandwagon and attempt to welcome new people before Seeker, which is certainly appreciated.
thirdly, holy crap, if you don't change your avatar it's going back to a block of cheese! :) HA HA! (it's of course your choice, being an individual, but that doesn't mean i won't have fun w/ you anyway.)
'k bye
oh, i totally forgot to respond to the main issue on the table: a forum dedicated to new people.
I'm all for this, save for one potential issue: I don't want people recurrently responding to posts from new people that neglect to use the newbie forum with, "This should have been posted in the newbie forum." If you must you can casually suggest this, but not without also providing something additional to the reply. Sound good?
'k bye
I don't think that would be a problem. I wouldn't say "this belongs in the newbie forum" I think it should just be there in case newb want to post there...if not, who cares. right? people?Quote:

Not sure about the others, but they worked for a company called Complier(sp?). Anyway, the project was a sludge burning oven. Huge, complex
My friend Ronaly was always trying to draw me into interesting mathematical discussions. VERY bright guy. He lived in the USA for a few years, but I think he has gone home now!
sorry dont know that company and if ill ever see him ill tell him you say hi:)
well amsterdam is pretty far awayfrom where i live :D
