Welcome, darktomb! There's a lot you can do here, so know your place!

Mathias · Post by **Mathias** » Sat Nov 08, 2014 7:45 pm

Well.. Hi there! I've never really done an intro before (or a forum post that isn't college related for that matter). Not quite sure what to say, but here goes nothing. I'm naive, gullible, rather depressing, shy, and way too curious. I'm also rather scatterbrained when it comes to speaking in the open.. like this.. in a forum full of eyes.. Your eyes burn me and tear my soul asunder

..Ahem. Anyways, I'm more of a lurker, but I'd really like to try joining in on some of these discussions every now and again, if that's alright by you guys. But before I do that, would anyone be willing to answer some of my forum-based questions via some sort of messaging? I'm a bit confused about forum.. etiquette? Manners? Settings? ...Common sense? You'd earn my undying respect and admiration (Which may or may not be worth less than dirt)!

I've been hooked on Housepets! for a bit over a year now and thought it would be cool to sorta discuss and converse with some of ya forum goers. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to hit myself with the door while I make my way out.

Just be nice to others and they shall be nice to you!

Welcome to the forum!

Hey Mathias!

If you have any specific questions about the forum, feel free to PM any of the mods. You can easily tell who we are by looking at our names. We'll be willing to answer your questions should you have some.

You can also just ask in the Forum Rules thread if it's a question about the rules specifically.

Welcome to the forums, Mathias!

Welcome to the forums, Mathias.
Yes, it is fully okay if you contribute in discussions. You are even welcome to do so.

As it was already said, be nice to others and everything is fine. Jeff already posted a link to the forum rules, you can also find that link on the very top of every page, also when you compose a post. If you have questions, feel free to contact any of the staff members, we're here to help.

Hi, my name is Jay, and I will be undertaking a project to translate Housepets into Thai!

Welcome to the forums, Jay!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:26 am

Welcome, new people!

Matthias: Welcome! Feel free to join in and comment wherever you like. You'll be more than welcome.

As Jeff said, you can feel free to PM any mod with your questions. You'll know us by our dark blue or green names. If you're not sure how to PM, just click the PM button under one of our posts, or you can find the Private Messages link in your User Control Panel. There's also the forum rules thread as Jeff linked and also an Ask A Moderator thread for whatever other questions you may have so help is never far away.

I'm sure you'll get settled in in no time.

Jay: Hi! Welcome to the forums! Love the username! Are you as musical as it implies?

darktomb: Welcome! I look forward to seeing you around!

That depends on how you define musical...

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 1:23 am

Welcome to the both of you, Mathias and ds-al-coda.

And to those I've missed as well.

Post by **Render** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 5:45 am

Hello Jay, welcome. Have fun here on the forums.

I wonder how it implies music...

Post by **ArcWolf** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 10:34 am

Welcome ds-al-coda!
May your posts be many and may your time be jolly!

A coda is a notation in music that tells the musicians to return to a previous or previously unplayed section.

Don't panic.. Don't panic.. Remain calm.. The kind one is simply giving you a festive greeting and insightful information.
Respect others the way you wish to be respected
Respect others the way you wish to be respected
Resent others the way you wish to be resented... Wait, that's not how it goes..
^This is what my brain does. Could you imagine that party? I'd be so shaky and fidgety. You'd be left with a bitter taste in your mouth. No seriously. I would have knocked over the punch and soda. Then we'd have to resort to my supply of tonic water. Now no one is pleased!

Now that little piece of myself that is still sane would like to thank you for the greeting and advice!

@JeffCvt & Render & Hlaoroo
Oh, well, ya see.. My questions are more or less on how to phrase certain questions or comments so they can't be misunderstood. My other questions are of even less importance than that. I didn't desire to waste the time of mods.. Although it appears I have already..

Thank ya three for the info and welcomes! So not used to being allowed to talk to moderators.. Have to make a mental note of that

Also many thanks to Cesco, Saturn381, Amazee Dayzee, and Douglas Collier for the welcomes. Hope to see ya all in the forums some time later!

Always feel confident in our desire to be helpful. We are here because we want to be, and we enjoy talking with other members. If there ever came a point we felt there was not enough time to be a mod, we would simply step down and get someone new in.

If there is a misunderstanding, we'll work through it. Be unashamed in your inadequacies, for we all have them (seriously, many on the mod staff and off understand social anxiety). Be welcomed and enjoy.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 4:50 pm

Welcome to the forum ds-al-coda!

Have a good, long work with the translation you're doing.

That's all, Mathias. Turn off that darker side, take all easier.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 9:19 pm

Welcome to you ds-al-coda! Please have a good time here!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 9:20 pm

Obbl's right. The only way you could possibly waste our time is if you deliberately set out to be a nuisance and break rules. We mods are all active members of the community and enjoy helping out members and having fun with you guys. The scary rule-enforcing stuff is really only a small fraction of what we do and we only do that when we're forced. So never be ashamed or afraid to talk to us.

I'd have knocked over the whole table so you're in good company.

Sorry I hit the button twice by mistake, the keys on the iPad are too small for my uncoordinated hands. how do you delete repeated posts?

Mainly you should see an x button next to the red ! button, but since someone posted it might not be there, a mod should be able to remove it.

Also welcome to the forums, #9dysonsphere, and all the others that joined up! It is a pleasure to meet you all.

Welcome, Number9Dysonsphere! You will surely have fun here.

That's what I send by PM, but it's too late now for him to do it himself, so I'll just click that button for him.
