Hey Krevth! Welcome and enjoy the company of the best forum ever!

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:34 am

Hiya guys! Firenze's the name. I've been reading Housepets! for the past year after a friend of mine indirectly introduced me to it and I've grew attached to it since. This is probably the only webcomic I've devoted my time to, hehe (no hard feelings other webcomics). I've finally racked up the courage to join the forums on this particular day... I'm not sure why this particular day, but I'm here now and there's no turning back.

I'm not very fond of introductions, but here's a little tidbit about myself. I tend to be very friendly yet naive at times... not to mention overly apologetic, but I'm a pretty good listener and like to learn new things from other people. My favorite animals tend to be those of the canid species (raccoons, coyotes, etc), but I don't mind cats... I think. I also like to draw (and fail) and listen to music with catchy beats. There, now that's all finally over... I can't wait to be a part of the community. =3

Thanks Saturn! I feel welcomed already. ^^

Welcome to the forums, Firenze! We're all friendly here too!

Well, except Sleet, so you should fit in nicely! And I'm sure Sleet was joking when he/she said that, right Sleet?
Make sure to check out the forum games and the RPs and I look forward to seeing you around.

Also welcome to the other people I missed.

Hey, Firenze

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 1:06 pm

Hey guys! Thanks for the warm welcomes! I'm already loving this place already. ^^

And thanks for the warning Hlaoroo (I now know who to ~~avoid~~ talk to the most, hehe). There's gotta be at least one of those people around here, otherwise it wouldn't be a complete community.

A warm welcome to you Firenze (curious nickname choice) and to all the other newcomers.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 1:08 am

Welcome, Mr. Manhorse!

Hi Krevth, hi Firenze!

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 3:21 pm

And a hello to you three as well.

I see that you kinda got an understanding of my name choice, Cesco (sorry if it's a little misleading seeing where you're coming from, hehe). And thank you for the warm welcome, Mr... (oh geez! He has green font over his/her name!) Sleet! You're probably the nicest one I've seen so far.

That green font means that Sleet is a Global Mod. He/She has moderating powers in all parts of the forum and has the ability to ban excessive trouble-makers. The deep blue/purple names mean that someone is a section mod. They have power to moderate in only specific sections of the forum and cannot ban.

The entire moderation staff here are nice, so don't be afraid to ask them something. Sleet just happens to give a warm and inviting vibe whenever he/she comes around.

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 7:01 pm

Yeah I know; I was trying to joke around with that, but it seemed like I failed in doing so. ^^' But thanks for the clarification, JeffCvt. I can pretty much tell that everyone here is friendly, including Sleet. I won't hesitate to ask if have any questions.

So many new faces in such a short period of time.

Yes he is. Don't listen to Diss.

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 11:17 am

But it's in my nature to listen! ...except when there's food involved, of course. But many hellos to you guys as well. Thanks!

I was reminded so much of Truck when you said that

(I see why you chose him as your avatar).

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 12:54 pm

Haha yup yup! Truck is one of my absolute favorites in the comic (along with a small pawful of other characters). But pretty much all of them are lovable... with the exception of maybe one or two characters. ;3

matthew Wolf · Post by **matthew Wolf** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 7:53 pm

ya pretty much the onely person who isnt lovable is bino X3

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 10:25 am

There are many people who would disagree with that.

ArcFlight · Post by **ArcFlight** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 2:28 am

Hi, I'm ArcFlight. Not sure where or when I found out about Housepets!, but when I read the first one I found I just had to start from the first strip. An incredible journey later I arrived at Blood Loss, Jungle Fever; just minutes after it had been posted. Starting the fun task of filling time between updates.
I would have joined back at Terms Of Engagement, Jungle Fever; but could not think of a username at the time.
Housepets! is the only web comic, or even just comic, I have ever properly followed. Other than a few clicks of random every time I stumble across an xkcd link.

I'm not really in intros kinda person, and it is 6AM local when the comic updates, so I hope you managed to drag yourself through my self inflicted insomnia typing.

Dissension wrote:Diss is not nice.

From what I have seen, in the old comments and in the forums, you are as loveable as your avatar.

matthew Wolf wrote:ya pretty much the onely person who isnt lovable is bino X3

I'm sure there is something to love about Bino ... hmm ... maybe ... no, what about ... I'll get back to you next week/month/year.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 2:45 am

Allow me to be the first to welcome you to the forums, ArcFlight! Good to have you! I look forward to seeing you posting soon.

How did you come up with your username?

Bit of an aviation fan, thought flight would sound good with the right prefix. Arc came to mind and it sounded good. I have seriously only just now noticed arc, as in story arc. Now to figure out if that is a coincidence or subconsciously planted.

Fellow "flyer", huh? Well, welcome (pardon the weird sound combination), and hope you'll like it here! And indeed you're right, mods are loveable, except when you're breaking the rules (which is logical)

Hukley · Post by **Hukley** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 11:19 am

Welcome to the forums ArcFlight! Have fun!

Welcome to the forums Arc! Hope you continue using the forums as its always better to have more people on.

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 12:18 pm

Hiya ArcFlight! Welcome aboard! Wow... did I really just say that...?

Haha, don't worry. I also just noticed the word "arc" in that meaning ever since I started reading this webcomic; we all learn something a bit new here everyday. But you certainly have an interesting username!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your flight around the HP! forums. I really need to stop doing that...

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 4:26 pm

Welcome here ArcFlight!

Have a nice stay.

Good have read the entire comic before, I'm still doing it, instead, and the same is being for me about this being the only comic which I'm properly following. Housepets! it's just great.

ArcFlight · Post by **ArcFlight** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 10:29 pm

Thanks, VEB152, Hukley, Kyuubi Kitsune, Firenze, & Cesco.

Note to self: Think of more pun-proof usernames for future usage.

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 11:58 pm

Sorry about that ArcFlight. I didn't mean to offend ya with those terrible puns, especially if it's your passion after all. But that's probably the last you'll hear it from me... at least hopefully it's just me. ^^' It's certainly a pleasure to have ya here though.

ArcFlight · Post by **ArcFlight** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 12:12 am

No offense taken. Can't say it is a passion really. Would like to learn to fly when I can save up for lessons.
You would know if it was a terrible pun as, after being discharged from hospital, I would demand payment to repair my desk after my head slammed straight through it. The internet, in all it's wisdom, has taught me the definition of a terrible pun.

EDIT:....woops, had a minor problem on my end. And it's fixed.
Anyway, greetings ArcFlight. Welcome aboard!

if you're nice, I'll be nice in return.
