Kerry Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Many forums have, some regard it as spamming ... as I'm a Newbie here, I was wondering that there is no newbie section here. Often, there is a forum or a section where Newbies can post their starting posts somewhere to introduce themselves and the elders can have a look at the ball boys so they can see whom to pay respect :D Now I've found out the hierachy myself :D but the lounge seems to be the only place where Newbies can have a rest - maybe there is some hesitation for newbies to post in a "serious" topic directly because of the danger being mocked. So as there is no newbie section here - is this a way to keep the little ball boys out? Edited November 24, 2008 by Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Very valid point Kerry. From what I recall most newbies have introduced themselves on various forums because there was no clear direction as to where they should do this. Maybe members of the big balls committee might care to take note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Voila - like one of those lovely touch feely corporate bodies I would like to declare that big balls committee listens to the little balls down on the shop floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Wow this was a very very quick reply! Thought it was just a stupid little suggestion from a newbie and now we even have it! Thanks loz Though being a newbie myself and having suggested this section I've figured out now how this forum works and I think I don't need to post here as it would be regarded as spam <_< Em ... I'm allowed to edit it though after some hours? Hm ... OK I'll get the chance ... Isn't this forum placed at the wrong position? I mean it's in the announcements. Wouldn't it fit better in the Lounge? Just a thought. And now I'm cowering myself quickly before I'll get the club on my head ...

loz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well it is an announcement of sorts - a new poster announcing themselves. Also the lounge already has a sub forum and I think it looks untidy with multiple sub forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK I thought Announcements has a touch of something official (aka we've introduced the new ruling breaking feature!) but a newbie introducing himself/herself is more chatter :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maksimov Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Blame Miroslav Klose. I saw the German flag and it got me thinking about a certain 3-3 draw... :D Edited November 25, 2008 by Maksimov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maksimov Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 When? Beg my pardon I do rarely follow what's happening with the German squad. Against Finland in the recent World Cup qualifying match. We lead the match three times and every time Klose managed to equalise. He looked absolutely useless for 95% of the match and yet he scored a hat-trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I wished them to lose in the qualifiers He's being MEAN, Kerry - he said that because you said "Dam it" which means "Block it up" - a dam is a structure that stops the flow of a river, like the Aswan Dam. You meant to use the mild swear word DAMN, which has a silent N at the end. See how joining this forum will improve your English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
