I'm a newb. I found this forum a long while ago and have been lurking in the shadowy shadows for some time. Sometimes I nod in agreement, sometimes I hold my hands up in horror, and occasionally I laugh out loud.

I also enjoy reading the threads...

Anyhow, my question:

I was taken by the December gift exchange idea - but as a lurker I haven't really contributed to the community - would it still be cool to participate?

Yours etiquettically challenged,

Rich

PS As a Brit, manners are *so* important to me [Wink]

The first rule of BB ethics is don't shoot birds no matter how much fun it seems.

A close second is don't shoot little Timmy. He bruises easily.

Taking part would be a great idea. What better way to get to know people on the board?

Welcome to Hatrack!

I agree--great introduction to the community. Welcome!

Welcome!

And don't worry. It's my impression that most of the participants in the gift exchange don't really know each other all that well. There are a lot of regulars who participate, and many regulars who don't, and there are quite a few lurkers who participate as well. You'll fit right in as long as you participate in the exchange threads like the likes/dislikes thread that will probably appear soon and the "WOOT! look what I got" thread that comes after. [Smile]

Welcome, and if you get my name I'm hoping for real estate. [Wink]

Posted by Euripides (Member # 9315) on :

Actually Karl the requests thread is already up. Better get in there and specify a minimum acreage. [Smile]

Posted by anti_maven (Member # 9789) on :

Thanks all.

My doubt is resolved and I *shall* go to the ball.

Catch you later!

Karl, as for Real Estate - how about an hotel on Park Lane?

3rd rule.

Its not a BB or Bulletin Board. Its Hatrack. Or in a pinch, Jatraquero, Papa's Place, or Casa Card.

But you don't have to call it a BB.

Dude, Dan. Everyone knows it's HatCrack, part of the Interwebnet.

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

I saw this thread and immedietly thought, "BlackBlade ethics? what?" [Confused]

I need to be less self centered it seems.

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :

BB, That was my first thought as well. I thought it was pretty nervy for a newby to be starting a thread questioning your ethics.

Jatraqeruo is a person, not a place. And much as I love Pop, the place ain't his.

Werd.

This thread is far funnier than it really should be.

Or I'm just a geek.
