Where Did All These New People Come From?

I was just browsing the forums when I realized that I didn't know half of the people who were posting. There are all these new faces and, despite the fact that many of them have more than 30 posts, I can't say I've ever even seen them before.

Is it just me ignoring new people, or did they all somehow manage to post like crazy in the last few days without me ever noticing?

Maybe you recognized me that late, cuz I just post every 2-3 days in a topic. I can't read all this stuff so I jsut read Threads with interesting Topics(not very much ;)

But dunno what's with the others

Yeah, I've never seen you, bloody nose (and I'm sure I would've remembered getting annoyed by the 0's instead of o's in your name). I kind of recognize your avatar, but it's so trendy that it's difficult to tell if it was you.

At least I'm not reassuring myself that I'm in the dominant position, eh, Fangus?

And that is OCD. You're probably thinking of OCPD, in which people don't repetitively perform actions.

By the way, Stan doesn't wear sandles, he wears moon shoes. Last I saw, Funktopus had the sandles.

Need I explain exactly who failed, or have you figured that out for yourself yet?

It was, but I still don't 'know' who Vicht is, who Unlucky 13, who grand_diablo is (aside from the fact that hes a moderator), and the others. All I know about those is that they are commanders. I've heard of them, if that's what you mean, but I'm pretty much detatched from the whole forum act.

Feeling a bit like tfs here. I haven't been on for a month, come back on, and there are so many new names, and I have zero clue to who they are. Not that I mind, but it's bemusing, if that's the word. I really knew some of the old group, like Hitman or Eyic and so on, who I actually discussed things with. Be interesting to see who out of this lot will be here in a year, eh? Who will be the new oldies...

Hee, that'd be because I came in while you were away, as did Vij. Not knowing grand_diablo is kind of hard to believe, unless of course you don't download maps.
- Be interesting to see who out of this lot will be here in a year, eh? Who will be the new oldies...
I'm staying for as long as possible, and I've been here a year already. Not going to be too hard to stay another.

Aquarius
July 15, 2005, 10:38 am
Usually I recognize new people by their avatars, not by their names. But when they change their avatars 3 times a month... ;o

I mean, when SuperKill changes his avatar, it's still SuperKill for me. When a new guy changes his avatar, he becomes a completely different person for me. Newbs, don't change your avatars untill you have ~500 posts ;)

I'm not talking about knowing people, that's a little difficult to do on a forum where everyone is so crazy about not going off-topic; I'm talking about knowing of people. For instance, I know enough about almost everyone that has posted in this thread (with the exception of bl00dy n0se, Taal, and Captain Ben's fanboy) to the point where I can recognize who you are and I have a general understanding of your character. Contrarily, there are a bunch of new people who post mostly in the Soldat Talk section that I can't recognize at all.

That normally wouldn't be a problem, but there are little things that get on my nerves. Like the fact that older members will joke around with them, and the new people will take them seriously. Or how they act as if I know who they are but I can't tell the difference between any of them.

I'd like to think that I'm becoming reasonably well-recognized and tolerated around these parts. And I think I'm due for an up-ranking pretty soon, incidentally.

Either way, I'm likely to be sticking around for quite a while. I've grown fond of this place.
