Howdy, stranger! You new around here? Come right in! We’ve got some pie waiting for you, and friendly locals ready to answer your questions and help you feel at home.
For starters, we recommend that newcomers (that’s what “neophytes” means) look over The Rules and The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains more helpful information than you can shake a stick at. We don’t know why you’d want to shake a stick at it, but now you know you don’t have to bother.
Don’t forget to stop by Who’s Here (see the menu at the top of your screen) and announce your arrival in a comment there, so we’ll be sure to add you to the official list.
MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.
First post? Anyway, welcome noephytes in advance!
Second post??? I’m new here.
2- Welcome, then! Since the point of this thread is to welcome new people, and you are a new person, I am therefore welcoming you!
What kind of pie is this? (Just curious.) Do I taste chocolate on my face?!?!?!?!?!?!
Welcome Cyndi!
Here’s some of my awesomely awesome chocolate kiwi cream pie. 
Thank you!!! I will lick it off my face. Yum!!!!!!!! Except for the chocolate. (I don’t like chocolate.) Now show how horrified you are right below this comment.
Welcome, Cyndi! :>:
Oh yeah… here’s some pie for you too!!!!!!
Hmmm… didn’t work too well… I’ll try again!!!
Yay!!!! Thank you for welcoming me with your wonderful pies. Here are some more for your faces!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Sometimes I go a bit pie-crazy. Has there ever been a pie fight on MuseBlog???)
Here is the piewars thread:

Join Team LR!
I did! I was on Team FELL but everyone ignored me so…
Has there ever been a pie fight? There’s almost always a pie war going on, usually on a specified pie war thread. Welcome, by the way.

Welcome Cyndi!
Those were non-chocolate pies, by the way. 
So, tell us a little bit about yourself!
Welcome, Cyndi!
3.1- Banana cream, of course! It’s traditional!
7.1- Of course. There’ve been about fifteen threads just for pie fights.
*Sniff, sniff* No thank you. I’m sorry that you are horrified that I do not like chocolate.
Heyzorz, Cyndi. Welcome to Museblog 2.0. We recently had a large system malfunction involving a couple well-trained computer geeks with malicious Trojan virus codes. (Translation: A couple big fat jerks put up illegal ads, and then completely wiped MB.) But… thanks to Robert Coontz, Rosanne Spector, Paul Baker and Rebecca Lasley, our resident-partly-evil GAPAs, our beloved blog is back up. Yay, HTML! Let’s have a cheer for the Admins.
Anyways, have a good time, don’t be shy or the bunnies’ll getcha. (They can sense fear) Here are some peanut butter-doughnut- sour apple-chicken-pot-pie-pies.

Oops. Bunny has no arms.
It looks a bit like an owl.
Like Sepulchrave if he was an HPB.
Welcome, Cyndi!!!!!!
Thank you!!! Here are pies for you too!!
I’ve been to the first blog once but never this one
Welcome back to ‘teh pwnage’ !
Cyndi, is your real name ‘Cyndi’? and do you live in MA? I have a friend who doesn’t like chocolate. You might be them!
Do you like choklit?
No it’s not. I live in CT, too.
(And) no. I don’t like chocolate OR choklit. Sorry.
Mason: It’s very new, so that’s unsurprising. I think we’re all still getting used to it. PASTRY DELIVERY SERVICE!
Hi, i’m new. I AM A CHOCAHOLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really 
love 
smileys.
I
Are you the same Beeteles as the one on Chatterbox? If so, then welcome mon amie! If not, then welcome neophyte!
PS
Is genuinely hated and thought of as an idiot. Try using 
or 
SFTDP
You need 2 spaces for smilies. (with ‘ ‘ instead of ‘space’
:mrgreen:spacespace:mrgreen:
Do you like the Beatles? Welcome!
It’s Mr. Joe in disguise! Ahhhhhhh! *runs around screaming* *notices name of thread* *calms down*
Welcome, Beetles!
Welcome, Beetles!
(Pies are our traditional way of welcoming new people, if you don’t know that.)
21- Whenever I see your avatar, I want to pet its nose….
She’s a bit nervous about strangers, but I’m sure she’d let you pet her. That is, unless she is in a playful mood and starts kicking you with her back feet and biting.
Ha sounds like my cats! I love cats… They’re neat and they can take care of themselves. (Unlike dogs)
I do believe a HPB goes here…
Yes, I really do like the Beatles.
Thou art Amblystoma Maculatum’s brother, art thou not?
Cool! Me too! I’m obsessed with the Beatles!
Sorry for the double post.
Yes, I am the same Beetles.
w00t! I now know 4 MBERS IN REAL LIFE!
Of course, now they’ll know my secrets….
Why did I type 4? I mean 2?
Welcome, Beetles!
4?! Wow. I only know two.
Sorry, I meant 2. I don’t know WHERE I got 4.
I like the Beatles too…
WELCOME BEETLES!!!!!
You should get an avatar, by the way. It’s fun! I like changing mine to the occasion. Like my suit (current avatar) is for the May Day Ball!!!!
((I’m pretty new here too, so join the neophyte club!))
Welcome, Beetles! Have some blueberry pie and explore the blog!
24.1 ect.- I know three, though none of them is on anymore (and two of them were only on for two days or so). Well, actually, four if Fudge Dude can be counted as an MBer…
Welcome, Beetles!
I don’t know any MBers in real life, sadly… but I’ve had several dreams about meeting various MBers. One involved riding a rocket skateboard around the upper floor of my school.
28- Where do you live? (I’m not a stalker, I just want to know if a kokonvention would be remotely possible.)
(SFTDP)
22.1- Aw. Is she your cat? *pets cat*
How do you get specific avatars?
30- Yup, her name is Shadow.
31- Go to gravatar.com and sign up, they will send you a confirmation email in a minute, then you upload a picture and voila! You have an avatar.
My kitty’s name is Shadow. Well, one of my cats, anyways. She’s very pretty. (Your cat, I mean.)
Welcome all neophytes! I’m one too…
…but I joined in late April so that thread sort of ran out.
why the double post, Kig? Hehe can I call you Kig, Kig?
Well, I sent 33, coincidentally ending it with an elipses or however you spell them, and then I decided I wanted to make the postscript so I did. Yes, you can call me Kig.
Kig the Pig? Just kidding, Kig! *stares accusingly* YOU STARTED THE SWINE FLU! KIG THE PIG! Hehehe pleez dont kill me im just jokin’ Kig k?
Um…I lost you when you started accusing me of starting the swine flu…
don’t worry. I know you were just joking.
I really want to get a new avatar, but I don’t know how. Could someone tell me?
See post 32
I got a wung! He looks like this:
( ^_^ )
Isn’t he cool!
He’s very cool. I would change my avatar, ‘cept I like the one I was given. Maybe later. Welcome to all new squid! (sorry, I call everyone squid.)
WHAT ARE WUNGS?! If I knew what they were and had to choose a smiley like that, it would be V(*o*)! He’s doing a “peace” sign with his hand on the left! V(*o*)! No one can steal my smiley for their wungs! The wungs are Japanese smileys, did you guys know?
39-No one knows, exactly, though it’s generally agreed that they’re small, fuzzy, and cute. However, there’s a thread to discuss them on, which can be found by using the search box (I’m too lazy to link it).
cool! I want one!! Her name will be Sarabelle and she is V(*o*)!
Fireandhemlock? Is that you? It’s me, CC. You know, from the Chatterbox? I thought that I’d try the Museblog. Any help with navigating?
Oh, and hi, Kiga_827!
Hi to you too! Wow, my coming over here has really inspired a lot of other people…
Welcome to the blog!
Collective welcome to all neophytes!
Fireandhemlock: Here’s the link for the Wungs thread: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=2014 and if you want to know how I made that into a link, go to: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1395
Welcome to the blog, all!
My friend wants to join MuseBlog.
Is en ellocowy?
What? Definiton, please.
Wait, never mind. And no, my friend is not ellocowy.
Hi, I’m new here. I am friends with Silver Lining.
Welcome, Pho!
Have fun at MuseBlog!
Hello. *friendly pies*
Hi PHO! *pies* *
*
Does PHO stand for anything?
No, it’s her nickname.
hey! I’m a first timer here…so yeah!!
ok, I’ve finally got a question for you Muse veterans: how do all these threads work? before I just randomly clicked on 1 but is there any organized way that they work? just wondering…thanks!
Umm… There are different categories, and when you first open the blog page it shows the random thread, then the -phytes thread, and others threads in order. If you’re looking for a particular thread, use the search box. The newest thread are always posted on the upper right.
Remember: you have to read 10-20 of the preceding comments and the top of the thread before posting. Try to avoid double posts in future: just think about what you want to say first and then hit submit. You can use the preview button to see what your comment will look like.
*likes books too* *pies*
Sometimes it helps to lurk on a thread a bit before posting (i.e. if you’re unsure about something). Except here, that is.
Welcome all!
Howdy, ya’ll! *pies*
53- Lurking is a wonderful way to avoid irritating the old-timers. Unless you like being yelled at by overprotective MBers. You could always yell back, but I’ve found that works not at all, so maybe not.
Please read the previous posts. It is kind of annoying to read an idea that was already said, or something that makes no sense in the discussion. Though everyone is entitled to mistakes occasionally.
GAPAs, could this thread be moved above the random thread? Many ‘phytes don’t go here when they first arrive; they just start posting.
This thread’s sole purposes are to make neophytes feel welcome and answer their questions if they ask any. No one is required to post here.
I understand that; I just think that welcoming them should be the first thing we do when they arrive. Y’know, to make neophytes feel welcome and answer their questions if they ask any.
Well, normally, it would be just below the Random thread, but for some reason the H&H won’t budge.
Well, the tearoom obviously feels it is of higher social status, and for good reason at that. However, obstinacy is not a becoming quality to have. I shall have to speak to it and convince it to behave.
hey i just came back!!
i just pop up every once in a while i suppose
things are looking a bit diferent around here!!
