Are you new to MuseBlog? You must have questions, and we’d like to meet you. Make this thread your first stop for pie and advice.
For starters, we recommend that newcomers (that’s what “neophytes” means) look over The Rules and The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog).
Next, if you’re so minded, 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.
Welcome neophytes. Enjoy your (permanent
) stay….
Enceladus, stop scaring off the ‘phytes!
Welcome neophytes! Someone on the Chatterbox may be coming soon, so you know.
I hope she comes soon.
LittleBasementKitten, thanks for the symbol info! : arrow : (seeing if i got it right) : )
That’s Bunnified.
wrong! what button do i press! : .: : ! :
It’s space, colon, arrow, colon, space.
never mind!
i got it! 
Do you like InuYasha? My li’l sis is obsessive about that series. SIT!!!!
Welcome, Inu-chan!! (I already said welcome to you on the Manga thread, but welcome again!!) If you have any questions/concerns/NICE comments about MB, feel free to say them here. (By the way, don’t be a intimidated by some of the strange customs we have here…they seem really weird at first, but that’s why we’re MuseBloggers!!)
Yep. I’m from the Chatterbox.
Welcome! I’m sorry, I know this isn’t the funnest way to be greeted, but–would you mind changing your name, or at least adding another distinguishing word to it? We already have a Luna the Lovely, and calling you both Luna will get really confusing.
Anyway, we’re glad you’re here!
“Funnest”, Tesseract? You should know better. The correct term is “most funnest”.
Welcome, Luna, Jr.! You will have to change or modify your name, unfortunately. Maybe we could call you LL? I’m sure you can think of something good.
How about “Lovey Lunegood”?
Sorry, I couldn’t think of the correct term, so I just used the first thing I thought of. I should’ve known that it was “most funnest.”
Haha, it got my point across anyway.
Something like that happened to me. Someone called themselves Bubbles, and then, minutes later, I called myself bubbles, utterly oblivious to the other posts. Bubbles, the first person, was changed to Syllabub, but I hear en also goes by sequoia lately.
Hello, Luna Jr.!
Hey, I know you! Welcome!!!
finally! Your here!
Just to see if i can do this……
8) 
Wait, what Chatterboxer are you?
The one who made a post about going on the MuseBlog, likely.
Welcome! It’s me, Cara C., also known as CC. Don’t forget to watch out for the
s!
I have a friend who people call CC. But her name is Chloe.
And, Luna and Inu-Chan, don’t forget the
s (colon idea colon)… 
. So I’m not accused of scaring neophytes, Welcome! 
Hi Luna! Are you a fan of Harry Potter?
If you are, then me too! 
Don’t worry, it’s a friendly 
pie. OR IS IT????
okay… hi luna! I’m a neophyte too! Only issue is I have no idea what to comment on other than this… yeah.
What do you mean you don’t know what to comment on? If you’re saying that you don’t know how to comment on any other thread but this, it’s perfectly acceptable to explore a little and post wherever you see fit. Maybe this will help you when you’re posting:
Try not to jump into the middle of a thread and post something completely unrelated, unless it’s the Random Thread, of course. Reading the previous ten to twenty posts before you jump into a new thread is usually pretty helpful so that you know what’s going on. If you still don’t understand, it’s usually ok to ask someone. Most of us are pretty friendly. Maybe observing some threads from a distance that you’re interested in will help you become more comfortable? (By the way, these are all just little tidbits I’ve picked up from past experiences. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to use them to solve your “issue” but they’re still good to know for future reference for yourself or any other neophyte who reads this.)
thank you. I’m just a bit unsure is all. I suppose once I start joining threads I’ll get used to it.
Yes. It sort of becomes second nature after a while, and it will for you, too. Just try a little at a time until you feel totally comfortable.
Hey, welcome!
soccer starr has good advice. 
Hello all! *pies all neophytes*
Hi UpinDown! Do you mean subject-wise you don’t know what to comment on? This thread is to ask questions about things your not sure of. You can also check out the Hitchhikers Guide to MuseBlog (H*G*2*M*B) for smilies codes & other stuff.
Yummy pie!!!
thanks for the welcome everyone!
UpinDown-Yeah, It took me a little to get used to blogging too. Don’t worry.
Welcome, UpinDown!
Welcome!
Welcome Inu-chan and UpinDown!
Hello Neophytes! Hope you enjoy your stay here at the blog! You’ll get used to the insanity fairly quickly.
Thanks for the welcome!
Really, Sunrunner? Will I really?
There’s just so much of it that your brain has no choice but to rationalize it as normal. But there’s a question I have to ask you: do you believe in Austria?
I’m not complaing, but how long does it take for the adminastrators to aprove your acount? I signed up about a week ago.
Account? A chess account? That’s the only thing for which you need an account.
You can’t get one unless you’ve been blogging for 6 months.
Okay, thanks. *puts it on February calendar*
Hi all I’m new here and one of my friend’s sister told me about Muse Blog and that I should try it out. They told me to post on welcome neophytes so that’s what I’m doing. Unfortunately she didn’t tell me what her screen name is so I have no idea who she is…all she told me is that she hasn’t posted in a while because she hasn’t had much time. anyway I’m not really sure what to say now so I guess this is it.
Hi, CC, welcome to MuseBlog!
Thank you!
Welcome!
Hey, welcome to MuseBlog!
Hi, CC, good to see you.
Hey CC! Welcome to MuseBlog! We shall have to find out who it is… A mystery! *is excited* Anyway, WELCOME PIES!!!
I think the mystery thing was kind of the point…I mean, I did ask her but she just changed the subject. So I guess I will keep trying to get it out of her and let you know! I like mysteries too.
Oh, I just glanced at these posts and I think I may know who it is!! But it’s a very recent post and she said she hadn’t been on in a while…hmmm.
Welcome!
Who do you think it is?
It might be fireandhemlock, she wasn’t here for a couple weeks.
I don’t know whether or not POSOC is a boy or a girl, but it
soundedlooked like POSOC knew CC.Nope. Not me. I do have a friend who might/might not be coming on here, but I don’t think that CC is him. Plus he hasn’t said anything about it since the last time I actually saw him in person (which was spring, May I think). And I am not his friend’s sister. He’s my bf. But it looks like it may be POSOC.
No, it’s not me. I’m a male*, and I’ve never seen CC before in my life.
*Ah, the joy of these years when you’re not sure whether to say “boy” or “man…”
Ok. Having eliminated all suspects, we must now start over? Hee, hee!
Argh! I try and use “male,” but I can never stick to it…
Not me…
Welcome CC! I’m known as CC on the Chatterbox so things might get a little confusing. But confusion is good!
Sometimes.
I think it might be Soccer starr because she’s really into soccer and she always spells starr with two r’s on the end. But that’s a totally different story…anyway, I’ll have to ask her to confirm the next time I see her (Actually, I think I might just call her now…I honestly am so bored that this might be the most interesting part of my day!) because I’m not positive. Soccer starr, if it’s not you I apologize! I’m only a little confused because she said that she hasn’t been on in a while and that comment was recent…maybe she didn’t say that and I’m just going crazy? (I always feel like I’m going crazy though…) OK, I will call her now and let you know.
Also,
I’ve never known POSOC or fireandhelmlock1996 in my life. (Well, I don’t think I have at least, but you never know!!)
Well, where do you live?
I live in New Jersey. How about you? Anyway, I called and found out who the mystery girl is on the blog. Sure enough, I was right it’s Soccer starr! I told her to blog around this time, so hopefully she’ll post on here sometime soon…
I’m a Tennesean.
Yes, CC, it’s me. Sorry I never got a chance to post the other day, but my sister had an event. (You probably know which one I’m talking about!) Anyway, welcome! I’m glad you decided to join MB.
I’m and Illinoisan, home of flatness and a really big lake.
I’m, er, from Connecticut.
I mean
I guess that’s enough…..
I was just wondering, how did the
come into existiance?
There are many different ways to answer that question, depending on exactly which
you are talking about (magazine? computer monitor? Bunny Apocalypse threads? etc.) and whether it’s singular or plural. I’ll leave them all to your fellow MBers.
Bunnies are crazy little creatures disguised in cute furry outfits. THEIR INTENTS ARE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!! Don’t fall for their cute little faces like I did!!! (jk i really like bunnies i just have this problem where i always think of Fibonacci whenever i see a rabbit)
Answer #1: The Muse editors created them to end the cat/dog lover arguments. They put the bunnies in the place of any words having to do with cats/dogs in people’s fan mail.
Answer #2: They are mutant rabbits from an evil science experiment.
Answer #3: They are malicious aliens from outside this galaxy.
As well as many other theories that MBers come up with…
(30, 31) You can find out more technical information about the bunnies here.
The original bunnies in the magazine came from a type font called “fb_animark” on a Japanese site called FREAKyBUNNy. You can see the proto-bunnies and a couple of bunny variations (along with cats, birds, bears, frogs, turtles, fish, and pandas) at the URL

Thanks!

I’m bored, so I’ll try……………………………………………………………………….. [Trimmed for sanity. –Admin.]
Sorry, but could you not do that in the future? It makes my computer get off-track. Sorry if that offended you.
I’ve clipped it, Kiga.
I see you zapped my comment too… Good idea. I’ll be more responsible in the future.
Yes, yes it does.
41.1- Admin- But insanity is fun!
I solemnly swear I will not take over this thread with hordes of homicidal bunnies which scare ‘phytes and must look truly scary on the recent comments bar, and to be more responsible in future… *attempts to look penitent**fails*
Hello everyone…and HELLO fireandhemlock1996. I’m finally here per your request
Hint: I live in SC. Now you should really know who I am.
Welcome!
That hint was unnecessary, you know. I got your email. Now shoo and post on some other threads. And stay here this time. Hmm?
Welcome! I guess you know fireandhemlock1996?
Yes, we know each other. (know? who am I kidding, soetimes it feels like we’re siblings. *catches glare from IO* tome, at least ) he’s posted before as ceiling fan man I think, but he didn’t stay around very long.
