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.

    And I ruin these illusions almost every single thread by repeating the seemingly illegible “MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.” like a broken record.

    i am thomas Luther, Angry Young Man, Eldery Female, helpless Young Nurs, and probablyy some other people.
    i used to read muse, but then we stopped getting it. i grew up (a very little)(actually not at all)
    so i did muse for long, long while, before becoming addicted to the internets, specifically 4chan.
    i want to get away from all the filth and pornography without loosing the internet. so i will pop in and out of museblog as a sort of staging area away from addiction. i like muse, and promise to stay apropriate.

    • PoPo et al.:

      According to our records, you were on MuseBlog before in April and September 2007, when you posted in quick succession under the names bilbo, snake eyes, scall the dude, dr, dr. bashfull, beorn, tom bombodil, scallthedude, and nancy. After a long break, you returned to MuseBlog on May 28, and since then have posted under the names tomas luther, thomas luther, elderly female, young hopeless nurse, cult ladder, Bilbo, and now PoPo. Some of your posts, under the aliases Angry Young Man, some bloodsuckin crepe, dork, and glass jar, were hostile or provoking and have not been moderated.

      You’re welcome to participate in MuseBlog as long as you treat others here with respect and don’t make the Administrators’ jobs too difficult.

      It would be most helpful if you could post under just one name, it gets to be very very confusing. Capitalization would be nice, as well.

    Hi! I’m a friend of fireandhemlock1996, and she’s actually typing this right now, but we’re going to pretend that this is gingerkid talking right now.

    F+H: Yes indeedy. Ginger, say hello to MB. MB, say hello to Ginger. *grin* Yes, I know that MB is a website. But it talks to me sometimes. You know, all the funny letters on the screen….

    Nevermind that. XD But anyway…. right. Ginger, say hi to all the nice stalkers people.

    8 – Hi Ginger! Nice to meet you. I promise we aren’t stalkers!

    So, we may have another ‘phyte soon! My good friend Anya said that she’s thinking about posting here, probably under the name “nightrose.” She’s heard me talk about you all before and says this sounds like an awesome place. She’s sixteen, like me, and we’ve known each other since we were six. Same French class this year, same religious school classes, same class in fourth and fifth grade–we go way back :) Anyway, I know she’s going out of town soon and her parents like stealing her computer, so I’m not sure when exactly she’ll show up, but all the same.

    Who’s a nice stalker? C’mere, lil stalker! C’mon!

    There we go. Proof that Fire is a control freak :P
    Welcome to the blog, I’m sure that *controlfreek, yessss shee issss* Fire already briefed you (see, whenever someone says that, all I can think of is…you know what? Never mind. Just….don’t.) on the do’s and don’t’s (the cake!?) of the blog. You’d better come prepared – by this we mean having either a very low amount of brain cells or a very high amount, but not in between, sanity that most of your NORMAL friends question, and a really high tolerance level. Yup. Come on in and make yourself at home, have a seat in one of the cushy HTML chairs and watch the binary TV. Ok, I’m droning. Bye.

    Hi again! Why, yes, she is quite the control freak. But a nice one if any. I am probably going to be your worst nightmare when it comes to being random, because it’s hard not to be. Especially if you’re a nerd who is into Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, *some* Star Wars, etc……So thank you for the very nice welcome. Hope I meet a few random chaps on here like Fire. Because, might I say, she is just about as random as they come.

      Sorry, Fireh. I didn’t know not to address you as “Fire”. Btw- You’re not a control freak. I was just kidding. But, you are quite random (: Which you should be proud of.

    It’s okay. I know it just automatically fills it in the blank because you previously typed it. But, yeah….. I was looking on an older post, and you were there! It was you’re very first post if I’m not mistaken. I love to explore this place.

        No, you weren’t…. Well, I have no idea actually. This was the post in which you were saying, “I’m new on here!” So….. I have no way of knowing if that was your first, second, third, etc. post on MB. But, I’m sure you weren’t that bad….. *Sighs, knowing what the answer probably already is* Jk :D

    Welcome, gingerkid! I can see you’ll fit right in :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

    I’m trying to motivate my sister to come here as well, so expect a rant on autofill sometime soon when there’s suddenly a post about me doing ballet and playing the violin (as in without maiming or traumatizing innocent bystanders).

    Sorry, I had a problem here – I didn’t know for sure if you used Fireh as a name, I thought it might be someone else, and I didn’t want to sound stupid for asking. Obviously a bad idea :P
    And as for the control freak thing, I can tell. I am one. (JK!! It was a JOKE. Perhaps I should just take Gingerkid’s advice and say random from now on.)
    Didn’t mean to sound….rude, I guess, but now I know. My bad. There I go again, getting off on completely wrong note. I do that ALL THE TIME…crap.

      I’m sure she doesn’t mind….if it was a mistake. Right, Fireh? *Waits for a reply from fireandhemlock1996* ……. *Still waiting* ……. *Corny Elevator Music begins to play*….. Oh well, I suppose she doesn’t mind. It wasn’t a bad note, just a slightly random note. Which is perfectly fine to me.

    Sorry for posting so much. But, question. What is “Romance and Relationships, v. 2010.5”? I’m just a smig confused.

    • Silver Lining says:

      Ah, this was a question I had as a ‘phyte back in the days of yore…*ahem* Anyway, the certain thread you’re talking about is a thread devoted to (among other things) discussing, analyzing, asking/giving advice for MuseBloggers’ romantic relationships and such. If you’re asking about the jargon at the end, it’s how the GAPAs classify the more popular threads that we use up several times a year. So Romance and Relationships v. 2010.5 means Romance and Relationships version 2010, and it’s the fifth one we’ve had so far this year.
      Did that make sense? Anyway, welcome, Ginger! :arrow:

        The ending made sense, but I wasn’t sure about the beginning. Thank you very much for the welcoming, among the help! Fireh’s talked about how great you are, and I hope to become friends XD
