Newbie Adoptions v3.0

That's nice, Jedi_Learner.

But don't use markup codes, they don't work in signatures. Just type the URL, and it will automatically be converted into a link.

//EDIT: Hey! When I typed this, your post said "signature". Now my post looks stupid.

But putting information in your profile is of course a good thing too.

 

Hee hee!

You have spelt my name wrong. How could you?

I'll put the link in both my signature and profile. That should help some newbies find their way here.

Edit: Spelling mistakes

 

I would like to be put back on the adoption list to get me a new n00b.

I have had so much fun with my last one.

That I want to do it again.

 

Sorry 'bout that, Jedi_Learner.

 

I accept your apology Morgiane.

 

Excellent work DAN on the new place , thanks for writing up that lengthy PM as well. You can keep my services in writing for this place .

 

I think i am ready to be an adopter.
I think it would be a nice experience.

I would prefer a newbie to select me rather than I selecting a newbie.
"May the force guide them to me!"

List me on the free adopters list Thanks.

P.S.- Excelent work on this, Dan.

 

great job with the new thread dan!! it looks very well-done and im sure it will be very helpful to all the newbies

 

ummmm i would like to be adopted....by someone who is a fanfiction person and likes K/J stories...so...yeah...is that all I have to do?
yea...
Kyla

 

That's enough, yes.

If you don't want to wait till you're contacted by one of our free "oldbies", you can also look through the list and contact any of them. (To send someone a message, simply click on their username and then on the "Send Private Message" link near the top of the profile page.)

 

Wow, this looks great...

Well, I hate to say it, but the newbie I adopted last year hasn't logged in since October or posted since August. I guess I'm available. You'll usually find me in the Fanfic area, along with YJCC, FF Boston and New Hampshire, Star Wars Misc, TPM, and occasionally the Senate Floor and 3SA.

Aaaanybody?

 

Thank you to all of you for your kind words and encouragement. Also, thank you to all the new oldbies that have volunteered recently. You all rule, IMHO.

[b]Cam_Mulonus[/b]: ?[i]Then I have an idea. Maybe we should post in the welcome newbie posts, and INVITE them to try out the adoptions if they would like. That might work...[/i]?

I couldn?t agree more, my friend. [face_wink] In fact, this is what I totally suggest (check out the third post of this thread (above) under [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086&start=10253090][b][color=blue]Get Your Hustle On[/b][/color][/link]). [face_wink] [b][color=darkgreen]Newbies[/b][/color] are definitely out there; we just have to find them and re-direct them to the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoption Thread[/b][/color][/link] to make sure that they find us. [face_wink] Just yesterday, in fact, both [i][color=blue]amaunet[/i][/color] and [b]Skiara[/b] posted links to the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoption Thread[/b][/color][/link] in a few introduction threads and we now have two new [b][color=darkgreen]adoptees[/b][/color] as a result this. Thus, excellent work, you two! [face_wink] In terms of these [b][color=darkgreen]adoptees[/b][/color], one has already been paired up with an [b][color=darkgoldenrod]adopter[/b][/color] and the other?s adoption is pending. [face_grin]
[hr]
Also, as [b][color=white][hl=gray]Morgaine[/b][/color][/hl] stated, I?m right in the middle of a project that will hopefully get [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoption Thread[/b][/color][/link] linked in as many [b]JC[/b] forum introduction/index threads as possible. I essentially want to get the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoption Thread[/b][/color][/link] ?[i]hardwired[/i]? into the [b]JC[/b], so that we?ll be able to capture all those [b][color=darkgreen]newbies[/b][/color], who don?t initially start out in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/board.asp?brd=10181][b]WNU[/b][/link]. [face_happy] Thanks to [b][color=steelblue][hl=lightsteelblue]Kadue[/b][/color][/hl] we?re now linked in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=9384262&replies=86]Welcome to the Literature Forum[/link] (a few other links are pending elsewhere too). This little project is going to take some time though, as I essentially have to scout each forum, find an appropriate thread, write a statement about and with a link to the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoption Thread[/b][/color][/link] in the same style/format of the thread, and then submit that to the forum?s [b]moderator[/b] via [b]PM[/b]. But it is definitely something that I am currently working on behind-the-scenes. [face_happy]
[hr]
Last but certainly not least, welcome to the [b]JC[/b] and thank you for your request, [b]jainasolodurron[/b]. [face_grin] I?ve contacted one of our [b][color=darkgoldenrod]adopters[/b][/color] that enjoys fan fiction, especially [b]Jaina/Kyp[/b] stories; hopefully, she should be in contact with you soon. [face_wink]

[b][color=darkmagenta][u]Newbie Adoptions List:[/u][/color][/b][hr][/blockquote]
Hello, [b][color=darkgreen]newbies[/b][/color]! [face_grin] Are you feeling a bit lost? Are you intimidated by the sheer size of the [b]JC[/b]? Do you want to blend in quickly, make friends fast and avoid common rookie mistakes? Then you?ve certainly come to the right place! Here, in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10253086][b][color=darkmagenta]Newbie Adoptions Thread[/color][/b][/link], we have a collection of extremely talented and caring [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbies[/b][/color] who are dedicated to helping you learn the ways of our beloved [b]JC[/b].

So, come get adopted today! [face_wink]

[ul][li][i][u][b][color=blue]Newbie Adoption Co-ordinator[/b][/color][/i][/u]: If any adoption information changes or if problems arise, please notify me ([link=http://boards.theforce.net/user.asp?usr=706979][b][color=blue][hl=navajowhite]MASTER_OBI-DAN[/color][/b][/hl] [/link]) via [link=http://boards.theforce.net/user.asp?usr=706979]PM[/link] as soon as possible. [face_happy][/li]

[li][i][u][b][color=darkgoldenrod]Adopters/Oldbies[/b][/color][/i][/u]: To adopt a [b][color=darkgreen]newbie[/b][/color], you must be a registered [b]JCer[/b] for at least the last three months and you must have at least 400 posts to your name. [b][color=darkgoldenrod]Oldbies[/b][/color] may only adopt one [b][color=darkgreen]newbie[/b][/color] at a time; requests by [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbies[/b][/color] to adopt another [b][color=darkgreen]newbie[/b][/color] will only be heard via [link=http://boards.theforce.net/user.asp?usr=706979][i]Private Message[/i][/link] and granted with just cause. After you have adopted a [b][color=darkgreen]newbie[/b][/color], it is recommended (but not mandatory) that you both make notation of your relationship in their [b]signatures[/b] ([b]E.g.[/b]: ?[i]Adopter of [b][color=darkgreen]User B[/b][/color][/i],? and ?[i]Adoptee of [b][color=darkgoldenrod]User A[/b][/color][/i]?). Lastly, [b][color=darkgoldenrod]adopters[/b][/color] are encouraged let their [b][color=darkgreen]adoptee[/b][/color] progress at their own pace and to wait until their [b][color=darkgreen]adoptee[/b][/color] feels that they are ready to come move on and emerge from ?[i]under your protective wing.[/i]? [face_wink][/li]

[li][i][u][b][color=darkgreen]Adoptees/Newbies[/b][/color][/i][/u]: [b][color=darkgreen]Newbies[/b][/color] are encouraged to click on the names of free [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbies[/b][/color] and to look through their [i]user profiles[/i]. If a [b][color=dakrgreen]newbie[/b][/color] finds a free [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbie[/b][/color] who they wish to be adopted by, they are welcome to send that [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbie[/b][/color] a ?[i]Private Message[/i].? Alternatively, if [b][color=darkgreen]newbies[/b][/color] prefer, they can either wait for either an [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbie[/b][/color] to contact them or they can contact me via a ?[link=http://boards.theforce.net/user.asp?usr=706979][i]Private Message[/i][/link]? and I will pair them up with one of our extremely talented and caring [b][color=darkgoldenrod]oldbies[/b][/color], who shares similar interests.

Good job, Dan! All the stuff you've done is great. Now I need to find a newbie.....

 

lookin great Dan! and i saw that one of the newbies specified what kind of fan fiction that they liked so i thought i would say mine. im all for original pairings, obi-wan/any handmaiden, and some obidala. i am also a harry potter and lotr fan if that helps!

~bria

 

I just updated the JCC Guide to Better Posting with a link to this thread. Hopefully it will attract some recruits.

 

The link that you added to The JCC Guide to Better Posting looks absolutely perfect! Thank you so much, Bria!

Not a problem. Adopting newbies is a cool thing. I did it once and it was fun. Perhaps I will again when I have more time available.

 

I am Willing to Adopt. My specilty is Games:TCG&CCG so if there are any new card gamers that need some help send them to me!

D K U-

 

I have mentioned the Newbie thread on the Collecting board twice already, and posted the link on the "Collecting Forums Offical Threads" thread so hopefully that will bring more newbies this way.

 

Thanks Bria and MJF, that's really nice.


I have adopted WhiteHorse. Yes, I do realize he's an "oldbie", but he asked me to be adopted anyway.

 

OOps...I seem to have forgotten a couple of things...


I live on the East Coast of the USA.

I spend most of my time in the YJCC.

I am a member of several threads on the EUC.

I have been in the RPG forum...I co-run the Imperial Star Destroyer RPG.

I am a FF co-Pres.

I have been trying to learn other forums recently.

 

Yeap, it's almost like having a family.
I'm a adoptee of Morgaine, but will also have an adoptee of my own.
I will turn Morgaine into a "Grandma"
Isn't that sweet..

 

Dan, wonderful job with this thread! Keep up the good work.

 

hey, AG9...long time no see...how are you?

Looking forward to helping some more newbies this year...

But I will stand in line and be patient.
