Newbie Adoptions v3.0

I don't have any links next to my name. TIme to change that! I hang out at the:
YJCC
Communications
RPG Forum
Ampiteatre

I don't think I spelled that right...

I gotta thank jediknight88 as well. He adopted me and taught me the ways of the JC.

 

Question: How are the newbies supposed to know what JCC and another abbreviatons mean?

Good point.

I usally post in YJCC "Your Jedi Council Community" and EpIII Spoilers "Episode III Spoilers Forum."

I hope that helps.

 

Good question Admiral_Thrawn60, Newbies can find information on abbreviations here.

 

OK, I think I will conceade that I may still need to be adopted. I still have many dumb questions to ask, any takers?

 

I would like to adopt you JediDBM, it would be a pleasure to.

 

You won't be sorry.

 

OK, everybody, I am now a Padawan to Jedi_Learner May the Force be with him

 

AT60, I have an Abbreviatons Guide in the works. I'll finish it as soon as I'm healthy again.

Congrats to all our new "padawans" & "masters".

 

Thanks Morgaine.

 

Thank you Morgaine, feeling better?

 

I'd love to adopt a newbie. Please put me on the list.

 

You are a newbie.

Is it possible to be adopted by two different people, I really hurt somebody's feelings by not asking them to adopt me, when they really did help me a lot in the very beginning. They helped me out in many different ways, and when I decided to be adopted I just posted a message on this board and was adopted in a matter of a few minutes. I dont want to ask my present adopter to step down, that wouldn't be right, besides sometimes when I need help one may not be on while the other is. Is this a possibility?

 

Judging from the past adoptions I'd say yes. It looks as if maggie_may has two. Master_Obi_Dan would be the one to ask for an official word. I've seen your progress in FF. Good work.


Edit-Mispell

 

I could only hope that Master_Obi_Dan would grant this, If it is allowed to happen I formally request that Amaunet be my second adopter, not replacing Jedi_Learner, but joining him in my training. Also, I just checked, this is my 100th post right here.

 

I'm glad you gave it a chance. I was considering Amaunet based on her posts here. I wanted someone with different interest so I could meet someone I might not get chance to otherwise. If nothing else you can still benefit from them both.
81st post.

Edit-You can send me a PM to let me know how you're doing.

 

Well, we have loads of free adopters now so being adopted by 2 people isn't a problem at all, IMO. But really ... how much time do you plan to spend online?

 

JediRaanic: ?I would be happy to take on Master MJade as my Padawan learner...what do I have to do??

Just send her a PM expressing your interest in wanting to adopt her. I notice that she hasn?t logged in since you wrote that post; hence I?m not sure when she?ll respond. I will keep her on the list until Thursday; and if she hasn?t logged in by then, I will remove her.

[b]Admiral_Thrawn60[/b]: ?[i]Question: How are the newbies supposed to know what JCC and another abbreviatons mean?[/i]?

Its quite simple really: if [b][color=darkgreen]newbies[/b][/color] are unsure what a particular abbreviation means, they can simply click on it. This is one of the primary reasons why all the ?[i]forums of expertise[/i]? are linked. And when you think about it, this is actually a superior method, as even if a [b][color=darkgreen]newbie[/b][/color] is not quite sure of a certain forum?s name (especially an abstract, non-descript place like the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/board.asp?brd=10008]YJCC[/link]), they can merely click on the link and identify it by association (if they?ve been there before). [face_wink]

Another reason why all the ?[i]forums of expertise[/i]? are linked is because links on the [b]JC[/b] are written in a subscript (a smaller font); hence, I can fit more ?[i]forums of expertise[/i]? on a line than I could using the regular/unlinked font. By abbreviating and linking all the ?[i]forums of expertise[/i],? while including four per [b][color=darkgoldenrod]free oldbie[/b][/color], I am able to keep both the [b][color=darkgoldenrod]free oldbie[/b][/color] and their ?[i]forums of expertise[/i]? down to one line of space (in most cases). This is necessary IMHO, as otherwise the list would be cluttered, twice as long and very difficult to read. As it stands right now, the list is not only condensed, but it is also exceptionally detailed and very readable: this is somewhat of a minor triumph, IMHO. [face_wink]

Hi, everyone! [face_grin] I just got back from the conference. I just have to answer some [b]PMs[/b] and then I?ll post an updated list later tonight. [face_grin]

 

"I could only hope that Master_Obi_Dan would grant this, If it is allowed to happen I formally request that Amaunet be my second adopter, not replacing Jedi_Learner, but joining him in my training. Also, I just checked, this is my 100th post right here."

Well done on your 100th post count. I can remember my first 100th as well. I don't mind if you have another adopter.

 

Thanks Master_Obi-Dan! I try.

I'm so proud of my Padawan! He's so helpful and his posts are wonderful!

 

I am willing to adopt a nOObie, just send me a pm!

 

So.... Are you guys gonna put me on the list?

Answered via PM.
