The Five Step Program

Kagemusha · 08-18-2008

Are you a new member? Are you looking to increase your posts? Do you want your first introduction to be sweet? Then follow these steps.

1. Introduce yourself. Tell us why you picked out your username. If you just chose it for random, then just tell us your real name or what you want to be called. It'll make it much more simplier!

For example:

Kira: Hi there guys, my name is Kira. I found the name interesting because it's Japanese for Killer. Also, one of my favorite anime characters nickname is it.

2. Tell us why you joined Forge Hub. There must be a reason, did you like a map and then you wanted to learn more about our forgers? Did you join because you wanted to post your new map? Or are you looking for a new Halo forum, or something for pleasure.

Kira: I just joined because I saw that bungie had something cool to say about this site that I was interested about. Something about a 2v2 tournament. Maybe I should submit a registration so I can find a partner.

3. Tell us your hobbies, it can be anything. Sports, video games, hanging with friends. Anything you want it to be. =)

Kira: Oh... I really love the Final Fantasy series. I also like Swimming, the Olympics have not been a disappointment so far. =)

4. Tell us details about your life. Like how old you are and where you live. This way we can get some generalization out of you.

Kira: I'm 15 years old, and I live in Vancouver Washington. I will submit a photo later of myself that way you guys know what I look like. =)

5. Tell us a conclusion: Every introduction must have a conclusion... However this one just ends the introduction. You must have some way to be happy about the new forums you just joined because well... why are you here then?

Kira: I'm really looking forward to a good time at this forum. I hope you guys are nice to noobs, unlike the Bungie forums that I really dislike. Can you guys show me where to start off?

Hopefully this will provide some assistance to some newer members.

Wow... Nice job on this Kira, I'm sure a lot of new members will like too read this and maybe some people won't be afraid too post and introduce them selfs too the community.

Also, after someone posts an introduction:

Be a jerk to the noob
I can see you're new here. You misspelled (correct grammar). I don't like you, and you won't do well here. You should probably leave now

Be genuinely friendly
Hey welcome. I'm excited to hear about (something specific about the person in post). Message me with any questions.

Be artificially friendly
Welcome! If you want to see this, go here (links to every part of the forums as though you're some sort of navigation device). +Rep me for my troubles here's how (Instructions to rep as though he's MapQuest). Private Message me if you have any troubles or couldn't understand how to +rep. Welcome again (full name and address and other info, AIM, Skype, detailed schedule of when they're on XBL the rest of the month, how to +rep again)

Spam
Welcome

Unrelated
You guys see Phelps last night?

Semi-Unrelated
Hey welcome. (Something specific to the person)
You guys see Phelps last night?

Self-Promoter
Well welcome to my fan club. Here's how to +rep me. Someday you'll have as many posts as me. Good luck. (More asshole-ish-ness).

Thanks,
Sampson

Yep, I'm the douche bag.

Just kidding, but nice job Kira. Just thought I should compliment it with a guide of my own.

Kagemusha · 08-19-2008

Thanks guys. I actually made this out of pure boredom, but after I read step two and three I actually started to take this more seriously. ((As you can see I think step 4 is a failure, but who the hell wants a four step program anyways?))

I actually didn't think anyone would use this guide really, but Dark Lite proved me wrong. =) Thanks once again guys, I hope to bring some more help to the community after I get back to school. ((Strangely, I come up with great ideas during the time.))

This really made me laugh, I hate it when Someone posts these "generic posts" where every posts sounds the same and they all of a sudden trying to get too the loyal rank. Giving links too every part of the forums like you said.

Nice job, on this great thread that you made Kira, and Murdock Sampson for the great post.

Art Vandalay · 02-16-2009

Hey how you guys doing, my name here is Art Vandalay, but I more commonly go as Matt. The name comes from the show Seinfeld, one of my favorite TV shows, and I thought it was kind of appropriate considering it stands for a made up alter ego of George Costanza being an architect haha.

I joined Forge Hub because I have been trying to make new maps in the forge for quite some time now, but never really had an effective place to post them, get reviews for it, and have it generally seen by the halo community. I am also looking to become a Video Game Designer, as that is the career I am pursuing in college right now, so I figured this is as good a start as any.

My hobbies include but are not limited to Ice and Roller hockey, pick-up football, video games, watching movies, listening to music...the basics for any kid my age...

...I am 18 years old, and live in Oceanside NY on Long Island. Even though I live by a beach, I don't go to it that often lol go figure.

Well, not much else to say here, I just hope to find what I was looking for here at the website. If anybody needs help reviewing a map maybe or wants to take a look at any mine once i start posting one or two, let me know via PM or whatever...Happy Forging!
