What is with people starting hello threads and then vanishing?

Setting up shop for later spamming?

Did any of you folk post a "Hi, I'm new" thread when you first found your way to The Cellar?

Nope.

And I don't like being obliged to do it on other forums either. Especially as I doubt 99% of the other posters read it anyway, just those friendless enough to hang around saying Hi to every noob that drifts through.

My Cellar experience has ruined me for other websites...

Like an old oak table?

Maybe, but there's actually a site when you can go and see if an IP address belongs to a known forum spammer. I checked this person before approving the posts and they weren't listed.

Nope. To be fair though, we didn't have fancy "threads" back during the big bang. We communicated outside time and space and liked it better that way.
I guess we wait and see.

OMG, it's already begun!

Great thread call back, dude.

I seem to recall doing a little intro thread. But it was, if I am remembering aright, after I;d already jumped into a couple of ongoing threads.

That tends to be my MO generally on boards. I get dragged in through some ongoing discussion or other and then I'll post a hello if it looks like I might be sticking around.

This is a spambot, I think.

My catbot doesn't like Spam...

I have always wanted a Physician's Desk Reference

Im so new i can't even start threads

Hi Thorian!
