Noob Forum?

Posted on 02/11/2010 10:09:01 AM PST by wizard1961

Would a forum to invite newbies to ask questions help increase participation?

Yep, whoever thought we would get to witness “Lord of the Flies” in real time?

Your post has glaring capitalization errors, did you know? ;-)

but then we’d have to tear him away from his self-congratulatory thread on the unmasking of debra medina where he is accepting kudos and floral bouquets for calling that one correctly

I'm donating all the flowers to the Texas Foundation for Nutcase Truther Nurses.

They are reporting casualties.

“Please explain how the interface of Free Republic resulted in Obama being elected”

It did not.

On the other hand, if more people come here, we can better support more Scott Browns.

One thing that really depresses me... the “New Media Conservative” group was POWERLESS to stop John McCain.

That really pisses me off. Our conservative engine needs more dilithium crystals.

do you know how many come now? have you spoken with "management"? have they expressed concerns?

You’ve already been given several suggestions. Ping Jim or John to share your ideas. There already is a n00b welcome wagon. Instead of coming in with mouth and posts blazing, you could have asked for some help. Somebody would have pinged the welcome wagon, who would have been able to point you in the right direction. Instead you only alienate those who might otherwise listen to you.

I realize you’re all excited about your new direction. Old saying — None so righteous as a reformed whore. Think about it.

I've been pointing this out for a week or so.

Even a blind hog finds a grain of corn every once in a while.

And you have caps errors in your post.. did you know? ;-)

Are you aware that each state has its own group here on FR? Click on your state flag, on your home page.

Like some others here, I’m surprised at how abusive some FReepers are to admitted noobs - as if “STFU NOOB” somehow encourages new participants.

Never mind. You didn’t put a state flag on your home page. Keeps you out of a lot of interesting local news, but hey!

Do you get a tax write-off for that?

you think we are being abusive to this guy? a noob is one thing. it’s something else entirely when a noob says, HEY, we need to do XYZ and LMNOP right away if we want to be a force on the net to be reckoned with. a month after sign up. when he has no clue what FR is, has been and has accomplished since it’s inception. that makes freepers tetchy.

“I care about “your moms” learning curve.”

Wait a minute, my mom’s dead. Should I be insulted?

Seriously, duuuude, I think you have grossly overestimated our interest in this subject.

I'm not exactly interested in electing any more liberals who believe in socialized medicine with taxpayer-funded abortions, gun control and man-made global warming.

I've been reading the responses to your post. It will help to remember that you speak only for yourself, not for “We” unless you're head of the FR Posters Association or sumpin’.

And it really extremely bad form to be only recently arrived and to start making suggestions about how the site can be improved. Really bad form.
