Eustacia-

Glad you've joined us and happy to have you as a Rickman Girl!!! Very Happy

You'll see that we're a pretty united group here, and we don't have cliques or "newbies" or whatever. Once you hop on the Rickman Rollercoaster, you're along for the ride with the rest of us! Very Happy

So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Cool

@journalista: I'm really amazed at the wonderful group spirit here. I don't think there is any other forum in which I stopped feeling like a newbie in my first week. Thank you all for that Smile

I used to be a member of this forum for the band AFI and the people who had been on there for years would only speak to the other original members - true there were thousands of members online at a time, but they just didn't seem to make the effort to be friendly or include people. This meant that the newer members would get mad and then just spend their time making angry or aggressive posts. AND many people who joined would join just to say that AFI were terrible (they used far more offensive vocabulary) and anyone who started a thread in the 'other bands' section would be told immediately by someone that their other band sucked. It was a very hostile forum and full of pretentious people who that because they had more posts they were better fans and that their opinions were more valid. It gives rock-punk fans a bad name.

So, that's why I am so at home here - the atmosphere is completely different and very comforting. We are a credit to Alan.

Well, girls, apparently I've always had an affinity for the British... my mom was going through some old papers of mine she'd saved from school, and found a limerick I'd written in 5th grade:

There was a young Englander named Jude,
Who his mum often found to be rude,
For at the dinner table,
He picked lint from his navel,
And replaced it with stuff he had chewed.

Apparently the teacher had gotten a charge out of it and sent it to my mom with a note that praised my ingenuity and questioned my weirdness!!

Just thought I'd share my poetic prowess with you!! Laughing

@Velouria: That's incredible! Shocked

Sadly, I don't think that phenomenon is restricted to punk rock forums. I used to be a member of an Australian actor's fansite, and the mod managed to delete every single post I made as a newbie on the grounds that it supposedly didn't conform to forum rules, or was posted in the wrong thread (while thread names were nicely vague... ever heard of moving a post instead of deleting it?). When they had deleted my 6th post in a row, I quit that forum.
Another forum dedicated to a German rock singer was extremely pedantic when it came to supposed copyright violations; it was enough to write a brand name (such as McDonald's or Coca Cola) to get your post deleted for copyright infringement. Sigh.

@journalista: LOL! I would have loved to see your teacher's face when he read that!

Journalista, love your limerick! If I had been a teacher and a kid had wrote something like that, I would have been thrilled! That´s not weird, that´s brilliant!
