Where the Hell are all these newbies com in' from?

“And I would have thought everyone was a newbie at one time.”

“The Newbie Factory in Taiwan!”

“"The Other Side of the Board"”

“Do I have to bring up this thread again? they seem to come in waves, like ocean waves splashing onto the shore - they come, recede, and come again, with more force - newbies are taking over the world.”

“Spontaneous generation...”

“I suspect that it has something to do with the ebb and flow of college curriculi...”

“The trouble with tribbles uumm I mean trolls”

“It's bravery in numbers.
Most have been lurking and see a new one survive so they get up the nerve to post.”

“*sniff, sniff* I love the smell of trolls in the morning.”

“After they've been doused in napalm and set ablaze?”

“LOL @ stove, its kinda like the Penguins. when 1 goes into the water, the others follow because they think its ok and its safe.

but little do the know, that there lurking in the darks of the water are people like bacpac and ULTRApacker!!


run away, run away”

“I've been advertising the site in backpacker magazine.”

“That does it! Bban bbinkley!”

“early one friday I ditched work to hit the trail. Do I need a map? NAH! I'll just wing it. Low and behold I stumble lost in some dark forboding woods for days on end. Fearfull I head towards any sign of rescue. At last I see something! I stub my toe on a troll and tumble down into the deep, unescapable Trail Talk. Its a trap I tell you! Beware, beware!”

“When you go on your first TT adventure and meet some flesh and blood TTers, you won't care about getting out.

Hate to tell you, but you fit in pretty well already.”

“Yes, it's frightening, isn't it?”

“Can't matt put up some barbed wire or something?”

“If he had put up barbed wire, bacpac would not have been able to get out.”

“Seems like a good time to put it up then.”

“bacpac is not allowed to leave! or at least, if he does, Gear Slut will have to put in extra time.”

“i was thinking buddha's post on the "other site" sent some of the searching.”

“are we all on the same page?
we want him to STAY?



only if I get to belittle him some more!!”

“let bacpac stay...he has good posts”

“ok name One and I will rethink wanting him to leave”

“Like stovestomper said - I had been just a reader for a while - I saw a couple new people introduce themselves. So I though why not start posting myself.
dawn”

“heck if it wasn't for newbies, there'd be nobody here right?

I'm just curious about this 'wave' phenomenon. Sounds like a good research topic.”

“So you're letting the red headed limper in here? I thought the verdict was that he/she/it is a troll.”

“She posted a pic, proved she's real. LOL.”

“but whos pic was it??”

“I believe her. 8-P”

“yeah so do I. :)”

“Thanks Path and Maple. So many were doubting me I was starting to wonder if I was a troll without knowing it. Mind control maybe?”

“I must just get this out of my system... NEWBIES ROCK!

Thank you.

Continue with what you were doing.

Hope I didn't bother you.

If I am just say so.

Not that I will stop posting or anything.”

“Miss limpalong has shown her good sense of humor and wit. She is a keeper, and should be granted full rights of passage into our realm. She is a good match to any of us, here in the realm of Trail Talk.”

“I like bacpac. We need his refreshingly brutal honesty. (it's funny sometimes)

I like limpalong too. [I hearby refuse to attach "miss" or "girl" to any tt handle. I've been swayed by lizs' argument on the hey ya'll thread.]”

“Well just for that we'll call Abby, MissSassyGirl.”

“Where the heck do you think all those newbies are coming from?”

“So, Am i still a newbie?”

“pathman send me over here. blame it all on him. I bet he send all the other ones over here too.”

“bad pathman!”

“All the fresh newbies seem to be hot chicks, so you can thank Phil for posting me & briar rabbitt's pictures up there.

Like bees to honey baby!

LMAO (at my foolish self of course)”

“Maybe Sparky would stay if we promised he could have his very own Torll!!!

Please stay Sparky!”

“Ya I have seen a FLOOD of them whats up with that????

8)”

“OK, despite what 668 said a while back and despite my clowning around, most newbies do not come from anywhere in hell. Yes, many come from ante-hell, the neutral realm or places barely upwards of Archeron.

However, infernal reality being what it is... there are many trolls and torrls who are from (or at least heading to) the lower regions of hell. Be wary ye of mundane fraud!”

“Thats a new way of looking at it!

8)”

“I know what you mean ped. I had this really weird dream that I was waiting in this reeeeally long line. It was hot and smelly. “I’ll be here forever”, I thought.”

“Geez Viol Man.. you need I should draw you a pitcher?”

“okay, you guys know that I am not a troll, right?? Pathman send me over here. Crazygurl isn't one either, she came because I have told (warned) her about this site.”

“No Gemini, no troll would go to three different boards asking the same question.

Now, did I steer you wrong?”
