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

“I had troll status for 10 months. Started posting here in Jan last year, didn't meet my first TTers til Oct. Now 60 people later I have finally lost my troll status.”

“she knew about the linville trip with crosscut, and others. so...no troll! :)”

“...Dub you're right on your behavior at "the other site"...it almost didn't make me make the switch. Initially I thought..."what an ass!"...and I STILL FOLLOWED!?

and Its official..I've not been to that site since joining here...and amazingly No withdrawal symptoms!”

“...I WENT on the Linville trip!...that whole notion of "get out more" I actually do :D”

“Carlette, I'm like Howard Stern--they tune in just to see what I'm saying. People are like, "what an ass!" over there. So they're like, "Lets see how much of a fool he is on the dark side." Then they come here and are like, "WTF?" Then they realize we actually have fun over here and joke around and don't talk about what color our fingernails are painted.

When I first came here I posted on both as I wasn't accepted so well, lol. Then after my first TT hike I stopped posting there as much, no withdrawels. Then one day I thought I'd have some fun and stir up trouble :-D So yeah, I hate that place. It's kinda funny that I still post there, but I like a limited few and enjoy taunting the others.”

“..quite fit in over there for whatever reason...maybe its an east coast west coast thing I'm not aware of.”

“NEWBIES....

“It's more of a "I really backpack" vs. "I just talk about backpacking" thing. Lots of west coasters here.

Not only do we backpack more, we have a better sense of humor here and have way more fun. For example, read this thread...if you laugh, you belong here, if you don't laugh, go back to the Martha Stewart side.”

“..of that thread is all I need to see to know I belong.

If a tt'er is allowed to use "I'm fit to be tied"....then I should have been born here.”

“Have you read about any of the classic trolls?”

“Carlette,

Capn Bobo.

“Read this thread about Marvin Gardnes, hillarious.”

“The Spring Newbie Influx has begun.

Employ Caution -- as they awake from hibernation, they'll eat anything.”

“Can I show em the secret handshake...huh, huh, please

I promise I'll be good.....”

“The way I heard that one, it was Delirium Tremens.”
