Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread

^ shush, you. We want the newbies to stay here.

 

^You're right. We should dolphinitely scale back on the fish puns, for cod's sake.

Oh, and welcome, new posters.

 

That's what she... no, I can't finish it.

 

welcome to all newbies
Don't mind us oldtimers - we're a bit crazy but in a few weeks you won't notice that anymore since it's highly infectuous

 

Oh, you lot are crazy? *Giggles maniacally* You have no idea.

 

LOL that's the perfect attitude Welcome!

 

Posted my bio in another topic, so I'll keep it short here.

I look forward to contributing here! You'll find I generally have a lot to say.

 

welcome

 

Hello, I'm new to this board. I hope to make many friends.

 

Hello! And welcome.

 

I need to stop posting in controversial threads for a while. It's exhausting. Everybody I'm disagreeing with today? You win. lol

 

post in the Rear Admiral's Lounge! You may disagree with us to your heart's content

 

How does one get promoted, been here 2 days and I've already deguassed the transporter room without the aid of a magneton scanner twice.

 

Go clean the Holodeck. I should warn you that Riker used it last.

 

Sounds like a job for a baryon sweep.
I'm off to stellar cartography to play racquetball.

 

And that's why you're still lieutenant j.g.

 

I hope there is more than synthehol here. I need all the deleterious effects.

 

Picard: "I'm told that your father is also dead."
Big-eyed kid from Robocop 2: "Yes, sir. He died five years ago from a Rushton Infection. I'm all alone now, sir."
Picard: (Dolly/camera zoom) "Jeremy, on the Starship Enterprise no one is alone. No one."

Every time. Right in the feels.

 

Welcome, Abi Smith, Kerock and Uncle_Lou
Yes, you don't walk alone here. As a matter of fact, I have made rather a number of real life friends here. I particularly recommend the Lounges - they are the place where the most chatting is going on and you really get to know your fellow posters.
To get promoted: that's a combination of postcount and registration date (there is a minimum time as well as a minimum post count to prevent excessive spamming). To boost post count there are a few spam threads tolerated in every subforum. Most of them are a lot of fun, like for example here at MISC the Avatar Contest game (you enter an avatar fitting a specific topic, the users vote which is the best, the winner decides on the next topic). In the Lounges there are a lot of word games and other interesting threads that are top-secret to anyone but the Lounge Mods and the members of the respective Lounge, so I can't tell you about them. Just you wait, post, get promoted and see for yourselves =)
(My appologies for any typos I might have overlooked - years ago I injured a tendeon in my right hand which didn't heal properly and now I tend to hit adjoining keys or swap letters when my left hand overtakes the right one. I do make a spellcheck but more often than not one or two errors escape my attention. Plus this isn't my native language)


Welcome back retroenzo! Long time no see! Are you ok? Where have you been all the time? *checks profile* ah, VOY - no wonder I didn't see you. Too few Klingons in VOY for my taste - I've always had a weakness for long-haired men, particularly when they offer tea and poetry
