Embarassing Newbie Moments

[Flying Tigers]

Well I did a have moment but it was more of a mad moment. I a made the mistake of saying politics in my first thread so whathisname shut down my thread.

[Ashley]

Actually, you didn't just SAY politic, you made a political thread, and according to the rules you agreed to upon membership of this site, that's not allowed. So perhaps if you had paid more attention to the FAQ you wouldn't have found yourself so upset by it.

If you go and look at my first post ever on CAA, you'll see what my most interesting and amusing newbie moment was. Well, you see, after only having ever met ONE Christian fan of anime, I simply couldn't believe that CAA was what it seemed it was: a place for Christian fans of anime to fellowship. So, my first post is like "Christian anime alliance? Christian-- as in, the religious affiliation?"

I guess I figured it was a fan ring for some VA named Christian or something.

Did you know that you've made 500 posts since July?

Anyway, when I joined, I persented myself a bit less maturely than I (think I) was. I also tended to misread user names.

[Flying Tigers]

Yes you are right ashley. Thats why it was a newbie moment.

I think the mods got mad at me when I started mailing copies of Mao-Chan to them.

.... CUTE ALIENS?

woah! that alone makes me want to check this title out

Bahahaha, I remember when I first joined KH2.net, it took me forever to figure out what "XD" meant. That's sad, considering the fact that it's one of my most commonly used emoticons these days. XD Also, KH2.net...Wow, THAT was a...place. My first "forum-ish" place, really. It was more of a fan art board where you could make comments and go WAY off topic without being called down by mods (mainly because there were only 3 mods, and they never did anything). XD Anyways, that was my first experience (ever) with needing to defend my faith against yaoi (and yuri) fangirls...Gah. Things got icky soon. XD I still go back from time to time to make a point or two, or to reply to all of the secular humanists and their cheap shots. -.- I remember making like, two posts that were flaming (hah), but after that, I did nothing but debate, debate, debate...I almost got sick of the internet! o.o But then I found this place, so it's aaaaall good. XD

It took me awhile to figure out what a lot of expressions meant. XD, pwn/pwned, avvy, sig, along with others that I can't remember, but now I know most of them, I think. Before I joined my first forums, I lurked on it for a month or two, it helped me get used to the forum feel. But since June of this year(when I joined my first forum) I've gotten used to it. There's still stuff I don't know, but I'll figure it out eventually, I hope.

[Flying Tigers]

Im not sure XD means.

[Warrior4Christ]

Urban Dictionary helped me avoid some unnecessary newbie moments. Look there.

Warning: some definitions have mature content.

[ADXC]

Well probably gravedigging!XD (Sorry for gravedigging this, I just thought that maybe some other members would like to share their newbie experiences, you know the people who didn't post in this thread before. Also I didn't want to make a new thread for fear that it might be locked because there already being a thread like this.)
Also another mistake I made was sometimes mistaking someone for the opposite gender they really are, I mean before I came to CAA. Because this is the only forum Ive come across that actually has your gender in your posts and user names. Another mistake was not know what certain acronyms meant like XD, FTW, n00bs(Sorta ironic isn't it?) and various others.

[~darkelfgirl~]

So many. So many.

*shakes head*

[Alexander]

None I can think of beyond putting a topic in the wrong thread. XD Ah, new forums. Hard to move around at first.

[KeybladeWarrior]

I mistook several members' genders. It was rather embarrassing. XD

[Okami]

I kept mixing peoples' genders up...

[Alexander]

How ironic that I've done that too. XD

Oh, and mixing up ages. I don't know how many 12 year olds I though were 18 year olds and 18 year olds being 30 year olds. XD

[Nikolai Melodie]

My blatant athiesm and shinto dabbling at the time were probably my biggest "LOLTROLL" moments, which I consider quite noobish (now, anyway . . . )

but really, just read my intro thread. I was such a noob....

[Sammy Boy]

Does not knowing what forums were (despite having joined one), and then thinking it was some kind of massive mailing list, count as a "newbie moment"?

It was personally embarrassing because I actually have a Ba. in Computer Science. And that's before I joined CAA.

[Doubleshadow]

I accidentally posted a pic. in the wrong thread, making it look like I was claiming that I drew a piece of official art. That was about five layers of embarrassing.

[That Dude]

I don't remember any outstanding newbie moments. Though there are still some embarassing things that I don't know. Like, despite being here longer than %80 percent of the members I still don't know how to make a picture for the sig. That and I always have trouble with the qoutes, spoilers, and hotlinking.

[Fionn Fael]

I once asked how to bring up an image from My Pictures in Paint. *headdesk*

[PrincessZelda]

I remember when I first joined... I posted my "I'm new!" thread in the wrong forum, lol

[Corkyspaniel]

[SIZE="4"][color="SeaGreen"]My most memorable newbie moment would be the time I called a guy with pink text a girl. And someone said "EVEN AFTER THE NAME CHANGE." or something. I was so embarrassed, but looking back, it's really funny. [/color][/SIZE]

[creed4]

One of my first posts in this forum was put in the wrong section. And I am a notoriously bad speller.
