I have yet to introduce myself in an introduction post. Does that mean I have to start all over? Damn!:biggrin1:
Nice knowing all of you. See you, LP.

I mainly use the chat room here, but I've used a few different chat rooms and despite your advice I've found the best way to settle into a new chat room is to be friendly, and act as if you know everyone, if you sit back in the corner you'll never get along in there.

Lest we forget the ever popular, yet rude salutation a/s/l. What happend to simple polite greetings, such as, "hi I'm clitlicker3 from NM."

All this is great....however....
(I know this could go under help desk but I'm posting it here because it seems to be the topic addressing what newbies need or could use and not just technical help.)
As a "noob" myself, here's a question/suggestion. Is it possible to look at the whole FAQ without having to search for a specific term?
I understand the "search first, post later" mentality, but a FAQ that you could browse would be or would have been a great help to me as a noob on this site.
Also maybe something that is a navigating LPSG or orientation guide (How to stay up to date on posts,subscribing to a thread vs- the "new" button. etc...)
Thanks,
Rubberwilli,the noob who hopes he hasn't been a boob to others.

Unfortunately, rubberwilli, the FAQ option refers you only to the vBulletin forum tutorials which are for navigation and use and actually have nothing to do with forum content.

I'd just ask that they join this group as they'd join any group in real life. If you're abrasive to others who don't know you immediately, they won't like you. Treat this group and the people here with the same respect you'd show them anywhere else.
There actually ARE some women here, but relatively few, so we get more attention than we want sometimes. Get to know people on the board before sending PMs that you'd be ashamed for others to see. Some of us (like me) will post them in public if they are offensive.
Take xanax before posting.

All too true. I especially do not like PM's asking me to look at someone's pics and/or rate them. It really puts me on the spot.
I have very specific preferences, but am also a nice person. I love cocks, but if someone sends me a pic of a cock I don't particularly love, I'm then in a conundrum. I don't want to give them a rating of "10" if I don't think they are a "10."
And I typically give ratings of "10" or none at all. Another of my pet peeves are people who go around in other people's galleries giving ratings of 7 or 8 (or below). Please -- I know I'm not a "10" in a lot of ways, but is it really necessary to add that opinion to my gallery? What purpose does it serve? To keep me from getting too full of myself?
Anyway, I don't do it to others. If I don't like your cock, I don't rate it. So please don't put me in the awkward position of having to respond to your PM by saying "I don't really like your cock."
Especially if you are a newbie!!!!
Just post your gallery and let members on the site express their preferences. Even if you aren't my type, chances are there are other members here who will find you scrumptious.

This is one thing that makes me mad is the lack of respect for the women on here. It seems to be getting really bad anymore. I know i sound like a broken record or some ass kissing fool. If the women on here were to leave this place wouldnt be the same. Yes there are only a handfull of real women on here . I know and love all of them. Im a nice man. I can also be very nasty. Please leave them alone..............
Try something new. Get to know them as people as i have. No dirty talk,or pics,dirty pm's they are simply wonderfull...........

1. There is less going on than meets the eye.
2. The membership is incredibly varied, and tolerant of everything but intolerance.
3. Anecdotal evidence about dick sizes is not worth the powder to blow it to hell. Please do not post your sightings of Afro-Irish redheaded, big-footed, long index fingered anythings as useful facts.
4. Even if it is completely true, don't bother to describe your massive phallus without posting an accompanying, undoctored, photo. No one cares about, let alone believes, verbal assertions of size.
5. Don't beg the moderators to intervene every time someone goes off on your ass. Sooner or later some idiot will decide that insulting you is humorous, but either deal with it yourself or ignore it. The moderators are busy with real problems, not name calling.
6. Not everyone on the board is a whore, or is fascinated with your dick. That's just me.

Haha, I propose this list be added to the end of the tos- perfect!
good posts holly and zara, as has been pointed out there aren't that many real women on here but there are a few of us, and because of this we can get a lot of attention in prv - but if we've filled in our profile and taken the trouble to post photos I for one like to chat only to guys who extend to me the same courtesy. I also dislike being put on the spot, I'm an honest person if I like your photos I'll comment, if I don't like them and you ask me I don't like to be negative but I won't lie about liking them. If you will insist on sending us a private message of any sort if it's not personal and different it's unlikely to get a reply from me.
In the chat room think of the room as a party and our prvs in there as our bedroom - you don't come in unless you're invited or you ask first.

If you waltz in here and start telling us how it really is, how you don't like it because your world revolves around and you expect everything else to follow suit - then you are an ignorant, egotistical gobshite.
What does mean n00b? and TOS?1 - Take a look at the site. If you like it, enjoy it; if not, keep on surfing the web, you will find what you are looking for.
PM = private message.
n00b = newbie = a new member
TOS = terms of service, you are supposed to read these before actually signing up for membership.
Also, for the n00bs: this is primarily NOT a hook-up or porn site. There is a section for hookups, for those who choose to use it. But be forewarned, do not use it and then whine to the rest of us if it does not bring you the desired results.

In this lovely thread,
I'm abandoning haiku.
But just this once, though.
1. In real life, if you go up to a stranger and say "hi, let's fuck," you'll probably get slapped. It's not a good idea here, either. "Hi stranger, let's cyber" will probably not earn you any friends.
2. That said, you'll almost certainly be flirted with, and some of the people to flirt with you will probably be gay. Learn to live with it. Most of the time, it's just a compliment, and you should just accept it for what it is.
3. There are a handful of women who are longtime members of this board: Zora and Holly come to mind, but they aren't the only ones. You'll know them when you see them, by the quality of their advice: they put the S in support group. Treat them with kindness and respect. You REALLY want them to like you. Above all, heed #1 and don't send them explicit PMs unless they invite it. (Many of them say "don't PM me" in their sigs. Respect that, unless they PM you first.)
4. If you DON'T post photos of your big dick, there will be people who think you don't really have one. Some of them will try to goad you into proving it. Stop and think before you rush off for the camera. If you're going to post pictures at all, make sure you're doing it because it's what you want to do -- not because you're trying to prove a point.
5. If you're going to post pictures at all, be honest about it. Don't post anyone else's pic, unless you've clearly labeled it. (Even if the picture is of a movie star you admire that you're sure "everybody knows.")
