Your Unfriendly UGN Forum Dictator,

BTW, DO NOT post here if you have posted somewhere else on this board in the past week, unless you have less then two posts...

Hey,
I just got here and dont know much of what is going on down here. So i guess i could use some help my temp aim is xx zayet xx im borrowing my friends for now. So if anyone could tell me what are the rules and crap that would be good.
Well ill be back later have Phun!

i'm sure theres a list of rules around here, but i'll tell you one rule that i know. don't bother others with question unless you have tried to find the answer first. if i were you i'd try the "faq" section to get yourself started. besides that just be yourself. find a section that you fit in at and start making posts.

officail ugn rule list ((its a link on the main page))
wizzy's at 2 posts, heh, rrr damn newbie status../me glares at gizmo

my god, at least someone can look at the main page... becides, when you registered the reg page states "click here for the official rules".

For the rules i meant as in rules that you people make up as dont say certain words or ask certain q's. Stuff that is allowed here but you've decided not to.

Use common sense. This site is about security, so don't go posting about warez, cracks, etc etc.

/me is still here, i look at the board everyday, read things, but havnt posted in a while../me glares at gizmo with wiz for the newbie status also <img border="0" alt="[Laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laugh.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Idea]" title="" src="graemlins/idea.gif" />

Look at rules under posting lol...

gar status suxors

lol wiz, you just need to get to 50 posts... that or apply to be a mod lol...

50 posts is a lot if you think about it, 50, quality posts.. being a mod requires me sending you my personal info doesnt it?? ((bah i really should keep this to a pm but i nead a few posts))

Your personal information will only be used to contact you if you do something illegal or questionable.

like posting on a security webboard or applying to be a mod.

So what do we do if we're _such_ lamers that we really don't have the brains to put a word down about anythin... I'm here to learn, but hey, I don't know sh*t yet. (I gotta start somewhere yaknow) le revoir.

heh, you can do what I did. When I first joined the board, I was pretty dumb (this was back in Oct 2000), but I didn't let anybody know I was dumb about a whole lot of things. I simply answered questions that I knew the answer to, and I read other people's answers to questions - which I then repeated in my own words for when the question gets asked again, heh. By answering questions you appear smart. By asking intelligent questions, you don't ruin that image. But if you have a question which you think probably everybody but you knows - go search for the answer on the web.

Then you can hop onto the IRC and be cool. Be mature, don't ask anybody for any favors, don't tell people that you're smart, or that you're dumb, or anything about yourself besides stupid stuff like age or gender. But for sure talk! Make a couple friends, and ask THEM your stupid questions if you need to. heh, sometimes I ask some of these members questions in private I'd be ashamed of asking on the webboard cause I'd look so dumb! Sure, you may not know everything, but it doesn't hurt if other people think you do.

heh, and don't worry about the fact that you've already spilled the beans and that we all know that you're a self-acclaimed dummy. If you lie low for awhile, we'll all forget all about you.

Thx for the tip - was just what I intended to do (sort of). Yeh, I dig the avatar /me hides a grin
