Title: newb FAQ section
Post by: kyndkate on May 26, 2005, 07:35:48 pm
Hey, Dave, I was just wondering if you and/or all the seasoned TB fans and frequent board posters would be willing to compile an FAQ section for newbs.  Being one myself, I feel a little lost while sifting through threads. I\'m a seasoned poster to other boards like nancies.org, but I don\'t really have any good background information on TB. I think it would really help some people out and encourage them to become more involved with the band if something like this were available. When I started posting on the Dave Matthews Band boards several years ago, I read through the lengthy FAQ section that included a bio of the band, how to post, how to do B&Ps, common topics among fans, board etiquette, abbreviations and lingo, etc. (http://nancies.org/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=6) It made a huge difference.

I have a geniune desire to learn more about TB, and it only makes sense that I would go to the fan forums to do that.  Here\'s my call to anyone who is willing and able to take the time and add a newb FAQ section to the site. I\'d greatly appreciate it!

See, this is exactly what I\'m talking about.



We need an FAQ section to tell newbs to ignore shit like that (bad grammar, lewd comments, etc.). ;)

Not a problem. I\'m not one of those board wackos that totally flips out whenever someone\'s belligerent. I try to ignore people instead of appointing myself to Forum Police. :)

I only live in Lafayette during the school year because I go to Purdue. I\'m about 100 miles southeast of it right now at home.

About the cyber sex...I believe you, Mamalaka. :)

When I say "Forum Police" I refer to the non-mod people who think they can lash out at the person being a dick and make everything better, when all they really do is provoke the douchebag to more douchebaggery.


Woah, we\'re way off topic. Oh well, shoulda seen that one coming.

Tough one...been here since day one. Just gotta poke around. When Dave changes shit up (forum upgrades), it takes a little trial and error to figure it all out. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. Someone will be right on top of it, like Freddie on any newb female ;)

i got on this board after my first show at the knitting factory.  wah was the first guy i met at the show actually, haha.  anyways, i dunno i just kinda dove in and posted a lot.  eventually you get a feel for what\'s going on.  i also do my best to not take a damn thing here seriously.  if i had a dime for every time gencs bashed my band, i\'d be a rich man.  and he\'s never heard us.  but we\'re just ballbusters like freddie said.  i try not to poke fun at people that much, but thats for my own reasons.  all douchebaggery aside, these guys did welcome me into their family with open arms and i\'m happy they did.  just have fun, you\'ll get the hang of it.  welcome to the fam.

Yep I thought the same thing. Thing is, my way of being an asshole just differs from you and Wah. I figure I mainly lash out when I\'m personally attacked now rather than add to the douchebaggery that consists of most of your posts.

That someone would actually threaten physical violence over some internet message board post by someone they had never met. Just to do it. No other viable reason whatsoever. This being the 1st message board I have EVER posted on that came as quite a shock.
