Aahh welcome, welcome, may i lead your eye to the important part of the forum... the forum rules and the posting guidelines.... :twisted:
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Hi guys, I'm v1p3r, just joined.

I've been reading lots of posts, but only just joined coz I'm now buying a new pc that is worth playing the latest games on and I can finally post relevant, current posts :)

Thanks for the reply to my first post even though I forgot to intro...

Looking forward to learning a lot and contributing useful info I find myself

Cheers

Please report to Recruit Processing, (Deck 4.02), where you will become versed in the Rules and Regulations governing your specialised equipment. Upon completing the riveting introductory course, you will be whisked away to experience the pleasures to be found at the offices of the Bureau of Basic Assumptions, where your peeler proficiencies and innate abilities will be tested.

Once you feel you cannot take any further excitement, please stop by the Culinary Induction Centre where you will find your very own pile of unpeeled potatoes awaiting your skilled attention. Please place all processed spuds into the handy spud chute, (as all recruits are held responsible for the chute's upkeep, it's probably best to peruse the provided manual on the Care and Maintenance of Your Spud Chute).

All recruits are required to undergo a physical, handled by Lt. Anthropoid - 7th Class, (we've had one or two complaints of over-zealous examinations but he's really cheap and brought his own doily).

Above all, have fun, don't prod the trolls, (trollettes 5c extra), and, (no matter how much Tribble begs), remember - aside from Decks 12.2, (English/Afrikaans), 173, (Spam thread), 2073.22, (Knights of the Round'ish Table) and 1368, (Pride o' Murkishness), this is a No Spam Zone.
Welcome!

Now...please report to Captain Rusty for your Mug Shot and Membership Badge.

Welcome! :D

Be aware that, as a new conscript, you will first have to prove your mettle by comitting war on the dreaded Arbiter of Oatmeal, which will give you access to the Vale of Used Tissues, where you can puchase handy quest items, ("The likes of which have never been seen!"), from Stan's Emporium O' Oddities, ("Free bathmat with every purchase!"), as well as many refreshing, (and some disturbing), potions and the like from Zog's Hovel.

Once you're feeling sufficiently revivified, be sure to report to Questmaster Anthropoid to ensure your name is entered in the Hall 'O Heroes, prior to accepting any further quests.

Have fun, beware of any unattended doilys and remember... the health warnings on SPAM are there for your own good, not just that of your quest companions....

Hi nice to meet everyone. I was part of this great group of people for about a year then had to leave for Australia for 2 years for a modeling contract. It is great to be back I see a lot of new faces and some old one's seem to be missing (maplassie, onlyone etc).

I hope hope we are going to have alot of fun :wink:

I was so bussy with work and all the new stuff that the company expected of me and not to mention all their rules and regulations. It was a total drag

Only1 is still here. Maplassie isn't really here anymore AFAIK. He does make posts every now and then, but not very often.

Welcome Rikku :)
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.
