I'll adopt someone! I don't bite.... much.

Well, Plie, you can mod-report your own thread and ask if it´s sticky worthy.
If the mods think it is, they´ll make it a sticky, if not, they´ll not make it a sticky. That´s it. Nothing bad will hapenn.

Why don´t we send PMs to each member who starts a thread in this board?
I notice that not many new members say they´d like to be adopted in this thread, but we have tons of older members who would like to help. But if we would send PMs to each new member who writes in the whole board, we would have more.
I have my adopted member now, but lots of you have no one yet.

I have actually done that for I think maybe one or two. But I havent heard back from any yet.

sure i guess i'd like to be adopted! haha. i dont really have questions... but... ya... anyway, yes... adopt me!

Look, I was feeling so friendly this morning I went and left these nOObs welcome messages and told them to check this thread out!

1) balletbunhead2 www.dance.net . . .
2) laurap www.dance.net . . .
3) kt_hull_fc www.dance.net . . .
4) jaxxs www.dance.net . . .

Hopefully one or all of them will come be adopted!

Yay!

I'll do it, as long as they take out the trash and stay out of the liquor cabinet. I don't want no messy thieving n00b.

I'm trying to keep the records straight here, so I went and checked all the PM's I sent out to the adoptive parents to see who adopted who. Every n00b that has made a request has been adopted. Sorry if I didn't match up personalities/dance styles, I'll try to concentrate on doing that next.

Here's my first list (adoptive parent - adoptee):

Smilin_Oranges - VictoriaKate

Kathy - Tapizoid

LuthienTinuviel - Kate20

Cadbury_Eater - dancingnbarefeet

MissYou009 - LuthienTinuviel

Luthien, you sly dog, getting adopted and being an adoptive parent

Are you new? Click here to get adopted by an older member!

*sings*
I got a nOOb,
I got a nOOb,
I got a nOOb,
HEY HEY HEY HEY
*stops singing*

that is all i wanted to say.

But mine is the most intelligent one.
Hey, he found VIS in his very first days! I´m sure we have lots older members who have no clue that something like VIS exists.

Now he´s looking up to the day he can have an avatar. I´m sure this day will be here soon, because he only needs to post seven more comments. He´s even a premium member allready, THAT´S FAST! And he allready owns 3 Karma.
I have the slight feeling he doesn´t need me for a long time anymore. Well, I think it´s great he gest used to this website so fast.

I would love to adopt a new member. Count me in.

Wohoo! I get to be an adopt-er and an adopt-ee! But my adopdtive parent hasn't sent me a PM yet...


*feels neglected*

Kathy really bragged on me didn't she?

That's cool - adoptive "parents" bragging on their adoptive kids is a real morale booster!

I hope every adoptive newbie is treated as well as I have been so far. Thanks, Kathy!

As for VIS, well it looks like chatty fun and it's a cool way to get lots of posts to one's credit, but I hafta say that the meat-and-potatoes stuff that I've found really helpful relating to dance has been in the specialty message boards. They're great even if they aren't as busy as VIS.

Y'all who have adopted newbies take a lesson from Kathy!

Maybe I'll adopt a newcomer myself after I've learned the ropes a bit...

Grins,

O0o0o I will adopt a new member! sign me up!

Emma's feeling broody...

Wanna adopt me then??

aw i want to adopt someone!

Seeing as there haven't been too many new members saying they want to be adopted, I thought I will.

Hmm, I've only been on here since last year. Do I even count as an "old member"?

Well i have been around a good while .. i want a n00b too!

yeah i will certainly help

ME! ME! ME ME ME!!!

I want to adopt a n00b.

I spend almost ALL of my time on here (even though I don't reply to a lot of the stuff that I read), and I know the site pretty well (that's what happens when your on here EVERY DAY!). I spend most of my time in the ballet forum, but I go into the tap one sometimes too. I do jazz, but for some reason I don't go into those forums too much. I've been going into the general, arts, and advice forums more too.

Cuddly little n00bs. I'll tell them about how I got over my net speak habit. It will be really funny when I end up getting a n00b who is like 10 years older than me though, lol. I wish I had been adopted when I first joined the site.

I'm trying to let the helpers who volunteered first adopt first. Sorry if it's not working out that way the whole time!

And I would say that you are an old enough member Doomed_Fairy. I think as long as you have been here a few months and know all the rules well, then you can adopt.
