When I first came to the org I was a bit confused.
This is a bit embarressing, but here goes...

1. I assumed rdhull and moonbeam were women.
2. I could work out where everyone was posting at first until I found out you could set up the page to show what thread was posted on last. It took me 2 months to work that one out.
3. I didn't know where everybody was getting the emotions from until I saw that you could click on the emotions list and see them.
4. It took me 3 months to work out how to post an image correctly.
5. I still get confused over whos spoof accounts are whos.
6. I remember one perticular time that I called some of the female orgers here men. Boy did I get that wrong.

These are just some of my first impressions and mistakes...what were yours?

I thought you were an idiot. Sometimes first impressions are best.

hon i only worked out to post images a week ago...that after nearly 15 months on the org...
i still get everyones sex mixed up. you're a guy right??
and isn't moonbeam a woman??

i just remember thinking "omg, these people are funny as hell!" - the collective sense of humor here is still what makes me spend this exorbitant amount of time here!

I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one. And yeah...I'm a guy.

I just remembered a another thing!!!
I didn't realise that when I had to pick a name to start a account...it would be the one that I was stuck with. I thought it was just a password thing, and I would be able to pick a cool name afterwards. That's why I'm stuck with althom.

althom said:

and i've only just now found out now, i can't start another thread...too many i think... why??

althom said:

it's become an org household name, i believe! whenever i see Bender, the first person who comes to mind is you!

And that avatar! But you are loved, Althom!

I only learned from Lleena and 2the9s how to post an image.. The less I know the better I am.

that can be scary! Then you get a reputation for the amout of threads you start... But you go right on ahead and create, create, create.

After 1700+ posts i figured that one out. A while ago. It's just one of my early mistakes.

Edit: my original post should have read 'trieD', not 'trieS'. Hence the confusion

SpcMs said:

* It took me several months to learn how to post an image.
* I knew better intellectually, but I actually envisioned I was chatting with Naomi Campbell and David Beckham
* I also have no idea whose spoof accounts are whose.
* I still confuse males from females also
