I did warn him, and I know him personally. I asked him about it later, and said that he didn't do it. But it was slightly mean-spirited, and I wouldn't have done it if I didn't know him.
Well, I guess I'm new here....
Anyway, I'm loving you guys so far. Your all hilarious, creative, and, amazing? Anyway, You guys are awesome, hope to be joining your ranks!
Hello there! Have some chocolate, won't you?
Welcome to the Board! Sanity optional!
I wouldn'tgo so far to say that we're all awesome, but I can definitely think of a few. Naming no names. *cough*Tawaki*cough* Dagnabbit!
Either way, have this Box of Infinity!
Warning! Box of Infinity is water soluble. Do not expose to dragonflies.
Hi, have some fudge!
Greetings, new friend! Help yourself to the sack of venomous arthropods. Don't worry; they don't bite!
We love newbies! Make yourself right at home!
Here, have some Stravinsky for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFRwKQqbk4
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Drinking it voids warranty.
For something that is scarce among Boarders, isn't it strange that there are three different types? Apart from you there is Shattered Sanity and the other newbie Rainbow Sanity. I usually tell newbies to leave their sanity at the door but I think you can keep yours. Just make sure you lose it once in a while.
In other news, you are now the proud owner of some SPaG candy. It's candy because I like being praised and SPaG flavored because you used the wrong type of "you're". * is an occasional Grammar Nazi*. Also, what are your fandoms?
I actually know Rainbow in the real world, hence the Sanity ending. I know the MLP fandom and LoTR fandom rather well, other then that, not much. Also I did catch that miss use of "your" instead of "you're", I was hoping no one would catch it....
Hello and welcome to the PPC! It feels like you're the tenth newbie that I've welcomed today. Anyway, have a propellor cap! It'll take you wherever you need to go, provided that you don't put you fingers near the blades.
If you want to make a lasting impression on this site, either for being brave enough, stupid enough, or both, (don't) read any of these stories. It's really a bad idea, unless you need standards of stories that are worse than any other story. Ever.

Do not do it, it's more stupid than brave.
A) You, yourself, are still a newbie. Ergo, I don't think you're qualified to tell another newbie how to make a lasting impression. Seeing as you have to, y'know, have lasted for that.
B) While you have made an impression (whether or not it's lasting has yet to be seen), I'd like to point out that, from what I can gather, it's not exactly positive. I'm not sure anyone would actually want to take advice on how to make an impression from someone who has mostly manged to annoy people.
C) As ThatOne has said, hazing the newbies, especially in that particular way? Not cool.
On a tangentially related note what is this obsession the new people we've been getting seem to have with the LBs? They're bad, yeah, but mostly they're only truly terrible if you have a reasonably deep understanding/love for the fandoms they're in. Otherwise, they're not much worse than any other badfic. If people really want to torture themselves, they should go find something like Fan Fiction Fridays from Topless Robot, or some other MSTlike. That way you get humor interspersed with bad.
That you are in no place to talk about making a "lasting impression on this site", being a newbie yourself, and one who's made quite a few large errors in a very short period of time.
As you already noted below, this was a cruel and mean thing to do. Just because you know them already gave you no reason to say it as you did.
I've read... one of those. I'd like to think that lasting impressions on this site come from contributions to the community, rather than self-flagellation with Legendary Badfic.
Hazing the newbies is a cruel thing. At least warn them what they're getting into first. Then let them decide if they want their brain to melt.
Hello there new person, like every other newbie I have greeted, please accept my everlasting friendship~!
From one newbie to another, from the bottom of my heart. Here, take this bumper sticker.
*Glod was my copilot.
Welcome to PPC! By the way, thanks for telling me about it yourself.
