Oh my goodness!

Hello! Newb here. :D by Brooklyn on 2011-11-20 12:33:00 UTC Reply

Stumbled across the wiki, and I'm so very glad to find all of y'all. I've read/written fanfic for years and have had so many issues with all of these things! I'm so glad you guys not only understand my pure angst over things (like the mechanics and speshul eyes) that I couldn't find before!

I plan on being on the boards a lot, so if I could sign the Constitution and go through the trials to join, I would muchly enjoy this.

Um, about me, I'm 18, from Texas, favorite fandoms are Doctor Who, Buffy, Dr. Horrible's, Harry Potter, etc. :D If anyone has a tumblr, link me~ I'd love to get to know y'all well. :)

I've heard you can grow the most amazing sunflowers there - but anyway, welcome! I don't have a tumblr account or anything, can you recommend it? I tend to start and abandon things which is a terrible habit of mine, but it'd be nice to have a place to connect with people, maybe. Well met and warm wishes!

Sunflowers by Brooklyntaff on 2011-11-22 18:23:00 UTC Reply

Sunflowers are definitely aplenty here, but I prefer daisies and our wonderful state flower, the bluebonnet. They grow on the sides of highways and usually take up huge patches of grass and are so gorgeous.

Tumblr is FANTASTIC but slow at first until you start following a bunch of people, track a few tags, and gain a few followers. If you make one, feel free to follow me at one-man-bukkake.tumblr.com and I'll follow you back and show you the ropes :D

Whoa there, NSFW URL much? by JulyFlame on 2011-11-23 06:28:00 UTC Reply

Please note the rules of the board as far as content goes. We try to give note for stuff that isn't family friendly/SFW/can get anyone with tracked/limited/censored internet access in trouble.

I'm so very sorry! I'm so so sorry I feel awful! I can't figure out how to delete!!!

There isn't any way to delete, but don't sweat it. by Aster Corbett on 2011-11-24 16:54:00 UTC Reply

It's an honest mistake. Call the PPC the heir of a tradition started by younger people (The PPC on whole has actually gotten 'older' on average since its establishment) but not many places assume that kids or those with policed connections are lurking around. As long as you bear it in mind in the future, no harm done at all.

Suggestion: If you want to link that in the future (say, on the wiki, elsewhere on the board, on the IRC chat, etc.), use tinyurl to change how it's displayed. And of course, if it's NSFW, mark NSWF. :)

About that... by JulyFlame on 2011-11-25 00:42:00 UTC Reply

You're perpetuating incorrect facts.

While the PPC as a whole has become older on average since it was established, that has to do with the fact that the members who have been here for a long period of time are aging.

And on the second mark, many places do assume that there are policed connections or otherwise that people are using, and usually mark NSFW content as being such or make it clear what the general rating of the forum is itself- whether the board is NSFW in and of itself or does not allow the content at all.

Sorry, I just didn't see it in that perspective, by Aster Corbett on 2011-11-25 05:45:00 UTC Reply

I was mostly working off the fact that the early members were 13-16, and now we average 16-21 despite a fairly high turnover rate. The only 13-year-olds I've knowingly encountered around here recently is my own younger sister. So really, I think it might be both ways. Just 'We all are getting older' sort of discounts the fact that the people joining certainly don't seem 13-14 years old.

But hey, you've been here longer than me. I defer to you.

Welcome to the Agency. by Matthew72 on 2011-11-20 23:09:00 UTC Reply

Hello. Pleasure to meet you. Have a boar tusk, not to be confused with a mammoth tusk. Those don't squeal at you.

Please enjoy your stay, and remember to leave your sanity in bin marked accordingly.
Hullo there shiny new Newbie! by Rosie Azrael on 2011-11-20 22:35:00 UTC Reply

Welcome aBoard! Nice to meet you, I'm Rosie! Here, have a Pidgin! *Hands you a leathery, black-and-gray bird* They work as rudimentary backup translators, messengers, and spawns of Satan. I brought a few back from a mission a while ago, and they've taken up residence in my RC. In fact, here, have a few! *hands you a crate of Pidgins*

Anyway, don't forget to drop your sanity in the conveniently placed bin by the door (You won't need it here), read Da Rules, the Original Series, and a few Spinnoffs to get a feel for us! Also, pop into the chatroom every once in a while! We like Newbs in there!

So! Who is(are) your favourite Doctor(s) and Companion(s)?

Heyo. by JulyFlame on 2011-11-20 20:50:00 UTC Reply

Since you've already come across the wiki, just read the stuff from the top clickable bar link, 'Guide to the PPC'. ;) That'll tell you all you need to know as to how to join. (No actual trials and tribulations!)

Anyhow, welcome, hope you stick around.

I've never encountered someone who found us by stumbling across the wiki before! That's kinda cool. Enjoy your stay, and don't pet the walrus.

Yep! by Brooklyntaff on 2011-11-22 18:21:00 UTC Reply

I was looking for an actual definition of goodfic to send to my friend, and through google found the wiki :D

Welcome aboard! by EileenAlphabet on 2011-11-20 15:02:00 UTC Reply

*pokes the newbie* Ohh, shiny!

Ahem ...

Welcome to the PPC! Have a brick and a gin and tonic (can be exchanged for a non-alchoholic beverage if you don't drink).
Whoops! Name change. by Brooklyntaff on 2011-11-20 12:38:00 UTC Reply

Seems there's already a "Brooklyn" on the wiki, so henceforth I shall be known as Brooklyntaff. :D

Hi, have some fudge!
Good to have you a-Board! by doctorlit on 2011-11-20 13:17:00 UTC Reply

Greetings, new friend! Have a Freeze Ray! (Not an Ice Beam; that's all Johnny Snow.)

Also, we don't really sign the Constitution anymore; it's more of a historical document thing. We appreciate your enthusiasm, though!

Thanks! by Brooklyntaff on 2011-11-20 13:45:00 UTC Reply

No big, I totally understand. :)

Freeze Ray! I asked Santa for YEARS, and this is all it took? GOODNESS.

(Johnny Snow... grr.)

Oh no! A freeze ray! by Duothimir on 2011-11-22 14:22:00 UTC Reply

Obscure references aside, welcome to the Board. Enjoy your stay and watch out for GIANT BUZZSAWS!. If you see any, I'll toss a SPACE LANCE! your way. Maybe that'll help.
