2. Do I count as a newbie? I have been here a long time, but intermittently.
That explains the low post count.

I don't really have a problem with the current lounge... but everyone likes a little excitement.

3. 1000 just to
start a thread is a bit unfair.

9. I don't know who told you that you need 1000 posts to start a thread,
but that is not true...at all...Or did I misunderstand your statement?

37. I found this in the FAQs file...
"How many posts do I need to start a new thread, etc?

New members are restricted from starting new discussion topics. We require you to first post responses to a few existing discussion threads before you are given the privilege to do so. We wish we did not have to enforce this rule, but we have found it very helpful to keep disruptors off of our message board. Please do not ask what the minimum number is; we won't tell you, and it's not very high. New members are similarly restricted from using the private messaging function or recommending topics for the Greatest Page."



Do you have any ideas about the "secret number"?

38. Yes, I do know that it's less than 1000!
I started threads LONG before I hit 1000 posts...I think you need something like 20 or 30 before they let you start threads. Go for it! I don't just now recall what your count looks like, but it didn't look that low...So go for it!

And, HAVE SOME FUN! Remember, being silly is a Lounge requirement!

5. Why a hostile takeover?
I mean if you're in the lounge in the first place, it's to have a good time, right? Must there be a takeover to have fun?

13. well because ...
They wouldn't make a TV movie of the Lounge newbie coup if it wasn't hostile, and we had no losses . We need martyrs! Okay, just members with ketchup on their shirts...:bounce:


(pssst. It's actually a master plot to get more newbies to introduce themselves, but don't tell anyone )

posting because of my low post count. Sure I could post some type of drivel and run it up but I would rather post something constructive. But being as this is the lounge and it is pretty laid back i will just buy everyone a round! OH BARTENDER

79. Cool. One thing we need though
is our own naturally innocuous topic that ends up somehow becoming so controversial that it gets "banned" eventually by Skinner himself! For reasons that no-one else knows about!

How about cheese? Can we start a newbie flamewar about Brie, or Stilton or something? That might work!
