Ok, I've been chilling at GSF behind your backs... Hey stop throwing shit I swear We never did anything! Anyway I noticed that their guild has taken to adopting Noobs and I realised maybe we could do that too so as to encourage a bigger better forum. So here are the rules I suggest.

1)Guild Members and possibly Posters with over a year under their belt who havn't spammed (This would exclude a few morons with large post-counts if you get my drift) Could adopt one Noob at a time.

2)Any Noob who has posted between 10 and 500 posts can apply for adoption.

3)Adoption basically means talking with your noob and making sure you follow their posts and tell them when they are out of line.

4)Noobs can be invited to a special monthly event we could start (Basically an extra Meeting)

5)If your Noob is too much trouble you can drop them and tell them to straighten up

Well that's all I have for now.

I practically do that now with everyone here (following your posts that is). I don't want to do it officially though. I like lurking behind your backs just that little bit more.

Well, I have a sinking feeling I may be one of the 'morons' you're referring to...but I've adopted a newbie over at GSF, so I don't see any bother in adopting one here, aswell...

Anybody got dibs on GODDESS_JO ? Hehehe, only kidding...now, let's see... perhaps The Spy? I've already gotten to know him through adoption, and he does post here so why not? It's like killing two birds with one stone, I tell ya!

Yeah... I was going to be polite... but your not the kind of influence we need on impressionable Noobs. I've decided that since I've started this I'll run it for now. So If anyone is interested in getting involved in the program as an Adopter or Adoptee ICQ me or e-mail me [email protected]

It's great that you guys are looking out for the newbies and all - but be careful you don't go too far into the 'parent zone'

Does it need to be *as* official as you're making it?

It'd be nice if all the regulars/veterans just helped out the newbies as a matter of course - nudging them (*privately* as a matter of preference) when they go wrong.

And remember, preaching and helping are two entirely different things, but can be very easily confused...

The worst punishment I had in mind was a slap on the nose with a rolled up newspaper if they urinated on the couch.

Well as some of you may have noticed I've adopted Shmoo. He's a yougin but judging by his previous posts he's not too much of a project.

All Volunteers should contact me.

EDITed out: My bad, didn't realize I posted in the 3DAP guild forum until I hit submit. Guess I don't post often enough here to get used to that. happy

there will not be an adopt-a-noob agency in the mod, I've got too much already in it.
