Political Correctness on TBN?

   / Political Correctness on TBN? #61  
...one thing I noticed right away when signing on here to become a member and introducing myself is I had 2 or maybe 3 people to welcome me...
Please don't take this the wrong way... but it's a bit funny to me, since you only posted once in the "New Members" forum... :) I'll post a welcome to the few new members that I had *something* in common or they had asked for some help...

I believe that the reason new members aren't welcomed by more old members is because this is such a large forum with about 10 new members a day. Nobody has time to post welcomes to all the new members daily.

We could always do it programatically, set up a profile bit and script away.... :)
that way every new member can get upwards of 10k personal welcome PM's to read on joining. :) :)

Correction: In the last 24 hours, there were 56 new members. That's a lot of new members to greet everyday!

So..........................WELCOME EVERYBODY!!!!!!

Bump. :)7

As a "new member" I found this very enlightening now if only I could find one listing all the acronyms everybody uses. :)7

Excellent idea! I've picked up on a lot of the acronyms and other jargon, but a TBN on-line dictionary (or at least a sticky thread) would be a very helpful tool indeed.

Still learnin'! :thumbsup:

If you find one that you can't figure out, just ask politely. You'll get quick answers.:thumbsup:

The three which hung me up were:
1) IIRC - if I recall correctly
2) FWIW - for what it's worth
3) YMMV - your milage may vary

I had to ask about all three.:laughing:

Thanks Cyril of those three I've only seen the IIRC so far. Now I can keep my eyes out for the other two. :)7
