Hey All
« on: March 22, 2006, 04:22:44 pm »
Just posting a message to say hey to everyone, as I just joined the forum.  I've recently been buying the parts to build a cocktail cabinet over the summer, so this seems like the place to be!

Welcome aboard.....

There are a few stages in the BYOAC process

1] MAME virgin... like a kid with his first playboy. So excited about the discovery, he forgets to look at the whole picture before asking questions.
2] newbie... Reading everything, asking questions, all around excitement about the project.
3] accomplished newbie... feels good once he can actually answer another members question.
4] advanced newbee... learns to ask questions tactfully without doing any searching but can make it sound like he did.
5] contributing member... becomes very helpful answering questions and encouraging other members with their projects.
6] self proclaimed guru... answers all questions with "use teh search n00b" thinks this response gives him leet status.
7] asshat... pretty much got consumed by the topics in EE and put the project on the "I'll get it done eventually" status
8] reformed asshat... ignores EE to try to finish project, he becomes a very helpfull member for a while.
9] purgatory... uuummmm what.... "yeah , one day I'll get around to finishing the cabinet"


and a friendly reminder the higher the post count, they less they actually know

EE could use some new meat.  Sit down son and enjoy the show.  Also, the first rule about EE:  No one is to talk about EE.
