Noob Forum?

[wizard1961]

Would a forum to invite newbies to ask questions help increase participation?

“If you have something to say in reply to what I wrote, why not say it in open forum - or is there something in that PM you do not wish posted?”

Oops, two mistakes: First, I clicked on the wrong link — I was AIMING for public. Second, I missed that reply telling me about it. I don’t suppose that was my one clever post from yesterday?

Oh well, sorry about that.

I think that is so cool! I'm actually touched... thanks! The GRIM TEAPERS could easily be a FR sub-cult... I'm motivated to try my first html here (please don't laugh) The intersection between the Freepers and the Teapers = the shaded Grim Teapers... yeah, your mom tried to warn you... Note to self: next time, coffee first, posting second...

Thanks for that. It looks like you & I are the only smart ones here. Is that what the /s means? Pretty sure...

It’s the COTUS, stupid

(Not you... just riffing on the Clinton tagline on the economy...)

No way. Good job! :0)

Now you're getting with the program, young feller...

It's all about give and take.

Are nOObs what they remove from the inside of your Colon?

“Are nOObs what they remove from the inside of your Colon?”

Maybe from YOUR colon, but not from mine!

The Viking Kitties don’t like it when you try to pull their tails. Too bad you won’t get past the noob stage, it could have been fun.

Your links were very cool, thank you

That's OK, just watch for this every weekday morning 'till summer. By then you'll catch up enough to post all by yourself! (And you can get some of those pointy scissors, too!)

I guess you don't want people around here to like you?

That isn't a goal I have pursued much.

[wagglebee]

No sh!t.

"Screw you. Do we want to keep more visitors, or not?

DUDE!(lol) This isn't Facebook. The goal isn't to see how large of a "friends list" you can obtain. (And if that was the goal, you just failed.)
This is a CONSERVATIVE site. People who are interested in conservative issues will continue to come here because it is the best source of information available.
And if they continue to come here they will figure out the interface and may eventually join.
If they are not intelligent enough to figure out the interface, well... chances are they're a liberal anyway.

“DUDE!(lol) This isn’t Facebook. The goal isn’t to see how large of a “friends list” you can obtain. ... If they are not intelligent enough to figure out the interface, well... “

Well... let’s see...

I appreciate the sentiment. My perspective is different. I see a big change in momentum with Tea Parties, Browns, Palins, Becks.... and I want to help.

I see FR as a very good thing. I expect many “new to politics” people to be dropping by, and I’d like them to be as happy with FR as I am. As indicated by seeing Brwon take the Kennedy seat, times are really changing. During the flux, everyone may want to consider new strategies.

I am not saying anyone has to agree with me. But.

“The Goal” as I see it is to get 51% of the vote on things like smaller government and restoring the COTUS.

Many of the Teapers are not great on PCs. So while you have every right to prefer to hang with a more plugged in crowd, I have a different opinion. And... I know of a great forum were conservatives can debate different perspectives. It’s all good.
