Welcoming Newcomers

Alamo-Girl used to have a super Newcomers Welcome Desk and Information Center. I've been on extended leave from FR. Is there still a place where newbies can go to get oriented, pick up some lingo, learn etiquette, get questions answered without getting flamed, etc.?

My sister just registered, so I'm trying to help her out.

Thanks!

Hey this would be great thing. Do you know if a Free Republic Boot Camp exists?

[Fierce Allegiance]

Tell her to ignore the Kitty Squaddies! Some look like this:

Thanks for teaching me to postpics, BTW. I haven't forgotten the generous help from both of you!

get questions answered without getting flamed, etc.?

Now, what fun would that be?

[TPartyType]

Thanks, Fiddlstix!

I remember this "super-post"! Very helpful.

Keep on Freepin' On!

SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU SNIVELING TIT!

[TPartyType]

This might help!

THE LEXICON OF FREEREPUBLIC (More help for newcomers)

[TPartyType]

Wow, the lexicon's from 2000 and the last update of the Newcomers Welcome Desk was 2002.

Don't anyone care for da newbies no more? Maybe there's a new way people are "assimilated" (remember the fun michigander had with that one?!) around here these days, and I just missed it . . .

(I'm gonna go update the HTML Sandbox right now! HA!)

[b4its2late]

And here's a gem you may or may not have missed, but it's worth revisiting as we approach 2008:

You're welcome J

[b4its2late]

I'm sure there are some someplace. I just thought I'd start from the beginning!! LOL!

[derllak]

Hooray! Someone else lower than me on the totem pole! I finally have someone to pick on! :)

[NerdDad]

Hey Hon,

These links might help you. Pay particular attention to the Lexicon and Posting Instructions.

[TPartyType]

Your tagline evokes horrible mental images. Argh! (or should I say, arf!?)

[MNJohnnie]

Resistance if futile. We are the Freepers. You will be assimilated

Hey now Freepers don't play that game. Try Democrat Underground. They are really hot for that sort of stuff over there. :-)
