It's so true...
Something like this should almost be required learning before newbies are allowed to post on any forum.
...the internet would be a slightly less frustrating place if it was.

I think we should have some kind of "Newbie Manual". Because when some one who joins a forum they know next to zero on posting new threads, appropriate grammer and spelling, RPG edicut, ECT. I remember when i started out a year ago i had to use my gut and i turned out to be the poster boy of all n00bish behavior. I would kill for a manual so i wouldn't look like a complete dumb a**!
If you would let me, i would love to write out a manual.

I enjoyed that. We've all been culprits at some stage (Hell, I don't even know half the internet slang, ask Word Wolf!), but maybe we can help some others out too.
I could give some prize tips on opinionated people:
- Express it without attacking. Yes, this -is- possible.
- If someone attacks you, smile and wish them a good day. Newbies don't understand that this often makes you the winner if you refuse to give into baitings.
That was a classic flash...must show it around!

Does "Woot" stand for anything? ...or is it just another way of saying "YAY"?
...and what the hell is *g* ?
I'm sure there are more that I can't think of now as well. This stuff is just really annoying sometimes...especially when you have no idea what anyone else is talking about.

So *sigh* means the poster sighed. *rolls eyes* means the poster rolled their eyes. *grin* or *g* is a smile.
"Woot" , AFAIK (As Far As I Know), is basically a 'yay'.
Here's a few links for internet abbreviations.

I've never heard of *g* before? I can see why you are called Word Wolf
I don't like many abbreviated internet terms, but I find them nessessary for messaging on a mobile (cell) phone as it saves money. I hate doing it even then. It confuses me.
But anyway, on topic, this is a pretty funny clip.

EDIT: Heh...looking at those sites, I swear I've never heard of G as an abbreviation of grin before, and I'm not a new internet user. Not an old one either, but not a newbie. I used to build a lot of sites and was good at it once, but you can see I've forgotten it all, by looking at the dazzling childish looking Australian site I have yet to fix.

Eh Vuldari I edited my post without realising you'd posted, although you phrased an actual question...how can anyone pick G for 'Grin'?
G could mean Great or Guppy or Green or Gertrude...

I only see it on certain web forums, and there everybody put's *g* or *g*g*g* at the end of thier posts instead of :) or any other actually recognisable emoticons.Kirk Hammett wrote:EDIT: Heh...looking at those sites, I swear I've never heard of G as an abbreviation of grin before, and I'm not a new internet user.

Making up your own language that no one else understands and then trying to communicate with it is just about the dumbest idea I've ever heard of.
