HOW TO NOT INTRODUCE YOURSELF (Please Read)

[Sofa of Death]

ok, for the record, if you are new here, and you want to fit in like all normal people do, you should try not to post an introduction post that's in leet-speek (ie: "| 0\/\/ /\/ j00" or something to that effect) because it seems that everyone who comes in (yes, i know not EVERYONE) posts something that implies that they are the best, or that they own "j00".

If you found 1337.com, and are registered, i'd hope you knew the relative basics of leet-speek, and i'm sure everyone else does too, so you don't have to prove it.

Try introductions that state something you're good at, or something you like doing, or just say hey, and i'm sure you'll get a warm welcome.

Be courteous to others who use the forums, and you'll have a good rep. in no time, if you make enemies, well, it's your own fault, be advised that rules and regulations are in the FAQ.

Have a good time chatting it up, and on behalf of us at 1337.com, we wish you a nice stay here at the forums!
