ChiefsPlanet New Posters, Lurkers and Noobs...Front and Center. - Page 16

**Iowanian** · 07-01-2005, 08:41 AM

I'm Iowanian and I'll be your tour guide today Please remain seated at all times while the Tram is moving, and as always, thankyou for visiting Chiefsplanet.....[/nasal crackled speaker recited speach voice]

This issue has been coming up in several recent conversations....that new posters and those who don't post often, don't feel welcome, or comfortable to make comment. The Offseason, when its slow, is as good a time as any, to wade into the pool.

Let me say, that prior to joining the planet(a new start) I was very uncomfortable posting at the star.....because "these internet people seem to know each other". I sort of felt like I was interupting someones conversation at a cafe or something. It took "the mike keck incident" to make me just do the cannonball into the pool. I wasn't comfortable until I had an oportunity for a fresh start, when chiefsplanet came online....and it took awhile after that.

Every poster has a story and a personality. Those who have been here a long time, probably know enough about each other's lives to scare the shit out of all of us....just from accumulation of tidbits through the years.

This is your Oportunity to step forward. Introduce yourself. This is a safe place. Let us get to know you, and if anyone is a prick for no reason on this thread, I'll stick my thumb in their Router.

Enjoy this comlimentary coupon for all newer posters for 1 free oportunity, after reading Iowani-commentary for years-months-weeks to sign the fan book, or tell me I'm an ________________.

Welcome.

I usually don't worry about the lurkers until the drums stop.

Brian posts at a pace that would accumulate 3500 in two months. This is only a little over 18 a day.

I enjoy: Priest Holmes' facemask before he switched to the visor, Tony DiPardo's collection of Dante Hall's footballs, Tony G taking time to gather himself before dunking the football over the goalposts (Denver '03) as opposed to catching the ball and maintaining his sprint right to the goalpost for the dunk (Oakland '04), Trent Green's facial expressions after burning a timeout because Chris Horn doesn't know where he's supposed to be, thinking about how Al Saunders has overcome the stinch and residue of Paul Hackett in the coaches' box.

More seriously though: I enjoy being a member of the greatest fans in the National Football League and being 1/79,000th of the Loudest Stadium in the NFL whenever I have the chance. Thanks for letting me be a part of the Planet!

Welcome to the party, later we will teach you of the Planet Party Line.

Sparhawk · 07-01-2005, 05:55 PM

Hello gang! I am an avid book reader and love Terry Goodkind books, hence my name, Sparhawk. ( For those who may wonder I am a 43 year old Male!) I'm actually a fan of Sci Fi & Sword and Sorcery books. Been GMing AD&D for 20+ years, and still play! I also love the NFL and the Chiefs are my team! I try to be as friendly as possible when posting even if my opinion varies. In the past I've lurked a lot and have avoided posting in those posts where folks are slamming one another too visiously. I promise to post a little more though, and be a bit more vocal!

By the way I am pretty sure that number in the url has nothing to do with join date. Iowanian's number is 2383 and he joined on August 23rd 2000. I am pretty sure he was not the 2383rd member to join.

Do you dress up like a troll or elf or something and run around at conventions?

Because if you do I see a lot of material here.
