I never got one, either, but I rather doubt it would be very welcoming to receive a welcome beam nearly four years after joining HLP.

Because several people think it's already an old joke. A few people do that anymore, one of them being Mobius who suffers from internal bleeding every time a new guy has been without a beam for over two hours, hmm.

I never got one either. And welcome speeches (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39765.0.html) are a bit 'out' as well, I guess. But I like them anyway.

The welcome speech was quirky and nice for a while, but then a whole wave of nubs sank their teeth into it. After that, it was changed, thrown around and generally abused so much that it lost all semblance of meaning. In record time it went from a quaint forum tradition that only a few of the lifers really fully understood, to a tired cliche trotted out so often that if it were gum, nobody'd be able to tell if it was peppermint or spearmint.

lolz if you don't like it, convince everyone to stop working on the SCP & mods.. they will eventually leave, no worries.  ;)  Then you could use the wayback machine and pretend HLP was still up & running.  (Just funning around here, in case anyone wanted to take that seriously.  Denied.)

EDIT: And I never got a beam, either... I was half hoping to, but half hoping I could sneak in undetected.  Looks my cloaking device was up to snuff.  xD

Mobius is really the only person who uses the welcome beams anymore, which is IMO a good reason not to use them yourself.

Fixed. Not to mention the funny collection of rules he made up. Where is he anyways? He hasn't been online, like, since last month. It's too peaceful here, hmm.

He's probably having exams. It's nice to be able to work on INFA without him shouting "ITALIA ITALIA!"

i only saw him post once and he was arguing with me.

If you saw him post a thousand times he'd be doing the same thing.

What? Arguing? Mobius?! No wai!!1

That's his style. He is right and if someone disagrees, he begins a long and frustrating battle, which he refuses to forfeit even when all the evidence is against him. If all else fails, he begins calling people idiots.

Edit: This (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53207.msg1075468.html#msg1075468) was ****ing hilarious (yes, the whole thread starting from that post). I laughed so hard I almost puked, hmm.

actually i don't think either of us had a clue. thankfully we didn't get into a debate because that's my style too (most of the time) could have gone on for ages

You haven't seen half of it. If you had access to Inferno Alliance internal you'd see more posts like this:

I don't have FS2 installed only INFA
What do you expect from the screenshots? The new MVPs are IMPROVEMENTS and using them is therefore LOGICAL and OBVIOUS.
:lol:

He called me an idiot for replying to his HB beam.
I just told it when it was his turn I would get him back...

Yeah. I really doubt it's all that special after these years. Must be like getting neutered...
