Hello all,
This is n00b and obnoxious to the extr33m, but no one's ever fired the welcome beam at me :(. So could someone do that, even though I've been around for a little while already? :D :nod: ;7
Also, I have probably seen about three or four versions of the welcome beam sequence, one of which included more than one beam... I don't know. I'm so very fond of HLP's customs, I simply must see them all! So how about we make this a collection thread of all welcome beam sequences in existence. :D

I always wondered what the Flamethrowers and Shivans speech was after getting beamed... I was just told Hi cause yall dont do that no more!
-
I could give you one now if you like....
-
If I recall correctly, it is because it basically became a competition to see who could write the best speech. Also, there are very few left who remember where the memes came from anyway.
-
The meme MUST live on! It must! This is one of the most awesomest customs I've ever seen. We must preserve it!
-
No, we really mustn't.
While a good idea at first it devolved into a stupid competition to see who could beam or welcome speech newbies first while normally completely ignoring the question they actually registered to ask.

Sorry, I got beamed by Trashman!
Welcome to the HLP forums DOCTOR DOOM.
In Ye Olde Days there was a whole greeting speech with flamethrowers and shivans, but we don' use that anymore. Then we used to fry newbs with the:
:welcome:
WELCOME BEAM..but these days we mostly say hi.
So enjoy your stay, and please don't try to conquer us.
Thanx anyway though!

Wasn't there an old forum announcement regarding the more modern welcome beams? There was a pretty stern warning near the end.
-
The beams are one thing, it was the speeches that got truly stupid.
Imagine being new to a forum, asking a question about a problem preventing you playing the game, getting 5 different versions of the same speech, beamed by 6 people and then still not getting a reply to your actual question.
The problem was that instead of being a friendly welcome the beam became a competition from the same kind of retards who post "FIRST!" everywhere else on the web. Once that happened they had to go.

Wow, my last and only welcome speach dates back to June 25, 2008

Guess it's about time for me to think of something new one of these days...
And obviously if there's a question I'll answer it too.
