Meh... I'm a n00b. Eat me.

Hmm, I have a beef with waiting to welcome a newcomer until someone shows up that can answer their questions.  I would think it would be best to beam them, give them the welcome speech, and say that someone will be with them soon to help with their problem, and you're sorry you can't help.  That way, they at least feel welcome while they're waiting.  Because sometimes they have to wait for a while.  Also, when someone does answer their question, half the time they don't welcome the newcomer.  IDK, I thought the beam was for welcoming new ppl... that's the way I've always seen it used... I thought it was really neat when I first started lurking here.  But, yeah, blathering about kill counts and complaining (even jokingly) about not beaming someone first is quite tasteless.

*beamz you to death*

Of course, my beams are not in the visible spectrum.....

Dear me... I thought I had really escaped the beamzoring... drat!  Well, at least no one saw it.

Answering someone's question is enough IMO, you don't need to beam them and start screaming about "welcome to the community". They came here to get a question answered, not have a green graphic shoved in their face. Afterwards, they might stay if they see the community is mature enough (which they're unlikely to get given the current state of affairs).

Yeah, they might have to wait until all the whining about the beaming stops...

Quit bein' a baby

Yes, beaming is not exactly... "cool".

A long-time board member continually whining about how lame it is, and how lame the noobs are that do it?

Unbelievably lame.

Just drop it, man.  It's not making your case, believe me.  This is the intarwebs, for the love of Pete. 

[Unknown Target]

I'm not whining, and it's not just me. It's annoying, and I'd wish it'd stop - that's all I'm saying.

Anyway, off to more productive things.

I was actually aiming at Snail but what the hell...The more targets the merrier

The beam is nice, but the speech can be dispensed with. As others have said, the jokes are lost on 99% of the people here, and the remaining 1% have seen them so many times that they aren't funny anymore. I tend to just scroll down past those posts when I see the beam.

I said, ''eat'' me, not ''beam'' me. I'm surprised that someone on this forum can actually just ignore clear statements like that.

[TrashMan]

Oh, I read and understood that....but hte first sentance was "I'm a n00b"....and n00bs get beamed.... But if you INSIST on getting eaten...well..I guess we could import a few cannibals..
