One of my friends recently joined the forum, and as a joke, I sent her a PM that basically said:

You aren't a REAL forum member until you've read best joke ever (nate/lever).

Then I got to thinking.. there are lots of other things people do. Add themselves to the birthday thread, add their picture to the ATOT gallery, visit the at-wiki at least once...

What else?

Of course, this is all in good fun, but what are some of the things YOU feel people need to do before they are REAL forum members?

Do you realize that with that PM you RUINED the joke?

Only if between the 2 you kill yourself.

This has been ATOT inside joke theater. Please stop by all week!

What happens after you get banned? Do you have to sign up again?

Hah, many of my 16/day are certainly qualified as nef.

I still have to learn about Oldmoatsboat, Preyhunter and WayneTek, but I certainly can talk a lot of shit 🙂

Anything else?

If you are permabanned (permanently banned) you would have to sign up again under a new name,

That only works if you don't get caught. New accounts would also get banned.

So far LilPima is doing just fine, I doubt she'll ever come close to that. 😉

But he is now permabanned so you gotta go with the current one which would be Zane, Arcadio, or ICRS. Your choice.
