Random numbers

[vicsouders]

Want to do something fun? Replace the “showtopic” number up in the address bar with a random number and see what comes up. I wanted to see the beginning of the forum, so I checked out the very early numbers. New guys, don’t feel bad to ask questions, even our esteemed Daetrin (Paul, Admin Staff) didn’t know much in the beginning. (No offense Paul!!!)

What a cool idea Vic - I do that at times too to remind myself of how far we've come. No worries on pointing that out - no one comes out of the womb knowing everything. Heck, I'd only been in the Legion a year when I started this forum.

I agree with asking questions!!!!!

But i do think that theres a diference in asking questions and just ignoring simple " new in a forum" protocol. Like most ppl i do jump in and not read the instrutions, and most of the time i figure it out, with out the need to read the instrutions. but that doesny mean i dont read the instrutions after wards at some point.

The idea of looking at the early psots is great because both new and the older guys can remember the evolution the forum had. and quite honestly some of the best historical info are in the first posts. And this way we can start the health habit of looking/researching questions rather than asking a question that has an entire area and multipule threads!!!!!

And like Vic said it may be true that Paul may have not worked with Brain Muir in the the develpoment of the TK, but thats one of the best things that i think the FISD has brought to the Legion and costuming as a whole, and the reason that Paul has been and is currently our DL. Paul with help of past/current admis and the members of the FISD has cratead one if not the friendlyest place for new guys. there isnt that arogance or superiority complex that most other costuming forums have about the older guys beening all knowing and all powerful. theres a true kinship among members here that i think is the biggest accomplishment this detachment has had!!! (Troopers helping Troopers)

Good call Vic!!! take your time to research, steer the pot once in a while to help resurface awesome posts that get left behind. but most importante remember that every one at one point has been as clueless as one feels the first times they venture into the research building of the FISD.
