All programmers are welcome here.

Welcome!

Celticgeek, sometimes I wonder if you have an automatic script that looks for a particular word in one of these intro threads and automatically posts, "All <descriptive_phrase>s are welcome here. Welcome!"



Oh, and Hi, Errdos. Good luck with your archive trawl and take a look at the forum rules (and especially pay attention to the "bearhat guy" rule).

You have discovered my welcome_technocrat_bot script.  Damn.  Ten thousand lines of spaghetti code, written in FORTRAN.  The hard part was coming up with all of the <descriptive_phrases> that describe all of the variations meaning technocrat. 

And welcome anyway, errdos.

looked for the rule you mentioned and couldnt find it (in rules n stuff).
and trawl archive? oO; huh?

Er.

When I rehashed the scattered guidance to the forum rules last autumn, I removed the reference to bearhat guy, as I felt it was probably a bit of an in-joke, and not particularly helpful to new people.  But for those who want to see it again, the following cartoon is a distillation of forum behaviour that used to cause trouble but has now been pretty-much stamped out:



Please do not be the bearhat guy.

Sadly, it is not.  It is just my weird way of welcoming people. 

Welcome (again)!

Just do what I do. Follow the time-honored strategy of the history's most brilliant tactician, Mr. Leeroy Jenkins. XD
Usually, unless you bring up something REALLY old, it shouldn't be a problem even if you manage to repeat someone else's post.

[errdos]

ok. i didnt meant to be bearhat guy (although i love his hat). i just exaggerated to highlight the fact that i like the new character.

its kind of hard when the subject is unrelated to the news (like racism)

[Asterus]

Well, I can't see how jumping into that particular topic really could go wrong.
...
Well, actually I could, but that's just due to me being paranoid and imaginative. Just dive in with a personal opinion. This isn't Youtube, you are entitled to one
