A great, unsung friend of mine hipped me to this site and I've been reading some of the very entertaining stuff on here, and as like attracts like, thought I would introduce myself.
Hand held up as a multi-media chin-stroking type in the midst of a commission who wants to suck on the marrow of the underbelly of y'all.
The gurgling impasse of writer's block you say? Ohhhh, perceptive buggers aren't you.

I reckon this newbie's going to be brilliant. He'll be like Seth Cohen only... 35. He might have had a long relationship behind him which sadly drew to a close, but it's ok, he's not fucked up about it. He's ready to settle down, but hasn't lost his thirst for knowledge. He gave up smoking when he turned 30 and doesn't regret it. He found an Eames chair in a skip and he's going to give it to the woman he's going to marry...
It's no good, I can't paint a word-picture of a grown-up yet hott man. I'm really trying. I'm so keen and so ready, but there's no images in my mind to draw on. I can draw you a skateboy in an instant, but a non-skate Man?... it's not working. GAH.
Anyway. In 50 words or more (no one-word answers please!) What do you think this newbie's going to be like? What do you want this newbie to be like? If you could create the ideal newbie - the thing we need right here, right now, to invigorate the boards - what would it be? Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

What AHMNWG should be like
Remaining initially assexual - it never pays to flirt too soon - AHMNWG will tease posters out of the woodwork by starting witty yet slightly intellectual threads on Life. A mixture of creative writing tasks that will re-fuel jonesy and elvis and debates that get London dusting off the keyboard, AHMNWG will ensure that Life is for living and that the F5 key is never used in vain. His introductory period will culminate in a Christmas thread, perhaps a TMOPanto, thus firming up AHMNWG's alpha status for 2005.
What AHMNWG will be like
Like PTIYPASI and MNIJ before him, AHMNWG will regret his choice of username. He will have to work harder to become known because people will confuse him with MINJ when they skim read threads, and really what does AHMNWG sound like in a readers head anyway?
AHMNWG will sooner or later show his area of interest - music, computers, websites, comics, films - and will hang out in Media Junkies, Music or Web, talking small scale with fellow fans. He might have an argument with Boy Racer about who directed the most obscure Japanese horror film, or compare notes on bands with Misc, but it's unlikely he will infuse Life with, well, life. He will contribute to other threads, the ones on TV programmes, and the funny ones about jobs and wanking, but it will be at least 2008 before kovacs recognises him apart from MINJ and NWOD.

Yeah we should all dream of having a newbie who can inspire the boards to a "TMOPanto". For the sake of the little Jesus, what low ideals you have! Maybe you also fondly hope that this newbie will reinvigorate the "From Dusk Til Dawn" marathon of embarrassment, where the community's less-talented writers pretended to be interacting in a pub, or the TMO Murder thread, which was like listening to a bunch of no-hopers from a "Find Your Prose Voice" creative workshop playing Cluedo on the radio.
"ANHMWG" has already totally nixed all chances of being a decent contributor to this board, through
a) wannabe offhand daddio tone, like "lay it on me, I heard this was a place to hang out", like Cher's gay friend in Clueless wandering into her dad's house in a Sinatra hat and drawling "nice pile a'bricks you got here."
b) starting a "hello I'm new thread", surely a sign that a contributor has nothing to add but the novelty of their own appearance.
c) writing posts that manage almost supernaturally to be without any content whatsoever -- like spiderwebs, there are thin lines sketched around gaps, between solids, but try to grab one of this newbie's contributions and your hand will break right through it, snatching damp space.
What this newbie will be like:
-- will respond rather than starting anything solid and worthwhile of his own. Board persona will be based solely around interaction, as with FPP: probably along the lines of
quote:Hey, no need to shoot me down.
So I'm new, don't know the score? Maybe you show me the ropes, we settle in.
Is that how it's done on here? Skeedaddle and maybe later I'll check in for more.
Looks like a cool joint.
-- will make FPP seem like a more established part of the community by contrast, and probably indirectly do him favours in that respect by being more irritating of two weevils.
-- will engage in chat (tone: flirty/enigmatic) with those most open to that activity: this chat could conceivably stretch to four pages at times, giving the false impression that the thread in question is the most interesting and "popular" on the board.
-- will not be here in 6 months' time.

Sorry to take so long to reply, just got back.
Firstly I am no one’s alter-ego. Duplicity takes a patience I can only boggle at.
I’ve never once dipped my skanky toe into the foetid waters of any online shanty towns of disparate intellect huddling, not even the ones where shooting fat fish in a bucolic barrel is where most wannabe wordsmiths like to go to cut their teeth (not a clue as to my leanings, more a direction of my distraction), but heard tell of the legendary whip-crack banter and drip-dry droll badinage here, so shit on a stick without the stick, you can only imagine my glee that this forum is of knicker-bunchingly nirvanaesque proportions.
I will, no doubt, being an uninitiated newbie, blunder into conforming to every mal-nourished stereotype the big guns have so portentously saddled me with, but I will be lacing up that strap-on of responsibility giddy in the knowledge that even the most sanctimonious scoffing pricks that populate the hinterland of electronic debate can be polluted by the bottom-feeding plankton of the lowest order that I grudgingly represent.
Kick me or ignore me, I float on your tender mercies like a cheap British submarine sold to the gullible Canadians.

You might be right but I suspect what happened is that people were not loathe to post, and cheerfully failed to meet the standard set by early contributions, leading to a sorry falling-off.

Isn't that loth or loath in this context? Genuine question: I have come across usage of 'loth', 'loath' and 'loathe' used like this and I thought only the former two were accurate. Bne?
Posted by mart (Member # 32) on :
The verb is loathe. I loathe your posts. (Meaning I have an aversion or dislike of them.)
The adjective is loath. I am loath to post. (Meaning I am reluctant to post.)
An accepted (but less common) variation of the adjective loath is loth.
ETA that having also checked my Webster's the above would seem to apply to both US and UK English.

Why not post on a few other threads as well, broaden out the conversation a little? If you don't like any of the threads you see, consider starting your own - anything you fancy discussing today? A 'hello I'm a newbie' thread generally ends up winding people up because it looks like attention-seeking. Decent newbies get shedloads of attention anyway - so why not flex your vocab and intellect on a few of the other threads going on elsewhere?

I like this new damo, he is sweary as ever, but with deep inner love. It's a perfect fusion of caring man and angry skinhead abuse. America has done wonderful things to you.
Posted by damo (Member # 722) on :
i always had the deep inner love man. just when i worked in liverpool i hated my job, my journey to work, the fact that i'd spent most of the weekend awake on something that might not have been legal, i was in the midst of emotional turmoil blah blah blah.
now i'm happy with work, happy with my life etc. the only thing i'm not happy about is my husband is in england and i'm in nashville.
but that's being fixed shortly.
ahem.

[troublesomechate] I saw the lomo site. I was supposed to be buying one. I saw one, still in it's box, an original russian....125 sponds. I wanted it. I have a photoshoot on Saturday. Budget is about 10 pouns[/troublesome chate]
Posted by damo (Member # 722) on :
i'd say ebay but they is still expensive. do you not know anyone with one?
i'm sure in the landahn there must be loads of lomo-ers.
Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
Aye, but I have my trusty SLR. I'm interested in what someone would say to taking a photograph on the underground. I'm using 800 black and white film. Shutter speed and aperture?
Posted by damo (Member # 722) on :
i have no idea, when i do my stuff with my seagull i wing it. big aperture, fast shutter get lots of light but frozen movement. sometimes.
Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
Are you winging it on your seagull? Apt. Hopefully Waynster will pop in and post something by tommorow lunchtime, or any other aspiring fo to gra fers. This boi needs some sleep, in my bed, now that the bedroom has been painted. :bliss:
Posted by Waynster (Member # 56) on :
Ask and ye shall receive.....
It really depends what you are trying to capture - mood settings, say if you are doing someones portrait, slightly overexposed with them backed against a wall and an essence of motion blur of passing commuters looks nice....
... or again a slow shutter (1/4" - 1"), medium aperture and you can get interesting shots of the bussle of commuters embarking/disembarking a train - get a little bit of burn through from the lights.
Trouble is my shots tend to be a bit cliched, and I fear a tad unoriginal, so perhaps I am the wrong person to ask. Where's Colenski when you need him?
(Incidentally, if you want to see how sickeningly good he is take a butchers at His site - not suprisingly, the commissions are now coming in)
Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
Thanks for that, frustratingly, I cannot get behind the camera so I have to rely on someone else.

Posted by Waynster (Member # 56) on :
Whats the deal for tonight then NW? A bit more scope and maybe the masses on here maybe able to help.
Plus I have Colenski on the email so can ask him advice. He is so good he makes you want to puke.
Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
Oh, its Saturday. Basically. I'm ripping some Underground artwork so I thought some pictures on the underground might be good. I like raw pictures too, so I was thinking of trying to use the bulbous mirrors on the corners to get a reflective shot. The trouble is, with my photos is I do too standard a job. I get all the detail but everything ends up looking a little grey generally and I want it to be dark, if anything. Because I'm using the SLR, I want it to be a little sharp. I'd prefer a smaller lens, but I'm stuck with a 50mm one at the moment, I did have a 30 knocking around for portraits but its gone the way of every other item that I have lost through several moves. As long as the photographer crops it all correctly as he goes along I should get some good captured images. i thought it high time I started to be pro-active and the guitarist was all excited about it. So here I am. Asking for advice.
Posted by Waynster (Member # 56) on :
Word from Colenski:
"Underground Stuff, go for grainy!!! Is what I would do. Very High ISO. To get very instant impact and an arty look get the image in photoshop play with the contrast, saturation, highlights and shadows with the levels tool. Check out on my site the picture of the hands at the bar near the end of my portfolio. The original image was really dull, until I PSd it.
Of course you are limited by your gear for quality with 35mm so that's why I would go off on an arty path."
Hope this helps

good job of turning this thread into an information collection on photographicals. Dispite the wisdom of kovacs pointing out that this dude may do me the favour of appearing more interesting than i actually am, i really wish, (considering the fundamentally bland posts, and complete lack of opinion of AHMNWG) this thread would turn into a "Fuckoffanddienewbiescum-a-thon" I dont wish to start this, being a newb myself, i dont profess to have the right but i do wish he doesnt come back. The vocab that is used by AHMNWG sounds like my dad trying to ingratiate himself into the room posessed by teenagers at a family christmas party, "HEY! yoo groovy kidolas" *has door hastily slammed in face by embarrased offspring* "and dont come back till youre sporting a spliff that is ready to be passed, then, once you have passed it, you can fuck off all over again" basically, come back sporting an opinion AHMNWG

I think Middle has been told to gather data on the type of people that frequent online communities: what kind of social groups do they come from, what jobs do they do, do they meet up in real life - to discover whether virtual communities are a viable seeding ground for viral marketing campaigns. I think he's been warned, however, that community members tend to become a little techy if they suspect that's what you're up to, so he's attempting to blend in by adopting what he sees to be the social mores of his chosen community. Rather like an upmarket version of Vanilla Daisy and the Malibu Spiced Rum fiasco, except I suspect he's researching the notion of marketing to communities itself rather than attempting to subtly peddle a product. If I'm right do I get a prize? Maybe my very own www.movingbrands.com mousemat or something? Hope so! Posted by 2@ (Member # 715) on :
