I really like facepunch, I have been coming here since 2006 (this is my new account obviously) and it's just a nice organized forum. First off, it's very active, its also a very good forum loads of features and stuff. You have people from all over the world, and lots off funny interesting stuff going on. Enjoy your stay. Also I am pleased to see an introduction thread going so well, they rarely do. [editline]21st October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Dwragon82997;25560288]Join date is EVERYTHINGG. 05er's. Worship them. Disregard the soon to come 11er's.[/QUOTE] Really? I have noticed no difference in the way people talk to me on my new account and my old 06 one. Facepunch has slightly matured.

The single greatest piece of advice I can give you: read the forum without posting for at least a month.

I have been lurking since 2005 and still do not find it safe to post often.

The sooner that you prove you're a complete fucking loon the sooner you'll fit in. You've got to find your own "Nutcase Characteristic." Like Ryu-gi, for example. he had a fetish for mutilation and shemale elves. You also have to find "the golden ratio" between being a loon and being a banned loon. Like ryu-gi, for example. All it takes is one thread about masturbating over a woman being forced to drink the ground-up organs of a serial killer's prey before you're permad. [editline]22nd October 2010[/editline] also just an fyi if you say nigger in any context at all you will be banned for no reason.

[QUOTE=not_Morph53;25553062]Sometimes, sex is a pain in the ass.[/QUOTE] No, just being gay is a pain in the ass, I hope normal sex isn't. You need to know the story about the Big bomb, like the meaning Dan is boobies!

you should do a littel turn on the cat walk

[QUOTE=Ranger149;25563218]No, just being gay is a pain in the ass, I hope normal sex isn't. You need to know the story about the Big bomb, like the meaning Dan is boobies![/QUOTE] and Dan was boobies

[QUOTE=CaptainQuirk;25556651][B]Don'ts:[/B][/QUOTE] You forgot Don't think it's cool to see the number 69, 34, 1337, or 9001 and screenshot it then post it in a random thread

Theres some Facepunch history worth knowing. Like Dan and OIFY. Edit: Also I accidentally rated disagree on the "we hate furries" post back on page 1. FUCK.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this! [img]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxgHUXEvKzZ7Qc13ovM3BmvZqkiVlhi8oyXRPMgKd4fcVrjqA&t=1&usg=__A-JCCvasDsgtOPfcog0T9F7SFvA=[/img]

Surprised no one has said "ur a faget" yet.

[QUOTE=DJSergei;25551965]Dont use an apple avatar[/QUOTE] Why?

First rule of Facepunch: Do not talk about Facepunch. Second rule of Facepunch: Do [B]not[/B] talk about Facepunch

Don't post in ban-mes or spam threads Post intelligently Don't post dumb Full grammar and spelling Don't take shit seriously.

You should probably leave while you can. [QUOTE=The Mighty Boatman;25560730]The sooner that you prove you're a complete fucking loon the sooner you'll fit in.

[QUOTE=Pascall;25566707]You should probably leave while you can.[/QUOTE] Yeah don't waste your time man.

To become a facepuncher, you have to kill another one, and claim his account

I know it has already been mentioned before, but use common sense. I've been around for 4 years now, haven't been banned once. I do lurk a lot though (As I see many 10'ers with more posts than I have)
