An unfamiliar party?

Archive: 24 posts


So, maybe it's just me, but LBPcentral feels a bit like a party at a strangers house, where you don't know anyone...everybody else chats it up, loving each others levels, and the new guy sits in the corner sipping a rum and coke feeling lonely...2010-10-11 15:22:00

Poem for getting known!

I say - hi, you say - hey
- How you doing? - nah, ok
-What'sYour name? ... This is mine
- ...Well, I am doing fine
Nice to know you
I am quite new
- Well welcome here
nothing to fear
This is quite a nice place
I am sure people will like your face
So I think I will get you introduced
I am sure they will be amused
- Well, thanks for that
For you I take of my hat
(Though I wear none)
- Well, consider it done

Tada!

When I first started hanging out at LBPC I found the best way to get to know people and let them know your here and willing to get involved is to play people's levels in the level showcase and leave feedback for them. Good Luck2010-10-11 17:42:00

You could always do what I did, don't act like your new, act like you've been here and just talk to people. 2010-10-11 17:45:00

IDK if I'm well known yet or not.

I know everybody else though.

Lurk around for awhile and learn the population, then make your way in.

do something good that makes you stand out; have a funny signature or do some crazy art, or just be really nice 2010-10-11 20:33:00

Don't worry, you'll fit in soon.

A good suggestion would be to make an introductory thread i the Introductions forum (if you haven't already) to get to know who is friendly etc. Then, once you find some people who reply to that thread who sound nice, just start messaging them on their profile. You'll soon make friends, I met a lot of really nice members this way.

Good luck! ^_^

Or do what I do!

Lurk. For over 1 year, post occasionally but remain at LBPC.

General threads are not the best way to get known, but it can work sometimes.
I'd say try to leave feedback in the level showcase, partcipate in contests, even if you believe you won't win. You might have something other people don't and maybe that'll get you noticed.
Hope that helps.

Whatever you do, don't do a ding'n'ditch on any of the mods, you will be locked inside a dungeon for a whole week, feeding on nothing else than crumbs of old and almost-undigestive bread and a glass of water a day.

In the early days they had you tied up, while lashing at you with whips. They stopped it when a variety of members began to do ruckus daily

There are various ways m8, but mainly you just gotta be active, how can you spect people to recognize you if you're not seen anywhere but in a single section of the forums?

Post a lot. (without spamming/ double posting of course, that'd just get you in trouble.)
The reason myny say I became "known" was because of my hyper-activity in the forums. XD

A solid/ original username helps too, which I gotta say you got well.
A signature that's unique as well too, with a recognizable avatar helps really good, since many people recognize other users on avatars only, otherwise you're "just a lint" to them. (sometimes0

So yeah, Just get your Avi/ sig and activity on and you'll soon more attnetion than you want to.


Hope that helps!

You wish the old days...what? XD

Take mine off if you like

(Bad quality, but it's the only one I could find of just that section

Get out of the corner, find a group of people talking, and make a passing comment to make them laugh! Then, leave that one, find another, say something else funny or witty. Repeat until popular.

I like rum and coke.

Anyways, my advice would be..
- Post! In a non spammy way of course.
- Leave some feedback on some showcase levels that interest you.
- Add images/pics to your levels! I rarely play levels without them.
- Find an avatar that displays your personality.
- Show off some art if that's your thing.
- Make unique levels. (I'll be sure to check yours out)

Hahahaha don't worry about it. Just start posting in a lot of threads. I don't post all that much, but I think people are starting to get to know me.(Are they? idk) One thing I suggest though. Get some sort of avatar and sig, that way people can distinguish you from others 2010-10-12 05:41:00

Well looky here EvilWuun! Looks like you are making friends now! GROUP HUG EVERYONE!

You don't have to join the hug, but if you don't you're a loser. Just kidding.

But yeah. Everything that needs to be said here has already been said. Great advice guys!

Edit: What midnight_heist said earlier, find an avatar or sig. It helps people remember who you are. I forget names a lot.
