The title explains it all. If you're a newbie and simply can't resist the idea of making a "Hi, I'm new here" post, then post it here. I'm tired of seeing every newbie thread instantly bursting into flames, so this thread is a little experiment to see if it'll make life as a board admin easier.

Ground rules for this thread:

1. This thread is not an invitation for regulars to act like morons. If a newbie makes his first post here, then either welcome him or leave it be, but DON'T BE A DICKHEAD. If he makes an intro post somewhere other than this thread, feel free to burn him to a crisp.

2. This thread is not an invitation for newbies to act like morons. You must remember that you're introducing yourself to a bunch of trigger-happy flame warriors, and all bets are off once you leave this thread. Please put your best face forward and DON'T BE A DICKHEAD.

3. If any regulars want to post introductions for themselves here, such as their favorite type of metal or their pet peeves, they can feel free to do so too.

4. Naturally you don't have to make an "I'm New" post if you don't want to, but now that this thread exists, don't post them anywhere other than this thread.

Awesome. Glad to see a thread finally made for this. Good job

Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go work on my lists.....

Hi everyone. My name's OSheaman and I go to college at William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. I enjoy large breasts and getting stoned. I hope you can find a place for me in this great metal community.

EDIT: The poster below is trying to smear my good name by insinutaing that I discriminate against small breasts, when I of course do nothing of the sort. I am a welcoming individual. And some people are saying that my opponent is a homosexual who gives HIV to little boys. At least that's what I heard.

Hi my name is Reaper. I'm 19 years old and I attend college at Stonybrook NY. I like to masturbate, get stoned and drunk. Also, the poster above me is delusional and often makes things up about others in order to make himself feel better for he listens to faggy Power Metal.

Hi, everybody. My name's Pyrus and I'm not an alcoholic, but that's only because I can never finish anything I start. I'm a freshman at the University of Redlands in southern California and enjoy hard liquor, writing, threatening to shit on people's relatives, and thrash fucking metal. Unlike other posters, I do not engage in petty edit-wars on Morrigan and Hellblazer's bandwidth. Please send me your liquor, for though I now have plenty, I can always use more. That is all.

Avast me mateys! I be the scourge o' the seven seas...ye savvy? Stay outta' the way lest ye wish to be tied up and keelhauled.

Sum' o' the best sea chanties that ever graced this world:

Running Wild - Black Hand Inn
Running Wild - Pile of Skulls
Running Wild - The Privateer

Finntroll - Forsvinn Du Som Lyser(that be me pub song, mates)

Ensiferum - Iron
Ensiferum - Sword Chant

Thyrfing - Draugs Harg
Thyrfing - Mjölner

Howdy, I be Shovel.

Favorite bands:

Brutality
Bal-Sagoth
Manowar
Eulogy
Slayer
All Out War

I hail from the hurricane magnet known as Florida.

That is all.

Greetings you worthless pieces of shit (gain my respect and you will be worth something.) Listen to thrash and black metal - I do. I also have a beer belly. Chicks dig this combination. Boobs are great, but small boobs are sexy in a strange way - a different way to the way that big 'uns are. I'm also British, so I enjoy mint sauce and marmite.

And if you're a hot chick from the UK, PM me, and maybe we can sort something out. Can I say that?

i am the clans man. at the time of this post i have the highest post count on the board. however, reaper makes 2837283752 posts a day so by the time anyone gets a chance to read this he will have 5 times my post count.

i give this thread a 1 in 17 chance of working the way its meant to work. yaay.

Hi i'm Shadow0fDeath...also known as Shadow of Death

Basically i'm a 14 year old with too much time. Most time spent online or writing music. I listen mostly to black metal. Black metal is more than life for me. I go to highschool. Graveland must be hailed or be cut down by the sword!

I can get carried away at times, but all in all i'm a pretty cool guy with anyone until you become an asshole or complete moron. I contradict myself occasionally, but i really could care less.

I'm getting into the label aspect of music with Metal Underground Records. So far 2 bands are signed and i'm getting friends of mine to send me demos of theirs which i release to the public, and help promote them in return.

I also write reviews. I've been lazy the last few days to write more, and haven't even listen to much music unless it's a classic of mine which is always necessary to play.

Brazillian thrash and Bay Area thrash are best no matter what people say.

My projects are: Apocalypse (US, not progressive band), Anatomy, No Mercy, and Shadow of Death....2 of which have full info available on slsk and links to every place known with info on the projects.

Oh and i'm listening to Celtic Frost right now. Other than my usual classics i've been listening to Celtic Frost a lot more recently even though i've never considered the band to be that amazing.

Hello im the Fatboy and im...... erm well...... im fat ...... and old

i like
guinness
kebabs
and muff diving

i dislike
women who wont let me Fuck them
annyoying knobheads
and running out of food



thank you for listening

peace and love and to all

What about Emoticons?

Just reserving ma place... So I can Edit it later and be in the first page of this (in some future) glorious thread....
I will edit it later, when i can think better of bands i like.. for now all you should know is Rhapsody rules and symphonic metal in general tooooo.

Edit:

I'm Manu_SwordMaster ... from Argentina... I Study Economics... and Im finishing.... It sucked... but.. meh...

Fave Bands:
Rhapsody
Nightwish
Blind Guardian
Stratovarius
Sonata Arctica
Elvenking

I'm Druj. I'm Swedish, blonde and work as a librarian. When I'm not working or being a cliché with legs, I harass Morrigan or post other unimportant crap. Right now I listen mostly to Lefay, Wolf, Finntroll, Exodus, Dismember and Tad Morose. This list will most likely change soon, but I will be too lazy to modify this post with the changes so this will have to do. That is all.

I'm Vigaljot (I really can't stand the fact that I joined here writing my nickname with a little initial...is it possible to change that?)
I am from Sweden/Italy (or the other way round...) which means I keep moving from one country to the other quitting jobs twice a year until I figure out which country fits me best. Maybe I should just stop half way somewhere in Deutschland (Berlin rules).
I study foreign languages and work in an airport...not today 9/11
Bands I don't like: Motley Crue and the like
Brutal Death a la Dying Fetus
All the modern shit that infests this world (Korn......)

Great non metal bands: Clan of Xymox, Das Ich, Einsturzende Neubauten

Dave Mustaine is the greatest

I'm the first person with less than 80 posts out of 17 (I think) to post on this thread. I come from Tasmania (that's the little island south of Australia with hardly any metal culture. Except my friends. Half of whom think that God Forbid is metal - and people still think Slipknot are awesome).
I listen to mainly black metal, gothenburg, Euro power and orchestral stuff. And Finntroll.
I think metal should be for everyone! Except for people who are shallow or don't have a sense of humour or have differing social/political/moral viewpoints from my own.
HTH
HAND
PS. My girlfriend has small boobs but they are still nice.

i am.... i am.... one who sacrificed an old account which had something like four hundred posts and was vaguely accepted to begin anew, and has been striving to re assert his claim to absolutely nothing for a while now. seemingly to no avail....

Hails & welcome to kalashi, good to see yet another aussie on here.

I'm PhantomOTO. I hate God and want to eat his children. My favorite style of metal is heavy metal, i.e. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc. etc. etc.

I'm the poster formerly known as OfHateAndWinter. I think I'll say so in my sig, temporarily, to avoid confusing everyone.

I'm 19, and come from Tasmania, Australia. I'm more awesome than you because my mother named me Damien. I like metal. The end.

I'm The Riffer, I like Thrash, Power, Death, and Heavy Metal.

I like chicken too.

Hi. My real name is Dmitri and I'm from San Francisco, CA. I used to post under the name Cobalt but eventually changed it to this. My favorite genres are by far black and death, though I can tolerate and even enjoy other genres in small doses. I know that jew Pyrus in real life, and we used to go to SEXY PARTIES together before he moved.

I'm starting at UC Davis fairly soon, and I majorly have the hots for Kyle, who posts under the name Osmium.
________
Ford Motor Company Philippines

Hello everyone. I'm PainMiseryDeath and I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Death metal is my favorite, but I do listen to a lot of other metal from time to time.

The fuck??? Cobalt the banhammered one??? From banned to mod?? How can that happen?? (not that I see anything wrong, just sounds strange)

and Why did OfHateAndWinter changed to a new account??

I'm Baron Bozaloshtsh or The Baron, either one. I'm from BC, Canada and I'm attending UBC. I'm a dual citizen of Canada and England. I was born in England and I'm of Danish decent.

Well, I'm cyclone from Slovenia (country next to Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia (no, there isn't any war here and never was (not counting that 1 week ''war'' in '91 and world wars and stuff...)) which is developing really fast, also metal-like. Music is my life, I also play the guitar and go to school like most kids do here I mostly listen to thrash metal nowadays, but I also like some other genres (heavy, power, speed, glam)... My favourite band are Savatage, and these are my favourite thrash bands:

Heathen, Metallica, Megadeth, Cyclone, Exodus, Flotsam And Jetsam, Anthrax, Testament, Atrophy, Coroner, Tankard, Sodom and on and on...

:nono: I can't believe you have the hots for Kyle. That guy sucks.

Is he good at sucking? If so, that could explain it.

He's so sucky he sucks at sucking. Suck.

Wait, so DBK is Cobalt, holy crap. This whole time I thought it was shovel for some reason. Hot Damn.

YOU FOOLS! I AM COBALT!

The Jews have silenced me

Too late to edit... now I understand .. thanks...

EDIT:

THE VAST ZIONIST CONSPIRACY STRIKES AGAIN!

4.66

technically this is still the same account, i just asked if my name could be changed, because i use 'slitopentheskies' on aim, msn, and yahoo. no other reason than that, really.

I'm Phil

Some of you may know me from the DigitalMetal board or from shows in Cleveland. Anyway, just sayin' what's up.

NP: Darkthrone "A Blaze In The Northern Sky"

I'm PseudoGoatKill aka Siffen09 aka Sycophantic aka Linda. I got into the metal scene last year, after years and years of listening to nu-metal. I like all metal as long as it has some sort of harmony, and melody. I'm frequently submitting bands to the archives, many of them from New Mexico. I also write reviews for this site.

I was also the reviewer for a local TV Show here. Let me tell you, reviewing for a TV show is a hell of a lot differant than writing a review.

I will also say right now, that my reviews stand. I will not change a review/rating unless I deem it necessary.

I'm addicted to VA Comp CDs, and have more of them, than I do regular CDs.
