I’m sorta new.

Zack_In_Black's avatar

I spend like 5–7 hours a day reading the Q&A’s. I just signed up though.

Hollister0221's avatar

well welcome to all. I guess I’m sort of new to. You can also tell who may be new by there score

Zack_In_Black's avatar

Yes, I created this account today, although I have visited this site hundreds of times. I spend several hours a day here.

Hollister0221's avatar

I would like to know who has been here since this started

sleuth9216's avatar

im not new! i’ve been here every day since i joined! i love it!

Zack_In_Black's avatar

@Sleuth: So how long is that?

sleuth9216's avatar

2 months i think or 3… im not sure

cheebdragon's avatar

You have a lot of time on your hands! Thats cool so do I LOL
Tip for newbies~
if you ask a question expect at least 1 rude answer from someone its normal.
Just ignore them, or do what I do and get into a argument with them about it that goes on forever. (I’m stubborn…and Im always right…)

I joined like a week ago? <3 Fluther To The Max!

sleuth9216's avatar

@cheebdragon i completely agree you can always expect one smart mouth

Hollister0221's avatar

and be prepared to get your question booted if the mods or someone else finds it offensive or not appropriate

sleuth9216's avatar

@hollister the mods may also just be in a bad mood its happened to me all the time

LunaFemme's avatar

I discovered & joined about two & a half weeks ago, maybe three. I’m starting to get my addiction under control & not spending every waking hour here. But I’m still on here way too much.

cheebdragon's avatar

sleuth- I have only been a member for like
A little over a month. Everytime I sit down or smoke I answer a question or 2 so I built up points kinda quick I guess

sleuth9216's avatar

@cheebdragon yeah, i don’t know why i don’t have many points. I answer a lot of questions. And ask a lot too.

cheebdragon's avatar

its all in the great answer button I think, it gives you +5 everytime someone gives you a great answer….I think… I’ll try it watch your points…

Hollister0221's avatar

How many mods they have? And do they participate in here? IF YOUR OUT THERE SAY HELLO!

sleuth9216's avatar

@cheebdragon yup you’re right
@hollister i think anyone can be a mod all you have to do is hit the flag button and i think that’ll do the trick but i’ve never tried it and i never will i never like ruining other peoples questions

Zack_In_Black's avatar

@Sleuth: AMEN.

cheebdragon's avatar

hollister~ I have to tell you that you look like my brother in that pic kinda, its a small pic but I had to do a double take just now because I thought you were my brother for 1/2 a second LOL

richardhenry's avatar

There’s nine, sometimes cruel but mostly fair, moderators. I joined October last year.

Hollister0221's avatar

Hey they say we all have a twin. Better yet what would have done if I were your brother? LOL

cheebdragon's avatar

now I’m just tripping out lmfao
but as long as you don’t live in Arizona, or do you?

Zack_In_Black's avatar

My twin is David Archuletta.

Hollister0221's avatar

no that was a pic of me at French Quarter Fest in New Orleans. My home town.

cheebdragon's avatar

Then I’m not busted….muah ha ha ha
j/k

Hollister0221's avatar

richardhenry. Bro I like you alot you answer questions all the time and good answers at that. But tell me are you a spy for fluther? LOL.

Zack_In_Black's avatar

cheebdragon's avatar

I know where I live…....most of the time anyways

sleuth9216's avatar

i know where i live too, pennsylvania

sleuth9216's avatar

richmarshall's avatar

I’m new….getting a look around for the first time. I can see how you could put in some time here.

cheebdragon's avatar

Richmarshall looks like my ex boss, he was cool he use to give us stuff all the time.

peedub's avatar

I’ve been on almost 1.5 months.

richmarshall's avatar

cheebdragon looks like a cool girl I used to give stuff to all the time.

richmarshall's avatar

I shouldn’t have started looking at fluther today, not enough time. My son has a track meet this afternoon and I am heading out to watch.

cheebdragon's avatar

thats why they make the iPhone, I have only been to the website on a computer a few times, I am a pro at texting now, but I have to charge my phone like twice a day because of constant use.

Peedub- I’ll catch up to you one day muah haha

peedub's avatar

You’ll catch up to me easily because I don’t really get points anymore. Don’t ask me why, but I only get about 5–10% of my points.

cheebdragon's avatar

there I gave you 5 points to make it more challenging

Alina1235's avatar

I started in march I love this place!

peedub's avatar

No, I’m given lurve all the time, it just barely makes my score go up. I don’t know why, some people just can’t add to my score. I think you still can, so thanks.

There’s a limit on how much one can give another, and I’ve also been told there is an algorithm involved. I’ve tried to inquire but no response. Maybe it’s a secret, who knows, who cares

jrpowell's avatar

@peedub After a certain amount of points from a person they can’t give you more. This was put in place after a few people got busted for having multiple accounts. So if you get a great answer and it doesn’t change your score the person that gave it to you has already given you as many points as they can.

peedub's avatar

Fair enough. What do you think the amount is? I would think it’s pretty low. I’m only curious because I think I must have “maxed out” at least 4–5 people. My curiosity is bordering on Tracy Flick status, so I should probably just drop it.

jrpowell's avatar

I don’t know the number. But I think it is really low too. I pretty much expect my score to stay the same now if I get a GA.

peedub's avatar

Word. Just curious.

zahava85's avatar

i’m new! i wish i was answering from an iphone though.. i have iphone envy.

Hollister0221's avatar

whats the average age?

bluemukaki's avatar

I came in the great Digg wave of Novermber (I think).

richardhenry's avatar

@johnpowell: and so it did.

oddrax's avatar

oddrax's avatar

hey thanksl I really like this community

richardhenry's avatar

Beats the Digg community, that’s for sure. All you see over there is sarcasm and jokes.

peedub's avatar

@RH- never done that, is it worth it?

richardhenry's avatar

What, Digg?

richardhenry's avatar

Flick through the stories, but don’t ever read the comments.

peedub's avatar

Cool, thanks.

LunaFemme's avatar

@johnpowell: I gave you one & your score went up. I guess I haven’t given you enough GAs.

richardhenry's avatar

@LunaFemme: he must be rubbish :)

jrpowell's avatar

@LunaFemme—I noticed.. The previous two didn’t change my score.

LunaFemme's avatar

@johnpowell – I’m pretty sure Ive given you a GA before. I’m glad my lurve still has value!! That will suck when it doesn’t. I don’t want to be stingy with my luv. {{giggles}}
