Welcome to Fluther!

eambos's avatar

Here’s an older welcome

Once again, come in and enjoy!

Grisaille's avatar

Ooh, me.

I’m a (diehard) fan of the Gawker blog network (particularly Kotaku and io9) and know that most commenters are quite intelligent, eloquent and insightful.

So far, all of the questions I’ve seen today are fantastic. I welcome you.

I kiss you.

jonsblond's avatar

Welcome! I promise you’ll never want to leave here.

@eambos There have been so many questions today, I missed that one. Thanks for the link!

jrpowell's avatar

Welcome. I read Lifehacker often. But I never bother to comment.

Grisaille's avatar

@johnpowell Cuz you’re wack attack

I’d also like to point out that the original article did not point to the communal aspect of Fluther (the founders swear it isn’t a community website, don’t listen to them. they don’t know what they’re talking about). Stay on here for a few days and you’ll start to realize what I mean. Enjoy.

GREETINGS HACKERS!!

cookieman's avatar

I have absolutely no idea who you people are – but I’d never tell ya to get off my lawn.

Welcome to Fluther. Come…swim with the jellies.

Point5r's avatar

Yup I always read Lifehacker, love it, saw the post about Fluther and thought well worth at least looking at, been on here for about 4 hours, and already starting to really enjoy it!

cak's avatar

@Point5r It’s a bit addictive!

Tink's avatar

Welcome Lifehackers
Sorry about the name confusing in that link from above…

jrpowell's avatar

We have a chatroom too.

DeanV's avatar

I was almost about to post one of those questions, but eambos was quicker. So I guess I read lifehacker religiously.

Welcome anyhow. Fluther will now steal your life away.

Not really, but you’ll be pretty addicted after a while.

Grisaille's avatar

@dverhey You had it right the first time.

The sooner you give in, Hackers, the easier it will be. Let it penetrate you. Let it in you.

Let it be you.

Darwin's avatar

Welcome!

Dog's avatar

@eambos Sorry if I repeated your welcome- I was getting lost in who I had welcomed and thought one big thread would get them all!

jamielynn2328's avatar

Welcome to Fluther, hope you enjoy your stay!

BhacSsylan's avatar

heh, I’m in the same boat as Point5r. This seems like a cool place, and I get to make use of some of my crazy random knowledge!

DeanV's avatar

Don’t mean to be rude or anything, but if you’re planning on sticking around a while, it’s better to change to one of your own avatars. Lots of the default ones can be really confusing. Or at least to me. Correct me if I’m wrong.

cak's avatar

@BhacSsylan I just read something you wrote…about the hot ice. I love the way you ended it…with the warning not to learn chemistry from movies. Very wise, new Fluther jelly, very wise!

Russter's avatar

Lifehacker changed my life

hearkat's avatar

Welcome!
dig around in the topics and add your 2ยข. I (for one) enjoy when old post pop up!

BhacSsylan's avatar

@cak heh, i’m glad you liked it. I do aim to please ^_^

Bluefreedom's avatar

A warm welcome to everyone from Lifehacker! “You’re going to like it here. I guarantee it.” (I swear I’ve heard that line from a commerical somewhere.)

cak's avatar

@BhacSsylan I’ll be watching for useless knowledge, it’s my favorite kind. :)

jonsblond's avatar

@Russter Fluther changed my life. I hope you like it here. Welcome!

FrogOnFire's avatar

I’m from Lifehacker!
And I gotta say that this is a really cool site; much better than Yahoo answers or anything like that.

BhacSsylan's avatar

@FrogOnFire Ugh, i second that comment on Yahoo answers. Definitely seems like a better setup (and community) here.

DeanV's avatar

Yahoo Answers has no moderation. Fluther does. That alone makes Fluther better.

tinyfaery's avatar

Hello people!

aprilsimnel's avatar

Hi, you guys! Welcome!

Saturated_Brain's avatar

Wilkommen, Bienvennue, Welcome!

We need a song to celebrate! Just change the key proper noun to ‘Fluther’ when appropriate.

Of course, we’re not cheesy and sleazy as that (at least, not all the time), but you get what I mean

augustlan's avatar

Welcome to the collective! Enjoy. :)

Ivan's avatar

Try not to suggest any changes.

jrpowell's avatar

I have a Random Question thing. I use it all the time when I am bored and want to find random old questions.

augustlan's avatar

@johnpowell You. Are a genius, my friend.

cookieman's avatar

@johnpowell: That should be incorporated into the site. The Fluther Shuffle.

Dog's avatar

@johnpowell That is awesome!

hearkat's avatar

@johnpowell: It sure IS random!

andrew's avatar

That was the inspiration for the ‘random’ command on the flutherbot.

tinyfaery's avatar

I’m bookmarking this page.

AstroChuck's avatar

Greetings and salutations. We welcome you with open testicles tentacles.

Tink's avatar

@AstroChuck Hehe, open tentacles

Dr_C's avatar

AC beat me to the greetings and salutations bit… so Welcome all ye Hackers to our humble little community!
P.S. try to keep your distance from both @AstroChuck ‘s tentacles AND testicles… both will sting you

kellsworth's avatar

I’m from lifehacker and i love this site already. i just hope that i keep up with it and not give up, like every other initiative in my life.

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Welcome :D I came to fluther after a site called wis.dm shut down and the jellies are great here.

SuperMouse's avatar

Welcome Lifehackers! Take your coats off and stay awhile – I think you’ll find you like it here!

Saturated_Brain's avatar

I just realised that the link on my answer was faulty. D’oh! Here’s the correct one instead. Enjoy!

Darwin's avatar

My nematocysts are your nematocysts. Enjoy the Fluther.

Dog's avatar

We have a lot more newbies today too! Fluther is rockin’

jrpowell's avatar

@Dog :: Don’t come a’knockin.

derekpaperscissors's avatar

Lifehacker keeps me relatively informed. :)

augustlan's avatar

@derekpaperscissors It looks like a pretty cool site. When I have more time, I’m going to go digging around there.

derekpaperscissors's avatar

@augustlan Yup, for most GTD, productivity, and computer related stuff, I usually head over there and search before asking here. Good articles, members are pretty informative too based from their comments.
