I'd love to adopt a "n00b" (I hate that word). u2u me (click "send u2u" at the bottom of my post) and I'll show you around.

Same here, if anyone needs adopting i'm here to help...for some reason my adoptees never u2u me or ask for help....which means i'm either a really good adopter or a really bad one...you decide

Can you please explain if you have time, what someone would adopt a new person for? What is the purpose, and should I be one of those people adopted since there are many things I lack knowledge in.
I appreciate the time you have taken to read this.

From the original post:
"adopt a newbie!
are you a new member, confused about the murky ways of ATS? are you a regular willing to give guidance to a new member?"

Basically the idea is that a member who has been around on ATS for a while can provide advice and tips on how to navigate your way around the forum, how to use some of the functions and answer any questions you may have regarding posting, board etiquette and anything else. Any questions you have can be directed to your adopter via u2u (personal message).

The advantage is that it saves the forums from being cluttered up with questions about the board itself (questions that will be repeated each time a new member signs up), saves the mods from answering a million u2u's a day, saves new members frommaking embarassing mistakes and losing heart, and provides a more personal welcome for new members thus making them feel more a part of the community. It also gives "older" members a chance to feel good by helping someone out.

I'd be happy to adopt you. You can send me a PM/u2u to me by clicking the "send u2u" button at the very bottom of my post.

Hello. I am willing to be adopted. I joined this site to research Neurocam.com

I woulds like someone who has either heard of this site, and is currently researching about it/knows everything about it, or is willing to learn about alongside me.

Hello,

I have been reading ATS for a while and finally joined up.

Testing a post here ....

Hello, mortals. Will someone please adopt me? I am cute furry, loveable, and in need of a home(j/k). and if u have an interest in BL i have a post up there.

heh, dont know why i never posted here before. stupidity, i think.

Anyway, i hereby offer my services for any and all, cool cats preferred. u2u me for a good time! i also do aim, irc, blogs, barmitzvahs, and kids birthdays!

If someone would like to adopt a strong willed, independent "child" I would be thankful. U2U me.

not a baby, but based upon the avatar, id be your baby anytime!

Well, since I have none, and have made so many mistakes her by misunderstanding rules, and how to post in bold, italics, and lnks when to put them when not to out them, so my question is who wants me? I?m average.
