Adopt a Newbie! #25 Starting Over Again :)

Welcome to Adopt a Newbie!

‘Adopt a Newbie’ used to be one of the most important threads over the Newbies board. Now that we're in this new home called Info Center, some changes will be made to this thread (basically to suit the new home) but nothing major will change.

The Adopt a Newbie thread is a help system in which newbies get in contact with oldies to have some sort of support in the first days and weeks. Basically, the system intends to create a situation in which newbies can ask all kinds of questions to a more experienced member and also create a contact, a support, and more importantly a first friend in Fan Forum.

‘Adopt a Newbie’ is the place for Newbies to develop their own family at Fanforum. Newbies will be adopted by members of Fan Forum and their conversations will take place via Private Messages. Therefore, our ‘Adopt a Newbie’ thread is the place in which we assign a newbie to another member, we are the messengers and you do the rest!

How Does It Work?
Despite this thread being just the place in which we assign Newbies to Oldies, we still intend this to be a necesary step for the adoption. So, what we are asking is for Newbies to step into the thread and ask to be adopted. The moderators or whoever is browsing the thread at the moment will direct the Newbie to who will be becoming his/her family!

We ask you to not contact members on the list that are not on the first spot without consulting us. .

What Is the Adoption List For?
Normally we had several people waiting for Newbies to stop by and that’s what created the idea of the list. The list you can see being updated is our way of keeping track of the adoptions that take place. Members waiting to adopt are those oldies that would like to adopt a Newbie, so Newbies do not need to wait to be adopted. They simply come here and are inmediately directed to another member.

The list is updated as often as possible. Make sure you are consulting the most recent version of the list (you will find it always on the latest posts made on the thread) to avoid confusions.

Are There Any Requirements to Be Added to the List?
Yes, there are. Adopters must have been members of Fan Forum for six months. They must have at least six hundred posts. (This is to make sure that adopters have the knowledge about Fan Forum that would allow them to help other posters but also that they are regular, active members of Fan Forum).

Adopters can adopt as many times as they wish to, but they must wait for a period of two months between adoptions. Only posters that have recently asked to be added to the list will be added. By 'recently asked' we mean in the few posts before the updating of the list happens. If various posters are interested in being added to the list and there is only an open spot we will not keep track of such posters to add them on future openings. They will have to drop by the thread and ask to be added again


Can Newbies be Adopted More than Once?
Only on special ocassions. The idea is for Newbies to be adopted only once, but in cases in which the adopter is not available or in which the adoption process doesn’t go right, newbies must consult the moderators and expect them to appoint a new adopter to them.


For any questions, doubts, problems or any sort of thing with your adoptions (or with anything, for that matter) contact - cris -. You may do so using Private Messages or you may simply ask those questions on this thread.

And last, but not least... despite the serious tone of this introduction, adopting a newbie is extremely fun and everyone should try it! These rules we have added are rules that have been created due to the problems we have had in the past. So, don’t you worry! Just post you want to be adopted and the fun will begin!


Note about the new location: Our latest version of the list over the Newbies board only had ONE member, which was JoAFreak. I think it's best to start fresh so the newbie is starting from step one right now and it's absolutely empty. Of course, in the case JoAFreak appeared, she/he would be added on the number one spot immediately. I think that's the fairest thing to do

Looks like we have our first adoption in this new board!

At the newbies board we had a maximum of 10 spots, because things got incredibly crazy and once number 98 reached number 1 months had gone by, having a maximum of adopters waiting is much better, I've decided to have 15 spots, but that could change

Also, if anyone has any questions or problems do not hesistate to let me know, I know not everyone was familiar with the Newbies board.
