An Open Letter to All New Users (Revised)

racefan20 · #1 10-11-2006, 09:17 AM

Before you read this, please be aware that it is a JOKE - nothing more and nothing less.
There are some elements of truth to it, but the idea is to give you a laugh and that's all.

Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
Downloading Blue Voda, opening it and staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built. Posting here after staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built.
Posting questions on the forum is a good idea, but POSTING IN ALL CAPS or starting your thread with the not so original title of "Please Help Me!!!!" will not get you any extra attention.
A continuation of #3: Posting your question and then posting it again because you didn't receive an answer inside of two minutes is not necessary. Posting multiple threads on the same subject is also not necessary and should, in my opinion, be punishable by multiple wet willies and swirlies. (For any of our foreign visitors not familiar with those phrases, you don't want to be familiar with those phrases.)
Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
When posting your question, please take the time to make sure those of us who don't live inside your head understand what the hell you're talking about. Questions such as "Please help, I have a site and there are lines but no squigglies" are not questions - they are statements. When someone asks you to be more specific, responding with "well, I can't see the squigglies and I need this fixed" isn't going to help much.
When you've posted a question and people have posted back and forth with you to help you find the answer, it is perfectly acceptable to say, THANK YOU! Most of us don't get paid to be here, we just stop by to try to help if we can.
Please read #7 again.
There is a search feature on this forum, please give it a try sometime. Likewise, there is a well kept secret known as Google, which is a search engine where you can type in certain words or phrases and it will find you all kinds of things about those words and phrases from all over the internet. It's a secret, so don't tell anyone, but you can find it here: http://www.google.com/. They are rewriting the Old Testament to add an 11th Commandment of "Thou Shalt Run a Google Search". (Or words to that effect, they're still working out the details.)
Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
*****, Brad, Sarah and George are good people who work for and run Voda Host and try their best to help. If the answer they provide to your question isn't to your satisfaction, it is not necessary to pick a fight with them. Doing so will not get you any extra help, and you'll anger those of us who have the common sense to appreciate and respect them.
Watching the tutorials is a good thing!
Expecting us to walk you step by step through building your pages is a bad thing!
Putting together a simple "Coming Soon" page on your new domain is a good thing!
Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
Asking "how-to" questions about forms, search engines and eCommerce (etc) before you've even attempted to put together a simple "Coming Soon" page is a bad thing!
When a function you've put on your site (link, form, whatever else) doesn't work properly, there is NOTHING wrong with deleting it and trying again rather than first posting here and asking why it doesn't work.
If someone asks you if you have the latest version of Blue Voda and you say, "I think so", you don't.
Emailing me and asking me for help does not help other people on the forum with the same problem.
Last, but not least: Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
You are only allowed to make bald guy jokes if you are a two star general or above.

For anyone reading this, I'm very much just joking around. Of course your questions are welcome here and the collective group WILL do our best to help you. But, we don't mind one little bit if you do your homework first.

Your homework starts on the following pages:

LOL That was originally written in late '05 and when I wrote it, this forum was much, much different. There was a very small handful of people on here trying to help others and it became very frustrating at times seeing the same questions posted over and over and over when the answers were all out there.

It was always meant as a joke and still is, but because of a couple misunderstandings regarding its intent, it faded away. I still think it's a relevant source of a good laugh, so I revived and revised it. No one should take it seriously and thankfully, no one does. LOL

LadyEye · #10 10-13-2006, 03:38 PM

lol race ... it is pretty funny .and I chuckled with David's analogy of PMS ... where do our minds come from eh! ..

but I could think of one more revision ... lol

It really should be titled

An Open Letter to All Users .... lmao

(They don't even have to be new!!)

I remember when it first came out....I was still poking around deciding to come into VodaLand.
Back then it seemed that there truly were only a handful of "resources": you, *****, Pablo, Brad, Tomisan, and a couple others. And you all blew me away with your "technical expertise" so much so I was actually intimidated! LOL
(I wonder how many can see how much of an influence you have been to me, and how your "perspective" echos in my posts?)

You still blow me away. And, I am priviledged to enjoy your friendship as well. Keep things real with your presence and "steerage" General.
Besides....there are few left to appreciate my sense of humor!

Thanks for that, my friend, but don't leave Naval off that list - he and I coexisted at that point in time. If I didn't have the answer, he did and if he didn't have the answer, I did.

I'm honored that you've characterized me in the fashion that you have, it shows that my efforts here weren't wasted. All I ever did was offer a little help along with a heaping helping of sarcasm, but it seemed to go over well most of the time.

My presence is right where it belongs - an occasional post here and there. Us retired guys need our rest.

philipc9635 · #14 10-23-2006, 03:34 PM

Hey racefan

I have built a webpage but can't seem to publish it. I thought this was a free website builder??

Ha Ha, only kidding!!!! You should of added Hijacking another thread in there somewhere. Although I've probably been guilty of that myself in the past.

But I like your list. Its an interesting way of presenting a tutorial about the forum. Well done.

You're right...I didn't intend to leave Girogio off the list whatsoever (the double-edge of making lists at all).

It is pretty amazing though, when you really stop to look at it: VodaTalk has grown so huge that most cannot imagine what it used to be like. For me, the best comparison would be that VodaTalk used to be like what the Soholaunch forum is today. Only VodaTalk is friendlier, and has the VodaLounge to keep me in stitches while I massage my webbing frustrations!

>> You might even recall my old name "TheDiamondPro"?? I was the one who kept trying to find a way to publish using BV outside of VH....you might have even written this to shut me up, who knows??

LOL

LOL

It really is a different world than it was then. When I got home from work, I could open just about any forum on here and see several posts needing replies. Thankfully, it's grown to the point where I'm no longer needed here - that's a very good thing. lol

I do not recall that name, but it wouldn't surprise me one little bit if I left you a nice note or two.

I want to get something perfectly clear, there have been a few violations of the above clause 21, from this point forward clause 21 will be strictly enforced...violators will be forced to don the punishment avatar for a period of no less than 7 days.

Sir...You have gone too far, you have defaced three serving generals,
if this was Ancient Rome, you would be lion lunch by now, but since
they have banned that, you must don the VERY IMPRESSIVE bopping

Glomania: Nice picture, hope you are in punishment to long and allowed to post it...someday

LadyEye · #28 11-15-2006, 08:57 PM

Glomania .... Nice to see you ... no not as "boppy head" but as your real pic must be your two boys, nice!!... you will want to post that in your avatar as soon as your time is up. I think there may be a twin of your boppy head on the way, very soon, so don't feel all alone ... that "boppy head" does not become you ... so be good ... lol

To post your pic in your avatar, at the top of the forum you will go to quick links, find your profile and change avatar and post your pic there, the maximum size is 100 x 100 .... hope that helps when you are unleased ... until then ... keep bopping!! lol

Robert · #29 11-18-2006, 10:54 AM

I feel as if Ladyeye was referring to me as this soon-to-be "twin" boppy-head. A shiver ran dine my spine for a moment..

Just to be safe, I'd like to retract my outburst of laughter in response to Glomania's challenge to Rule 21 as a show of my personal respect for the generals and Rule 21.

Although I still fall out of my chair thinking about reading it for the first time!
=)

Classic.

Downloading Blue Voda, opening it and staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built. Posting here after staring blankly at the screen for an hour will NOT get your site built.
Posting questions on the forum is a good idea, but POSTING IN ALL CAPS or starting your thread with the not so original title of "Please Help Me!!!!" will not get you any extra attention.
A continuation of #3: Posting your question and then posting it again because you didn't receive an answer inside of two minutes is not necessary. Posting multiple threads on the same subject is also not necessary and should, in my opinion, be punishable by multiple wet willies and swirlies. (For any of our foreign visitors not familiar with those phrases, you don't want to be familiar with those phrases.)

When posting your question, please take the time to make sure those of us who don't live inside your head understand what the hell you're talking about. Questions such as "Please help, I have a site and there are lines but no squigglies" are not questions - they are statements. When someone asks you to be more specific, responding with "well, I can't see the squigglies and I need this fixed" isn't going to help much.
When you've posted a question and people have posted back and forth with you to help you find the answer, it is perfectly acceptable to say, THANK YOU! Most of us don't get paid to be here, we just stop by to try to help if we can.
Please read #7 again.
There is a search feature on this forum, please give it a try sometime. Likewise, there is a well kept secret known as Google, which is a search engine where you can type in certain words or phrases and it will find you all kinds of things about those words and phrases from all over the internet. It's a secret, so don't tell anyone, but you can find it here: http://www.google.com/. They are rewriting the Old Testament to add an 11th Commandment of "Thou Shalt Run a Google Search". (Or words to that effect, they're still working out the details.)

M ario, Brad, Sarah and George are good people who work for and run Voda Host and try their best to help. If the answer they provide to your question isn't to your satisfaction, it is not necessary to pick a fight with them. Doing so will not get you any extra help, and you'll anger those of us who have the common sense to appreciate and respect them.
Watching the tutorials is a good thing!
Expecting us to walk you step by step through building your pages is a bad thing!
Putting together a simple "Coming Soon" page on your new domain is a good thing!
Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
Asking "how-to" questions about forms, search engines and eCommerce (etc) before you've even attempted to put together a simple "Coming Soon" page is a bad thing!
When a function you've put on your site (link, form, whatever else) doesn't work properly, there is NOTHING wrong with deleting it and trying again rather than first posting here and asking why it doesn't work.
If someone asks you if you have the latest version of Blue Voda and you say, "I think so", you don't.
Emailing me and asking me for help does not help other people on the forum with the same problem.
Last, but not least: Blue Voda is a free website builder, but you must have a PAID Voda Host account to publish with it.
You are only allowed to make bald guy jokes if you are a two star general or above.

For anyone reading this, I'm very much just joking around. Of course your questions are welcome here and the collective group WILL do our best to help you. But, we don't mind one little bit if you do your homework first.

Your homework starts on the following pages:

Happy web building, everyone!

Now you've done it, General! A worthy post that bears repeating, true, but surely the 'bald generals' thing will be reopened as well. Do we still have the boppy head?
