Hey there! My name's Marquis, but most call me Mark. It's a pleasure! I hope to get to meet all of ya and maybe learn the ropes as I go! I absolutely love books! I'll read just about anything (keyword being just). I'm not too into the whole "fan-fiction" thing, but if I was ever asked to read one, I would jump at any and all chances! I'm not too into video games either (Never was allowed to play them as a child, just now getting used to them!), but I'll give just about anything a shot. Only system I have is a XBOX 360 (Besides a PC). I also believe in "luck" and "chance"! I know, odd.. But I am absolutely fascinated by it! I always carry around either dice or a deck of cards. It makes life quite interesting when you roll on it. You should give it a shot! Honestly, I have mixed feeling about being here. No matter which forum I try, I always seem to run into a batch of... not so pleasant beings. I really dislike hate being absolutely everywhere, so I'm hoping to have a better experience here! So.. I guess my likes would be Dragons>Books>Music>Board Games>Video Games. I was recommended to try Role Playing, but I can't see me being any good at that. I absolute love watching my friends role play, though! It's like a story taking place right before my very eyes! Ahem.. I think that's more than enough! Once again, it's a pleasure, and I hope to meet all of ya if I get the chance! Have a nice day and luck be with ya!
Welcome to Everypony, make yourself at home. You wouldn't happen to be a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, would you?
Hey, welcome to EP, it's nice to meet yet another fellow bibliophile ^.^ Although it's prolly unrealistic to expect not to run into unpleasant people on the internet, we're a pretty pleasant bunch here, so I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience. At the very least, we have a 100% literacy rating lol. :derpe: In case you weren't aware, in addition to the forums we also have a radio that plays brony made music 24/7 when we aren't using it to host a show or event; we also have a chat room, a large fan-fiction collection, a shoutcast to play pony music on a smart phone and a bunch of other cool stuff. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the welcome! Actually, I haven't played Dungeons and Dragons in many years.. I did enjoy when I had the opportunity to play with my close friends, though! I love all the different aspects of the game as well as how everything is randomized. And when you add in background info around the character you use, it gets pretty intense! But like I said, it has been years since I've played, so I can't necessarily say I'm a big "fan". Huge respect points for saying bibliophile! Actually, I'm fine with some unpleasant people. It's when everyone seems to be out for blood that things get upsetting.. I'd rather stray away from that sort of situation. Thanks for the welcome as well as the info! I think I'm gonna like it here!
Welcome to EveryPony.com! Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need some. Also, don't forget about the Chat section! Carry on!
Thanks, I'm really liking this place so far! It's.. definitely a new experience. Thanks! I think I'll be avoiding that Chat from now on.. Just not used to that sort of thing.
Actually, if you don't mind, can you explain to me the difference between blog posts and forum posts? I was thinking about making a blog post; however, if it's pretty much the same thing as a forum post, I'll hold off on making the blog post.
A blog post is a post you make within your own personal blog, and you can say anything about any topic you want, so long as it's in line with the site rules i.e., no swearing, posting offensive material, etc. People can read these and comment, so it is very similar to a forum thread. Starting a thread in a forum is usually to discuss a specific topic or ask a specific question, and you have to post it in the right section of the forums where people will read, discuss and respond to your post. In their mechanics they are very much the same, but the audience and the content are slightly different.
Alright, thanks! I owe ya one! I think I will lean towards a blog post then. Thanks for clarifying! And no, I don't intend on breaking any rules, I just didn't want a large discussion.
You're not late at all, thanks a bunch for the welcome! Also, have a great Valent- er, I suppose Hearts and Hooves Day!
