So after a few days of a friend nagging me, I finally joined this site.

Giant Bomb Forum FAQ. Welcome aboard. Please leave your sanity...I mean your coat...at the door.

Welcome to the sexy party. Enjoy your stay.

Who's the friend!?

I was not told about this...

@Napalm: Don't worry, there is no sexy party... I'm just going to the shops... be back in a few hours.

hey, welcome.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

What else is there to say?

Oh, look I made a rhyme!

Despite poetry being as valuable to me as a dime.

(Yeah, it's shit, I didn't decide to make it a little "poem" until halfway through writing the second sentence).

your introductory package of unwanted venom is on its way from the lords of the high post count. welcome aboard.

Welcome, Enjoy your stay, Don't ask about new Endurance Runs and I think we will all get along here. Also Here, let me get you started.

Apparently your post count starts from 0, like any proper indexing. Welcome.

[Edit] Oh, it's a blog post, not a forum post. Either way, hai.

Welcome new friend and enjoy your stay

Welcome to the site duder.

Hey new person!

@believer258:

I find myself similarly inspired, though perhaps to a greater and more disturbing extent. Here's my attempt at a Shakespearean Sonnet:

I welcome you to Giant Bomb, and hope
you find the time spent here well spent and filled
with pleasure, and not pain.With trolls do cope
I ask, and you might find yourself fulfilled
in the still company of friends and those
who you may not agree with yet still love
to talk, converse, and argue with (in prose,
for verse unwieldy is, games to talk of).
This soft advice I hope you heed and hear
for games are only a beginning here.

Do homophones count as legitimate rhymes?

Run, while you still can!

Welcome!

Hey hey hey. Welcome aboard duder! Don't let the crazies scare you off!

Hellooooooooooo!

Welcome...back.

As far as I'm concerned, homophones do indeed. But I thought that Shakespearean sonnets were ABBA rhymed, not ABAB?

Not saying this against you, mind; I just had to write such a sonnet for my Creative Writing class and it played fast and loose with iambic pentameter, so I hardly blame you. Quite good, if I may say so myself.

At the place I used to work I would not talk to the new guys until they proved themselves worthy. Prove yourself worthy. NOW!

You know what, never mind. I got a good feeling about you. Hi. Welcome. Beers are in the back. Take as much as you like, because I personally hate the stuff. Just remember, any lady you see in this joint, I got dibs.

Also I had too much fun writing this post. You should see some of the stuff that got cut. Man is it dumb. (it would have to be I mean look at the dumb stuff that made the cut) Are you still there? Hello? Fuck. Alone again.

Why didn't you guys give me a proper introduction? :(

Upon further investigation the rhyme scheme IS ABAB until the couplet but I am however missing a quatrain.

Still, a worthy effort I think.

You are now one of us, you can not undo this.

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

No Brad meme yet? You guys are falling off your game. Also, welcome duder.

@NegativeCero: No time for memes knowing the sad news that he'll be gone after PAX is over.

...yup.

Introduce YOURSELF!
