If they join and try to make a joke that doesn't go over, or if they don't realize that they should really make an intro post and start chiming in and get a cold response, or if they think they have a novel idea and will go toss it to the atheist horde only to find out we've heard it a thousand times.

I feel like you really just need a strong personality to survive the initial onslaught.

Yeah, I didn't catch on about the intro thread idea for a long time. Kichi gave me hints but I was pretty thick. It probably wasn't all that important to me. Seems okay just to join a conversation you're interested in. If there are interests in common, so be it. If not, try another?

That is probably the best and wisest approach, but, unfortunately, most of us don't roll that way.

My first kudos was from Evie: https://atheistforums.org/post-74127.html#pid74127 , he is missed. My first rep was from Sae, who else?

I also miss Kayenneh, whatever happened to her?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Wow, never realised anybody from this board had passed on. I remember somebody from .com was fighting cancer (Buckster?), but he also was banned shortly after that started.

Reality Salesman hasn't passed on. I still see him on FB and he recently bought a new house for his kiddo, girlfriend and big-assed dog.

Well good, Jesus! I just meant passed on from the forum world. Why doesn't he drop in to say hello or something?

Pretty sure you can always PM him to deliver that kick in the pants. Having a kiddo, a girlfriend and a dog is like the perfect trifecta of things to keep you too busy for forums.
