Rewjeo Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 of the 28 topics on the first page of the Introductions forum, 14 have "Hello" in the name. 11 Have just "Hello" in them. There are two that are variations on the word "hello." One with "hi." Two with "hey." One with "howdy." Only three do not have a word that could be interpreted as a sort of hello in them.

Rewjeo Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 And? I just thought it was interesting that this community is just so very creative. 40% of those topics' titles are almost identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Except that generally, when you make an introductory topic, the focus is not on being creative or smart, because you don't want to give a bad first impression, it's on making a good first impression. hi/hello/hey are deliciously non-committal words to use to that effect... in fact... I like them so much I want to make an introductory topic right now. Edited July 19, 2010 by Slowking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Well it is the introduction board. And what is the most common introductory term? Hello is! So I think the lack of originality is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Perhaps the point of an introduction thread is not to be creative, and thus a person's creativity cannot be judged on the basis of their introduction in a goddamn forum. Perhaps. EDIT: I, slowking and acey are all very creative ourselves. See how we all give the same answer in different ways!

Esau of Isaac Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's almost like those words are used when introducing yourself to others. I know, fucking insane idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Don't look at me. Mine was called something like "About time I actually remembered to make one of these". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is in FftF. It's not exactly meant to be taken seriously... WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME Also, I fail to see what's so creative about a sig or avatar. Taking some random stuff from other places (99% of avatars and 90% of sigs) doesn't strike me as creative. Things like writing, composing, choreography, drawing, painting, sculpting etc. strike me as creative. Slowking should write a book, too.

You're not a real person until you get an avy/sig and will be ignored thusly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I will be ignored by people talking to me? YOU MEAN I'M LIKE AN IMAGINARY FRIEND?!

Rikter Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I think mine was either a poll or it was "(whatever my display name was) enters!" I didn't make one because I made it my new policy to never make an introduction topic for myself unless the introduction section has 0 topics.

Strawman Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Is a person with an avy but no sig or vice versa 3/5 of a person?
