Allow yourself to introduce yourself

[BillGordon]

In that case, you’ll fit right in. Welcome, Tim. How’s the rehab?

@BillGordon

Welcome, Tim. How’s the rehab?

Hey dude, good to see ya in the virtuals, and thank you for asking!! Turns out one of my fractures shifted and isn’t healing, and I’ll likely need a fusion done in a couple months…Soooooo, not looking to ride anytime soon

It’s all good tho, I’ll be alright!

[Tamatoa]

Yay, he is back. Bro, glad you are not out, well you can come out if you want, just not “out” like leave… you understand right?!

If that’s where you are cooking stuff now, I’ll take a table by the window in the corner please.

[BillGordon]

Sorry to hear. I think you’ll find your speed fix one way or another, though. Admire the attitude!

Thanks, dude. Glad to see you here so we can still be stupid together.

I’m super lucky to have a chance to contribute here, though. I knew I would leave ESN eventually, but never planned on leaving esk8 entirely. But this puts a new goal out there, and the mod team here is ridiculous.

I’m missing the instant insult when posting in a “General questions” thread tho.

@Andrew

The main difference here is that only The Watercooler category is off topic, every other category should be considered on-topic. The intention is to try to promote more focused technical discussion but isn’t limited in scope to FreeSK8.

@Andrew

I’m working on a FreeSK8 mission statement of sorts that will help frame what our project goals are here.

as the self purported king of derail… I welcome this line of thought, and that’s a pretty fukking awesome mission statement in of itself…

@BillGordon

“noob” is a bit off-putting and restrictive

how about an “ask and hope to receive”, type thread?
a lot of us while experienced, are building shit in a semi-restrictive box, and I know it’s helpful to bounce ideas off other like-minded individuals…

I know I’ve been assisted a lot with the combined knowledge of a collective vs. pull and pray approach

@k00k

how about an “ask and hope to receive” , type thread?

I submit ”I’m too fabulous for the search bar”

[BillGordon]

Interesting. Maybe “collaborators wanted” or some such?

[k00k]

NO… i’m 100% NOT behind that idea…

if you can’t be bothered to search and research your shit, you should be shunned

[Tamatoa]

Just leave people post there and wait indefinitely for an answer…

[k00k]

I typed it all out and deleted it all…

@BillGordon

I’m game with whatever “name” it is as long as it’s not basic “n00b” questions like what do red and black wires mean

[Creavenger]

Hey guys, finally got my verification email

[yikeslookout]

@BillGordon

because we’ve discussed that “noob” is a bit off-putting and restrictive, and that a more “new builders and general questions” approach might be better.

Thanks for the Welcome!

Yep, I’m sure there are people out there that view “noob” as derogatory and as a result are reluctant to ask questions.

[k00k]

I feel more view it not as a derogatory category, but many use the noob question forum as a crutch for lack of reading and research…

we really need a random chitchat thread instead of using the introduction thread lol

@k00k

Well, some of that will happen. Just let others field the softballs and wait for a hardball instead.

@k00k

but what does the yellow and green wires mean
