edited December 2024 in Chit-Chat
There are lots of people who have been here for years. Are you newish? Been wondering about an inside joke that everyone else seems to get? Trying to piece through name changes? Wondering anything at all? Ask here. You can ask in general or tag someone.

RULES:
1. You cannot ask about the circumstances surrounding a ban.

2. OGs- this thread is for noobs. No devolving into inside jokes!

    Up until a few days ago I would’ve asked about the cream puff joke. Now that those threads were revived, I don’t need to.

    I have a question for you. What was the adopt-a-noob thing initially about?

    helping new members figure out how to use MFP and reach their goals. It used to/ still is a real thing, just not as popular as it was.

    unless Leut has another story?

    Well, I'm part "newish" on my mother's side... some great recipes but so much guilt.

    Is there a cross-reference / index for the ever changing / evolving usernames that you OGs use?

    Then RomaineCalm found that hankering was a synonym.

    I expressed my displeasure.

    And then this happened:

    I’ve been Hank ever since.


    I didn't realize that actually stuck/went anywhere.

    Huh.

    why are you associated with nipples

    I don’t even know. That’s a @leut_underpants construct. I swear he has inside jokes with himself. I just play along

    @DeadliftsAndSprinkles and I started that off I think. I messaged everyone I had as friends on ig and mfp that this was the plan. Most people declined to participate. I messaged people that I was not yet friends with on mfp to do it but unfortunately the message glitch had started happening and I didn’t realize my messages weren’t being received. For that reason I felt it flopped, because it was meant to be a prank on Cap, not an exclusive joke for just a few members.

    I think I’ve been here off and on longer than I thought. I’m like, ya I’m a newb but then again I know a good amount of the inside jokes.

    I've been here forever and I still dont get the inside jokes people have around here but I also skip through alot of the dialogue so I miss a lot.

    I can't even answer this, all I know is I started getting messages outside of MFP asking if I had died and people were commemorating me.

    If you die, I'm slathering myself in crunchy peanut butter and posting a new PB selfie daily in your honor.

    No, no - it was good! I don't remember what thread it was but it looked like @Caporegiem had gone crazy because there were about 15 posts in a row with the same photo, so it was like he was having a whole conversation with himself on here :D

    You did it again 😂😂
