As you all know, the 08's will be coming very soon. WE MUST INFORM THEM. To do this, I am setting up a new 2008 member adoption center. Yes, I know that "Adopt a noob" or whatever has been made. However, that one has become nearly obsolete, and when the '08 users come, they should see some place where they can get some help.

So mods, please don't lock it. The adoption centers are a good idea to help people, and the '08 users will need some help.

Here's the general idea: Noobs who need help come here, and they ask to be adopted. The adopters send them a PM telling the noob that they will help them. Be sure to tell the noob in this thread as well, so the same noob isn't selected twice.

The adopter must give them a general intro of everything in a PM. Then, he/she must answer any questions that the noob may have.

If an adopter is not being a very good one, the noob can say so here, and he/she will be given a new one.

TO THE NOOB:
Need help? Don't know what to do? Just ask to be adopted here. Your adopter will provide all of the info that you need. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

TO THE ADOPTER:
To become an adopter, you must ask here or send me a PM. I will look at various things, such as post quality, post frequency, grammar, and generally how helpful you are. If you meet the requirements, I'll send you a confirmation PM.
All the adopters will be kept on a regularly updated list.
Very good adopters will be selected by me to be able to recruit adopters, and keep track of everything.
_____________
When you feel your noob is alright to go on his own, or the noob says that he's good, you may release him. Please say so in this thread.
If an adopter wishes to resign, just send me a PM, and you'll be taken off the list.
So, let's get started. Obviously, there are no '08 users yet. But I am taking requests for adopters right now.

Let's go! Mods, please don't lock this.

I take that one, yes, on the right.

He looks like he has some good arms on his him, I reckon.

I'll give it a shot.

Can we use them for sexual favors?

This sounds like a pretty good idea.

Sure I can help out, mainly because I dont want to see 500 topics about he same damn thing day after day. And I nice and stuff.

I'l adopt a noob! If you want a friendly hand in geting started without embarrassing yourself, PM me ( that's Private Message) if you'r a noob in need!

I'll try it.

Here is a current list of our adopters:

Name: Noobs:
Wasted Wizard None
flashplayer5 None
Sunglasses None
Sk8erGirl14 (If she accepts) None
Joshiwa None
masterguy-1243 None

Right now, members should spread the word about the center, but don't get yourself banned. This is turning out well.

Meh, sure, although I'm guessing you don't want anyone like me brainw- uh, teaching the newcomer types.

Doesn't sound so bad. I guess I'll adopt someone.

Ok. You seem to meet the requirements. *adds to the list*

Yeah i'm up for that, can i codename him Simmons though?

Eh, maybe they won't all be idiots this year, I'll give it a shot.

Adopting noobs? what happened to good old common sense and reading the rules? *sigh*

I'm not sure if I meed requirements or not, but sure, I'd be happy to help an '08 user (aka noob).

Sure, why not? It sounds like a good enough idea so sign me up as an adopter.

I can be an adopter!I enjoy helping people in a way that will tell them it won't matteri f they ask too much questions.
I might be a low level but I helped quite a few people on newgrounds.
(half on the art and flash forum.Other half is on any general newgrounds topic.)
But you could definately sign me as an adopter!
No question is too stupid for me.
Thanks.

Holy Overreaction?

Not even a single singup yet D:

I eat noobs for breakfast.

Only slightly though, only slightly.

Yes, me. I'll take one. Why not. After all, its not too long ago since I was a newb myself.

Okay, you seem responsible. YOU'RE ADDED!

My more recent posts may not seem like I'm that helpful much but I am more than willing to help and have 08 a fresh new start for me and any other person who decides to sign up here.

Yeah that sounds very reasonable.
And yes it probably will help the 08 users A LOT around here.
So that they can have a better start at newgrounds.
And so that they wont be flamed as much from the other users!
I hope I get to be an adopter.
But results don't always arrive on time.
Yeah I could help them ON SPECIFIC with 2 things.

It would be fun to adopt an 08er and help he/she or whoever it is.
