Girls on the internet is a myth we are desperately trying to prove. (I'm a girl too). Try the Games forum for any RPs. Welcome to the forums.

We all know intellectually that there are girls on the Internet somewhere...it's just that they keep disappearing right about the time we show up....

Hey, kind of a newcomer here, I've been reading Goblins since almost the beginning, loved reading the forums for a long time also, just spontaneously decided to join the chat. Nice to meet you all!

By the way, is there anywhere I can go to read up on the abbreviations. I know a couple, like OC is original content (at least in my experience). But I don't know terms like OoC, OP, stuff like that, in regards to the gaming forums. I just joined pretty recently and wish to become a regular contributor in the games area but I'm not quite hip to the lingo yet. Help?

Hello, I am completely new.
I've read and loved the comic for a while. Did a bit of lurking around the forum too, and decided to say Hi.

Hello. I'm new to the forums but I've been reading Goblins for a little while.

The forum I used to frequent has been dead for a while, and I figured I may want to get more vitamin crazy in my life.

Apparently this is a much more common thing that I had thought. I am a lurker who just decided to finally join.

Hello everyone...
Well without lurkers who become members, we wouldn't have such a diverse group of people to chat with and gain more opinions from.

Welcome to the Forum! Please watch out for ninja penguins, large dragons, men with mustaches, and the Cthulu type creatures that run around here.

I don't think it's that common. Maybe only if you need some postcount-dependent features and don't have anything to say on other topics.

I introduced myself on this "temporary forum".
Again I'm newbie, my name is Borys, I'm from Poland, I started reading goblins a few months ago, comic's great, but I didn't like first part/chapter/book/however it is called.

I have a stupid newbie question. On the old forum (I was lurker, or rather just a guy who was looking there, a few times) I saw thread with every issue and list of characters that were in them. And also thread with every character list of appearances. Is it all lost now?

From what I have heard it isn't completely lost, but the last couple months were lost. I think Bird is remaking the list.

I don't think so, the law is 13. There might be another law in Poland regarding your age, but I don't know about that.
