I know it hasn't been just me seeing this or -D-, but has anyone else noticed how many more people have come to Dtoid recently? Especially posting blogs about how they are new and new and/or need friends/want to promote their stuff? I am not dissing them or saying they can't do this, but is more of noticing this occurence.

What caused this? You think G4tv had something to do with this? Or is Dtoid just getting super-dupper-rediculously-cereal popular?

If you are a newb, not to call you out, how did you come across Dtoid?
(note: this is not an excuse to give your life story here, go to the forums and try to do a introduction - "greet/I am new, be gentle!" post for people to read. k thanks!)

Do you think us regulars (won't try to list our names cause I know I will leave someone out and get flamed) can take this rising of new ones?

Let's NOT get swept under the rug!



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude!

I wonder what I'm considered by you guys' standards? A newb, or a regular?

I've been reading Dtoid for a while and decided to finally join. One can only take GameFAQs and Kotaku for so long before it drives you batshit insane.

to be the first one to answer your question, i am a noob. i found this site through digg. i used to check digg every morning but i kept finding that all the cool and/or hilarious news bits about gaming linked to destructoid. i also noticed that (most of) the viewers who comment on this site are usually funny. so i joined.

i love this site.

Of all the regular commenters, who (me) would you say (me) is the funniest (you mother fuckers better say MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)!?

I came across it because of an article on games as art. after reading it i was all like "Yo this is pretty sweet, a gaming site that takes games seriously" of course I was horribly, horribly wrong.

define "seriously"

Yeah, we aren't sure what you mean by "seriously"...had you said cereal there wouldn't be a question in our mind.

I came across this site through Kotaku. After seeing its sheer mediocrity and less than stellar community, i decided to stay.

Google "Snaileb" and see what happens. My mom (for some reason) and my boss do this at least once a month for entertainment.

I cannot specify my alcohol level at this point and time.

Infiltration, Blindside. Don't screw up and put "penetration" though, that's just plain awkward

Some guy I've never met is talking shit about me on Gamefaqs.com (I don't have an account there).

It also means bold in german or some crap. Weird right? That's why Im a little more careful about stuff I type. It creeps me out. And me and the Webmaster from G4 are B.F.F.
