I always wanted to know what people first thought when they signed up on their first forum website. So.. story time. Ill go first. When I first joined the forums, and I saw "Threads" I'm like wtf is a thread ._. Then I clicked on one, at first I thought that it was all made up from bots, then I realized it was actually people. And... when I got an alert, I thought it was like a tornado siren to all the players that something bad happened, until I clicked on it and found out that it was a notification. When I saw a "Signature" for the first time, I thought it was actually real and stuff, and I got scared because one signature had a picture of a naked black guy humping a KFC bucket for dear life. And then I found out that they were just GIFs(Graphic Intercharge Formats) Then I got my own signature(which I'd had for a while now)and it's super doper hardcore.
My first encounter was when I had to get unbanned after starting up a mini game in which I payed people to shoot me while I glided around. Got banned for hacks and then came back after appealing :D
I'm worse, first time I joined, I didn't even know where was the reply button [actually I know] but I clicked on it and erased it xD I didn't had a profile pic when I'm Active Member. LOL
I understand a lot of things so it was like I had used forums 100 times before. Although I am still learning new things/how to use some of the features :P
God it was so long ago... all I remember thinking was: "What's a Mineverse? Is it like Minecraft combined with a universe or something?" And I pondered that for 3 hours.
I got most of the stuff almost immediately, but I didn't know much of people's general opinion, so I didn't post too much.
