-- Posted by OverTheAir at 2:51 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Honestly, what's the point? Not like we can control if someone sticks around or not. -- Posted by Young Deezy at 2:52 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 The point is that we get to be statistics to a world that hates us, a world that fears us, a world that calls us fat lards with man-titties. -- Posted by iBritt at 2:53 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from Young Deezy at 5:52 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 The point is that we get to be statistics to a world that hates us, a world that fears us, a world that calls us fat lards with man-titties.

I like mean tittehs I like to squeeze my man-titties so hard, that milk comes out. And I sometimes squeeze the milk into a tall glass, and them I open up a pack of oreos, and dip the oreos inside the milk for about 10-15 seconds just so it gets moist enough. Then I eat the delicious oreo. -- Posted by OverTheAir at 2:56 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from Young Deezy at 5:55 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from iBritt at 2:53 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from Young Deezy at 5:52 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 The point is that we get to be statistics to a world that hates us, a world that fears us, a world that calls us fat lards with man-titties.    I like mean tittehs I like to squeeze my man-titties so hard, that milk comes out.

Who the fuck approved your app? -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 2:59 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 You can't control it, but the theory is that you can influence it if you are particularly welcoming and helpful. -- Posted by Young Deezy at 2:59 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 On a serious matter, having the novice statistics is a great way of competing with your fellow support leaders and getting motivation to actual be involved in helping your novices. -- Posted by iBritt at 3:02 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from Young Deezy at 5:59 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 On a serious matter, having the novice statistics is a great way of competing with your fellow support leaders and getting motivation to actual be involved in helping your novices.

Nice save I am going to eat pizza today and I am super duper excited for that -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 3:05 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from OverTheAir at 6:03 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from TheOtherHorseman at 5:59 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 You can't control it, but the theory is that you can influence it if you are particularly welcoming and helpful. Do you actually believe in this theory? Of course. That such an influence exists is pretty reasonable to state. Of course, it is probably not very appreciable or worth the investment in time to actively pursue. Fun fact: The only time I won the "novice retention award" was when I was on vacation away from a computer the majority of the time. -- Posted by OverTheAir at 3:08 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from TheOtherHorseman at 6:05 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from OverTheAir at 6:03 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from TheOtherHorseman at 5:59 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 You can't control it, but the theory is that you can influence it if you are particularly welcoming and helpful.    Do you actually believe in this theory?

Most of my novices don't even read the automatic messages sent to them.. so I don't see a point in trying to message them and sweet talk them into staying. -- Posted by hawaiinchuck at 11:34 pm on Oct. 15, 2008 Yeah i'm starting to think if i should start messaging my novices or not.  Because seriously, NONE of them since i have been a SL have stayed. It's bs. :( -- Posted by jamesish at 6:43 am on Oct. 16, 2008 Its goes up and down every day.  You could have a 6.5 one day and 2.1 the next.  Crazy. -- Posted by hithere at 8:04 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 all noob SLs make topics about novices. It's like the mark of a noob........................kidding -- Posted by audrey820 at 12:49 pm on Nov. 14, 2008 One of my novices yelled at me and called me a bad SL for not customizing my welcome message. :( I always laugh when I win that since I don't have a welcome message and I never even look at my novices, never mind message them. :/ It really is pointless.
