I'm kind of against this whole thing, 'by the way', as I think it's rather too normative for my tastes. That's not to say anything about what is being said, I just thing we're getting to prescriptive.

I see no point in lurking for a long time before posting, but then my first post was about Colourbox and not Analingus.

Remember that 'a lot' is two words.
Do not try to pick up ILXOR-speak in order to fit in. Languages only evolve by immigrants saying 'this language sucks, let's slash the seats',
Don't complain that everyone is cliquey and unfriendly. Even if it's true it will make everyone hate you even more.
If you don't get a joke, it's probably not funny.
Remember that a lot of things are only on here because everyone is assuming that someone else must like them.
Don't make too many threads just for the sake of it. No one knows how many too many is.
Less 'meta' is betta.
Bring a little bit of analingus to everything you do.

Hm. Well, it's not funny to you, but maybe the fact you don't get it is funny? To other people? Who are mean? And will call you names? Maybe.

Which isn't to say that chatrooms don't pose dangers. I know from my own experience that if someone is trying to pick a fight, and I find myself intervening more than once supposedly to try and talk the guy down, then something inside me is looking for a fight too, and I've got to back off and look at my own problems. But that info doesn't belong in advice to newcomers, and is more likely to scare someone than to help him.

I agree with the just-jump-right-in faction, except that I also think it is good to do a search first if you are thinking of posting a new thread. But there's no need to lurk for a year or read a hundred threads before posting.
ILX is both cliquish and welcoming, in my experience. No one here has ever met me in person, as far as I know (with the exception of one rare celebrity poster on ILM, and one poster I invited to ILM), yet people started responding to my posts pretty early on, and some seemed to go out of their way to be friendly.

It would be a cool to see a list of every ilxor sorted by date joined

I wonder if it’s to the point where an early ilxor could veritably pwn a newbie by saying “I’ve been on this site longer than you’ve been alive”
