At what point, in the publication cycle, did Peter join Brandon as an employee?

FYI Shiv's not a very nice person he's one of those heartless people that offers gifts like waffles, but it's all just a distraction so he can get behind you and make a spike out of you.

She stabbed me every time I ended with a,

damnation YOU!!! ¬.¬ I was bonded to a spren, I was a Knight of Ice Cream, she was my stabspren. It was all fun until I said,

What does a new member need to know in order to really fit in with this community? They don't really need anything but to join in and have fun. Posting an intro thread helps, as does posting a really really REALLY long and in-depth theory/post in book boards. And of course, not becoming spike-fuel helps immensely, so it's good to be nimble and good at dodging things. I personally will love you for eternity if you contribute to the wiki. What is a common mistake that new group members often make? I can't say I read the theory boards much, so I don't know how much we get the inevitable threads questioning things that have been answered before (Eternal September). That's likely to get annoying after a while, but is probably an unfixable problem. Has the community helped you through a tough or emotional time? I don't think I've suffered through tough times recently, but I'm sure our awesome community will if I ever have to. Is there a specific event/post/moment where you felt like you had transitioned from noob to accepted member? (hopefully spikes weren’t involved…) I'm still a n00b, just one with a spike. A fairly useless spike too, all told I dont post much, and when I do they're usually dismissible. Any theories I come up with are fairly easily debunked, if I haven't debunked them myself by the time I've finished writing them up. I'm technically capable, but too lazy and/or distractable to ever complete any large task. I can just about cope with admining the wiki, but only because nobody else contributes (I'm looking at you, reader! go edit!!) Tell me about your favorite meme or inside joke from the 17th Shard. (For instance… what’s with the waffles?) I'd say my favourites are the spikes; those members that register but never post, they've been taken by the admins and used as spike-fodder. Each of the staff members have been imbued (as Eric would have said) with a spike, the admins themselves have a plethora. Another meme we've got going on is the unfinished Ball. The Mistborn RPG that Eric and Kerry run have been stuck dancing around the same ball-room for nearly two years now, with no end in sight. That is one hell of an orchestra, and kitchen staff. OH OH OH, and another: Eric stalks ALL the ladies So watch out Is there anything you think I should know about this great community that I haven’t asked about? Other than how awesome all the members are? One thing you casually overlooked, as so many do, is the Coppermind. You should ALL go and contribute some! NAO!!! Joe

indeed, I can agree that IE6 is objectively one of the worst pieces of software ever

You're friend's obviously never seen a REAL man

I thought Eero was a girl....

Congrats Windy, we're glad to have you spiked

Hey there Jon, great to have you aboard. You should watch out for the admins, for they'll spike you, but claim they're just offering waffles.... I dont think they realise we're on to them XD I'm still waiting for your credit card details

Hey there lil, great to have you aboard you'll want to watch the admins, they might spike you What's your favourite Sanderson book so far?

Hey there Khalan great to have you aboard. You might want to watch out for the admins, as they seem to enjoy spiking people.

Hey there Vandelyk, great to see you on the forums. Twas nice too see you in the chatroom too

*passes you a coffee* still awake? Hey there Bronzy, how's it going?

And a very happy birthday to Thorondir

Otherland is one of my favourite series', and his other works are pretty darn awesome.

I guess it could be an application of two magic systems, one from a splinter of Aona and one from a splinter of Skai... *shrugs* that's just an off the wall guess

Afternoon Tea with Brandon the last part of this post:

Great to have you aboard miss Holly Did you enjoy Brandon's books much? I dont know if that works, coming from you Zas XD being an admin and all...

Evening, scoop. Great to have you aboard, and I hope you enjoy this place as much as we all have

The professional versions let you use MFC, which is sometimes something I as a non-pro user come up short with. Other than that, its a whole lot of productivity tools tbh.

Bit like Python vs Ruby, The Python Way ascribes a single way of doing things, where as Ruby is probably rather messy (never looked at it, but it's always fun to hate on XD)

Sir Feeki of the Order of the Cosmere, sounds pretty awesome
