Re: Member Announcements Thread
Ah, a new person smart enough to ask questions when they are lacking information. Refreshing. Ignore Toxic, he appears to be filling in for Obe given that he appears to be absent.
Mind the gap is old hat on ULMF. It was a phrase that, if I remember correctly, was first used because we had a number of people post an introduction and then nothing else - as if they'd said 'Hi' at the door, then taken one step forwards and fallen into some abyss, never to be seen again.
So, in the same way that people in real life will tell someone to mind the gap if there’s an unexpected pitfall, some members started telling people to mind the gap after they made their post in the introduction thread. We’ve kept it up since.
