User talk:Sparkpanda1

Welcome aboard ^_^
Hi, it's me, Genesjs :) Well, since you're new here I'll try to help you out anyway I can. I enjoyed our first meeting last night, and I hope we can always get along like this :) I'm mostly on the Sonic News Network (SNN) but, since I meet you, I now have a reason to drop by here some more as well :) The SNN is another Wiki, like this one, except it mostly covers the "Factual information" on Sonic the Hedgehog releated stuff. All of my other friends were on this Wiki but, as I said before, I now have a friend on this Wiki :) So you can feel free to drop by there anytime you want. If you want to chat with anyone on the SNN, then look around for the Shout Box on the left side of your monitor, and type to anyone like how you were typing to me last night. BTW (BTW stands for "by the way". If you need anymore help with things like the "BTW" thing, then tell me and I'll tell you what they stand for), you can use the Shout Box faster by just pushing the space bar in the little text window, then hit ENTER afterwards. That will allow you to see new messages that anyone might type in the Shout Box faster, so you won't have to go back and forth between different pages in order to see the new mwssages that anyone has written. You can also click on a person's name on the Shout Box, which will take you to their User Pages. From there, you can look at their information, leave messages on their Talk Pages (You see the little blue button below your name at the top of the page, right? You can click those to access your Talk Page, Blog, and Contributions), etc. But keep this in mind: Do not, under any circumstances, edit anyone else's User Page, or the messages that other people leave them on their Talk Page (Editing messages the the User him/herself writes is also not a good idea, because altering other peoples messages, User and Fan Character infortation, etc. can be considered an act of vandalism, and you could get into very serous trouble (For example, you could get banned from the Wiki for a while, depending on the severity of your offense)). Anyway, if you want to stop by the SNN, feel free to do so anytime you want. I'm on there most of the time, so you can usually find me either in the Shout Box there, or somewhere else on the SNN (for example, I could be leaving a message on another Users' Talk page about this and that), so if you don't see my name (if you are ever looking for it on there), then try clicking on another User's name and look into their Talk Pages and see if you ccan find any messages on them that have my name on them, then you could click my name on those messages and it will take you to my User Page on that Wiki. Then you can leave me a message on my Talk Page (at the bottom there is a button that says "Leave new message". Click on that to write your messages to other Users. Once you finish writting your message, click on the "Save Page" button, and your message will be saved to that Users' talk Page, and they will be notified of about it soon after it's written. Also, while you're writting messaes on other Users' Talk Pages, be sure to press the space bar once after your done writting your message and leave four tildes at the end of them so you will leaver your signature on your messages, so the User who you are writting to will know who you are (Example: "Hi, how are you doing? ~(x4)"). You can also press the signature button on the message window's tool bar above the "Subject/headline" text box (but personally, I just type four of these at the end of my messages: ~). BTW, you don't have to type a Subject/headline in your messages, you can type them without Subjects/headlines. Messages that you type to other Users on their Talk Pages will be saved on them, and the same goes for anyone who leaves you messages on your Talk Page. As you can plainly see, you can type more text in messages that you leave on other Users' Talk Pages than what you can only type in the Shout Box, so you would be able to leave larger messages (like this one) to other Users. As I said, any messages that people leave you on your Talk Page will be saved there, so you can go there to look back on any conversations you have with other people anytime you feel nostalgic about them (unless you, or another User deletes them, then you'll have to rely on your memory in order to remember me talking to you about Hippos :)). Also, be careful of what you say to other users on the Wiki, because anything that you might say to them that they might find offensive (Insulting, hurtful) in anyway can give them an excuse to complain about you to an Administrator on the the Wiki, and you could, as I said before, get into some pretty nasty trouble and you could get banned from the Wiki (or banned permanently if you offend anyone or vandalise anything repeatedly). *Gasp* Well, that's pretty much the basics on how to use the Wiki. You can always refer to a Wiki's rules if you don't know what they are, what they mean, or you need to refresh your memory on a few things. Well, if you ever need any help with anything, or if you have more questions about the Wiki (or this and that), then you can always come to me for help. And as long as you respect other Users, they will respect you. Anyway, if you ever want to talk to me, I will usually be available around 3:00 PM Pacific Time, so you can expect me to be online around that time. So yeah, if you have any questions, you can always talk to me about them. So now that we got the basics down on how to use the Wiki to communicate with others, lets say we go ahead and skip on to the pleasantries, shall we? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2NmqDyAioc

P.S. You can practice leaving messages on my Talk Pages on any of the Wikis. I won't mind, you can type as many messages as you want on them. As long as you figure out how to leave messages on other people's Talk Pages, then I don't care if you leave a million messages on my Talk Page in order to get the basics down :) Anyway, I should usually be on here around 3:00 PM Pacific Time, so you can Talk to me here, or on the SNN around then (if you ever feel like going there. Don't worry, you don't have to go there if you don't want to, i'll talk to you here if you only feel more comfortable doing so), or I will eventually (or immediately) come looking for you. Feel free to chat with me about anything, I'm very good at keeping secrets if you ever want to talk to me about something personal, like how your day went, what you did after school, what are your thought about this and that, etc. I promise to never give out any personal information about you to other Users without your permission.
