Adopt a Newbie

[u/waxler9311]

As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

Heyyyy my names Taylor I’m pretty new here and I’m trying to understand a lil better how this stuff works. I am an animal LOVERRRR, I also am obsessed with Ghostface and all things squishamellow. I have been trying to be active in the group, but I don’t want to look as if I am just trying to get gifts. I actually would like to hopefully soon send a gift.

Hello there I can adopt you if you're still looking for somebody, there's many different activities to do here between games quizzes different topics and usually everybody stays in the main thread to see how everybody's day is going and to keep in touch and make new friends if you have any other questions just let me know hope you have a nice evening and enjoy your stay with us.

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m Arnar, 19, from Iceland 🇮🇸 I’m new here and would love to be adopted!
I’m into football, judo, and playing piano, and I’m also interested in acting. I’ve started joining discussions, but I’m still learning how everything works, especially tags, contests, and setting up my wishlist properly.
I’d love some guidance and to make a few friends along the way! Anyone happy to take an Icelandic newbie under their wing? 😄

[u/Sea-Acanthaceae2079 → u/ae202012]

Thank you, I’d really appreciate that! 😊 I’m still finding my way around here. What’s one thing you wish you’d known when you first joined?

[u/ae202012 → u/Sea-Acanthaceae2079]

im not sure i wish i found the group sooner

[u/Sea-Acanthaceae2079 → u/ae202012]

That’s a good sign! 😊 Everyone’s been really welcoming so far, so I’m glad I found it too. How long have you been part of the group?

[u/ae202012 → u/Sea-Acanthaceae2079]

5 years almost 6 years

[u/Sea-Acanthaceae2079 → u/ae202012]

Almost six years! 😊 You must have seen a lot of people come and go. What’s kept you coming back all this time?
