Hi, let me introduce myself. Call me Ron. I like movies that make me think or laugh my ass off, or scare the shit outa me. That is if someones watchin it with me.

In this first post I am also dropping a tips in large forums, there is often a race to be the first to post in a new thread, while tending to not contribute to the topic at all. Its not limited to forums though; popular blogs also had a lot of people trying to be the first in comment, whatever they had something to say or not.

Usually "First" or "Prime" are used as placeholders.

This trend tends to annoy bloggers to no end, specially those who pretends there is some resemblance of civility in the comments zone. Many websites, fed up with the trend, have a strongly enforced politic of erase first comments who only content "first comment" and similar lines, or even banning the repeat offenders. This has gotten the side effect of people becoming more creative into announcing his first place in the thread and getting away with it:

* In some system with Tree-style comments (like LiveJournal, free blog hosting and similar) usually the comments of "first!" are added as a reply to the real first by the same commenter.

* On the news-aggregator website fark, this is averted by a word-filter.
