I'm not trying to be a jerk with what I’m going to say to you...I know you've mentioned in the past you know nothing about farking. However, considering how many times you ask for something to be done for you, it seems reasonable for me to ask you to consider learning how to do some of what you ask for here.

Once you learn how to create a fark, I believe you’ll enjoy this board considerably more. You would be able to make contributions to this board instead of asking for things to be done for you. I'm saying this, not to upset you, but to encourage you to become a regular contributor on this board. We always need more farkers here. I know you enjoy the Fark Board. I’d like to see some of your work since your requests prove you have a good imagination for farking. Give it a shot and don't be afraid to ask us for advice and technique tips. I know you'll be good at doing this and challenge you to start learning the ropes of what we do. I will be more than happy to respond to any questions you post here that will help you learn how to do this.

Start here: Helpful informaiton about farking

I sincerely thank everyone for be tolerant of this 57 yr. old who still thinks like a college kid at times.

Hey, you're not as old as you think you are. I'm 54. If I can do this, I know you can too. I'd really like to see you hang with us and start. I don't think anyone will mind answering your questions to help you. Come on...give it a try.

ok you all got me hooked. Ever since finding this site I've wanted to learn. I'll try.

Excellent! So now what you have to do is create something...anything...and put it out here by next Sunday. I've never worked with Gimp but several people on here use it. I believe you can also find some tutorials on Youtube to help you.

Remember...Submit your first fark to us by next Sunday.

Thanks for the information. So there you go VTDAD...start off with Paint.net and see how it goes. Anyone else who wants to jump in and help him...Please add your thoughts to help our newest farker.

I learned my GIMP moves form YouTube "Gimp Tutorials" start with something easy. Watch the video then practice. Refer back to video then practice. After you learn the basics it gets easier.

Then instead of asking for help you will be posting farks!

I downloaded Gimp again and my PC said it would be harmful to continue.

GIMP won't harm your computer. I would consider it a "trusted" download (I am an IT professional if that makes you feel any better about it). Try installing it from here. Once you've got that, your tutorials await.

Good luck! I hope to see something by Sunday- you always have great ideas. I actually look forward to reading/viewing threads started by you.

Paint.net is much more intuitive than GIMP. It isn't as powerful but it certainly is easier to learn.

If I can help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Teach a man to fish...

I will definitely be checking out this thread as I'm going to start trying my own stuff as well. I'll probably have some questions along the way I'm sure.

I just started a thread for beginner questions. Hope to have some new contributors for the new year! Welcome aboard!

That's a great idea! What you've created is excellent and very well written. This should help many beginners in getting comfortable with learning how to fark. This would probably be a good thread to sticky at the top of this forum
