A quick note to our visitors who like to post 'first!' as a comment: I'm getting more and more reactions from people who find this annoying. It was fun for a while, but we've seen enough of those. Let's keep comments on topic - 'first' posts will be removed from now on, thanks!

About the Author
Bart Veldhuizen
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Thank you!
FFFFFFFFFair enough.
Difficult, isn't it? ;-)
You have no idea
It wouldn't have been correct anyway. Daryl was f- faster
LOL
Oh, and W00t! I've got my own posts category with my face on it! On my way to getting famous %^)
Firs....
Okay, that would be lame!
I totally agree.
'First' post, as wel as 'fist' posts (you've written it wrong in your last sentence ;), should be removed.
Whoops! Fixed.
Talking about fists... will them be deleted if posted by Chuck Norris? xD
It's annoying.
How about "Second!"? :)
Eighth!!! :)
*shakes fist in anger!* ;-)
These 'status' posts are great for goofing around a bit and having a chat. I'll do them more often!
NWO
I think 'first' posts are just cute and they're everywhere. just shows that there are people staying on bn.com and hitting refresh a lot ^^
barnes and noble??
He probably meant to say this website... heh xD
Do you also find spam cute or people knowing on your door and running away?
last!
Especially Links to commercial site.now that's annoying! However never keep a blind eyes of what could effects our blender community interests.I smell "Autodesk" spies here...
Spam messages are usually filtered out anyway.
Nobody gives a fuck if you're first posting on a thread on the internet.
Most likely there are others before you who read the post/article/thread.
You're probably some dumb kid, even if you made a comment along with your "first".
It's not like you climbed mount Everest or something, it's just garbage data, similar to spam.
I guess we need to give it more time before people will start acting up nicer on the internet.
Same goes for second, third and so on...
Let the first to be first ;)
Certainly, i'm not the first :-D
hehe, when you work with software, which requires a lot of work around action to take I came up with a work around!
What if the post would be like this:
Frist (!) of all I would like to tell that these news are awesome! No more 'First' posts :D
Guess what I would to with such a post ;-) It's not software that's keeping an eye on the comments!
thank you
Just Curious, how many people commented "first" that you had to delete? :)
None :)
First
Oh aren't you clever!
not first
Last! :P
To be honest, I'm not sure why a "first" post would be that annoying. It's not loud or obtrusive. It's a single work that's five letters long and easily ignored. Sure it doesn't add value to the article or discussion, but from what I've read a lot of comments (some of them my own, I admit) are in the same boat: non-constructive.
If I were you, Bart - which I'm not obviously (since you're famous and all) - I'd not waste my energy on such comments. Removing spam and hate, sure .. "first" posts almost seems like a waste of your time.
Famous people need weird hobbies, like scanning for 'first post!' ;-)
by the way, did U delete your posting about "game", just now?? why?
You mean 'Free Skies'? There was a problem with the attached video. The authors are restoring it now - once the video works, I'll repost.
I Love U Blender :-)
Since the ''FIRST'' time I installed you on my
intel 333, I knew you were the one for me !!! lol
:-p
Great decision. Those kind of comments are annoying and pointless
blender 2.6 is out !!
First to post here..Hah!!
First comment on this post did say "first"!?
P.S. Put an "If" in the beginning....
Since this is off topic anyway. I really really like the image of "winter" by Alex Glawion. It's fantastic. I didn't want to interupt regularly scheduled posts with that, so I'll just put that here...
good day.
Yes, it's wonderful I agree!
I don't mind a 'first' posting providing there is some real content also posted. Posting 'first' by itself is annoying; just what are you trying to say?
I like this, gave me great laughs, reading all the comments. And yea the "status" posts are a great outlet.
How it related with blender?
I don't find it the least bit annoying, but I'm probably just too lenient.
Thanks, I also find them mildly annoying in that they don't contribute anything useful to the topic at hand.
Blender need a site for Professional only, Ton has announced that I am still waiting for it.
Blender is ok but something you just wish people were not allowed to comment which make the whole
site feels like: not for professional but for jockers only.
Fifty-Second.
You know, something tells me people are going to start posting "Second" and "Third" instead.
Thanks Bart. I can live with the first posts, but I'm quite happy if I don't see another one.
I don't find posting "first" to be so bad. I think it's kind of fun to have a goal to try and be the first to post on something. I guess to some people it would be annoying though.
THANK YOU!!!
I got here late. What am I supposed to post, if not "first"?
I have nothing substantial to offer, but I like to be a part of conversations. You really are taking away my only outlet. . . .
Disagree 100%. This is not a problem, and it's not worth making a post about. It's not offensive, it doesn't hurt anyone.
This is a problem on the level of mixing up your Star Trek cannon. It isn't. Every person who agrees wholeheartedly has OCD issues.
Still, feel free to delete such comments.
Well, it's fine to disagree. That doesn't mean everybody who doesn't share your view has a mental problem though.
