I'm not sure exactly when and how TBAY was started, although I'm pretty certain there's an explanation of its history in th Fantastic Posts (which you can access from www.hpfgu.co.uk).  TBAY is short for Theory Bay, which is an imaginary place where personifications of theorists can meet and argue.  I guess it could be described as an RPG, except that all TBAY adventures revolve around hashing out theories.  Basically, TBAY is a way of phrasing discussions as actual arguments between people who are standing around talking to each other, which people invariably find either incredibly cool or incredibly strange.  It can be both.  Whether or not you choose to post in TBAY style is entirely your decision, and I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie.  Better to stick around a while and get to know everybody first.  Finally, it's important to remember that it's perfectly alright to respond to a TBAY post in non-TBAY style - after all, what we're here for is the theories, not TBAY.  However, I can tell you from personal experience that once you go TBAY, you never look back.

Hope that was what you were looking for,
Abigail
Who joined HPfGU in December '01 and is now wondering if that makes her an old-timer.


Laila: This si a more than sufficient explanation. Thank you. I've seen it done and was wondering... I think this particular post Pippin was involved in. I was going to ask her about it, but got distracted and never did. Thanks again for clearing that up. And if you've been around since '01 you are definitely an old timer.
