Thanks everyone. So what exactly are Troll's?
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[5][6]

This sure is a big forum, kind of hard to figure everything out. Did you upload your own avatars or is there a place here to choose one?

Other than the secret handshake, the password (It's "Cookie"), and SkepticOverlords birthday, I think you're set.

We have fun here, glad you decided to join in....
At the bottom of my post, is a link to a thread where some of the BEST avatar members have set up shop to give/make avatars for anyone who needs them. Free of charge, or course. Just click on the link Sweet Pea...and go get a new wardrobe. They made my avy there...
Have Fun!
