So this is what it's like...

Hi everyone! I finally found the courage to join this site after many months of coming here. It's astounding just how much I've learned from you guys, and I'm hoping that I could possibly contribute something worthwhile. While I'm being honest here, I have to say that i'm kind of nervous about all of this (encouragements would be most welcomed) but excited to be learning the rope. and to all of you out there- thanks for having me

hello! and welcome to the boards!

If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM!

cheers!

what a nice intro.

hi, so apparently I'm not allowed to send PMs to non-staff
But i was wondering...What's a flag mean?

Hey there and welcome to the best website on the internet ... don't be scared we don't bite ... well ... a few do but we keep them locked in the attic and never feed them after midnight

It might be a little overwhelming to begin with but you'll soon get the hang of things and be posting like a 'pro' ... enjoy the time you spend here and I'll see you on the boards

Welcome, c'mon in, the water's fine!!
(Except for the occasional whirlpool and boiling bits...)
Nah, you'll be okay.

I'm excited to see your perspectives! You'll be able to send PMs after a bit of activity.

What are your topics of interest?
EDIT:
FLAG means someone finds your thread worthwhile!
