    Some more advice...

    The best thing I did to enter the OT community was lurk for a few months with maybe a post or two per day. I saw how people act/interact here before I really got active. It's generally frowned upon when brand new forum members barge in and start spamming every thread with "nothing" responses to pad up their post count, and start making a bunch of new threads.

    There's a right way and a wrong way to join a community, use some common sense, please.
    I joined in Mid-October, and forgot about the Forums entirely, until November when I got so bored that I tried it out...


    One moment of randomness was worth it...

    It was posted some time ago...

    I did pretty much the same thing at pretty much the same time, only difference is I only got active last week.

    Goes to show that we need to be aware of what we do, because one action can change our lives...

    we are a close knit comunity, and some of us are rather shy about letting new ppl in. the best thing to do is to go on, being humbel and teachable. fun and forgiving.
    there are a few posters you dont want to meet on a bad day, unless you are one of the few friends they wouldnt chew up and spit out for talking to them before coffee. lol
    if your serious in the serious threads and fun in the fun threads then you'll do all right.

    just remember trying to plese every one will plese no one. just be your self and have fun. that is the essence of OT. a place for us to come and be our selfs with out fear of being judged by others. wich is what makes it so hard to get into. you have to prove that you are nonjudgemental while being judged. and then when youve done that you wont be judged anymore, but be one of us.

    I feel like part of the family already, there are a few things ive been wanting to find out but im getting there, and I proudly came up with an idea in the suggestion box earlier just to see if staples could insult it and he liked it which ive only seen him do once before.

    But it seems like you are a new member yourself...they obviously took you in quickly For the most part people on here seem friendly and receptive-I've been playing evony for a while but have just started to venture out on the forums...although one of the mods did bite me! other than that fun experience so far...

    Sorry didn't know! Still doesn't take away that people have mostly been friendly-although the dynamic on this forum is a little different than most forums I've been on..still fun!

    we do try to be fun, and we are a vary ecletic group, there are ppl here from ever walk of life and so many difrent countries that it is a delight to get to know them.

    i'm here to over come my shyness, so i can talk to ppl IRL without falling into a panic and running a way or fainting.

    Yea i think this is what makes evony overall so fun...all the awesome people you meet and the forums seems to be a great way to meet more and you seem to be very charming! should have no problem with people IRL It's part of my job to talk to people but I can see how this could be great practice lol
