I think I was the second person to join this forum I'm not sure, but we were reallya very small group of people, in the begining I used to not post too much but then I started getting really addictive. Everybody made me feel very comfortable. It was really a great experience
I felt very welcomed when I joined this forum. My newbie post so far has been the one post of mine that has received the most replies :--> I think the initial responses I received helped me stay with the forum and this is something that most other forums are lacking in.
I had to go back and read the posts. Yes, I was welcomed, but I am not sure I remember receiving them. I think I may not have set the notify feature. :--> I love this site and the people on it. I am glad it is a friendly, well moderated forum. I was a bit concerned when I first joined because I have been a part of the e-mail lists where people like to "flame" one another. On one list, it was considered almost necessary that all new posters had to be flamed. Like a rite of passage or something. I am glad this site isn't like that.
I felt really welocmed. First knight welcomed me, although I didn't really know he was a bot, so I thought it was kind of him to explain all the rules to me
Then nighthawk, JB and Farseer. I like the fact that there is a whole thread for a member to say hello, in other forums you just start posting.

I did feel welcomed when I first got here, and, for the most part I have continued to feel welcome. There have been a couple instances where I have felt flat out offended because of people's responses to something I have written, but I bit my tongue and just stayed away from the thread. **shrugs** But anytime I have had a problem, it's been handled within thirty minutes of having it, which is wonderful.
I felt quite welcome. Without the initial encouragement from a few good members, I probably would have lost interest before I found the topics I originally came to discuss. It took me a few days to know my way around here.
Offtopic but, Ambria and everybody else, if anything I post is offensive to you, please tell me. I don't intend any message to be that way, and I would like to know if you see a problem. |
