Tips for New Users

i used to do it at snooty sims forums when i was more active there.

Yes, that's a nice idea. If we sent a PM to all the newest members they might be encouraged to post and find their place here rather than be intimidated by us and run off into the 21st century Wonderland (it's changed quite a bit, it's so sad now).

Yeahhh man when i join forums at first its kinda like going to a new school..it is sort of intimidating but this one seemed more welcoming.

Haha, I know... Yes, maybe if we "open our arms" to them they won't feel like outsiders.

Agreed. Of course, I joined this forum early in the game, so it wasn't that bad...but it can be extremely intimidating for those that are just now coming in...

Yes, I joined early too, March 15th, so there was very little posters at the time. However, I only posted a few times, then dissappeared for a week. By the time I came back, there were so many more people with dozens of posts, it was rather intimidating and very differnt from before, when it was much quiter. It's okay now, though, I'm all settled.

Can you imagine what would happen if you left for a week now and then came back? I don't think you'd ever get back in the swing of things...it's so crazy! But I love the craziness, so it's all just peachy.

I know! my internet wouldn't work at all the day before my birthday and by the time I came back I was already feeling a bit lost, even after just a day! : Everything moves so quickly on here, I have to be here everyday to keep up with it all. But I want to be here everyday, so it's all okily doke for me.

Bambi, leaving for a few hours and coming back takes half an hour to get back where things where when you left, lol.

[bambigoddess]

Jeez...so could you imagine leaving for a week? Wow...

[Bat]

No, it would take forever to get on top of things again, lol!
