This is the first time I have ever been a member of a forum and I'm intimidated by all the people who have been here for a long time.How can I get acquainted?

But from I can tell everyone here is friendly.:D

I'm pretty sure we chatted for a few in #eoff a night or so ago. You're good people :c).

Ya I just don't know how to talk with people in the chat. all I end up saying is Hi or hello.

Just go with it, keep posting, and you'll be a regular in no time! Also hello.

post random shit that's vaguely on topic

the chat has varying periods of activity. you either have to get lucky and get in there when people are talking, or just lurk in there all day

Just talk about how you think Iceglow is a standup guy.

You'll fit in in no time. :)

Perfect advice. Just insult iceglow, thats a fun way to make friends and get comfortable. Not to mention its easy rep ^_*
In all seriousness, just post/chat. It'll get more comfortable as time goes on

In all seriousness--head into chat! There's a tab up top.
Post more! People will get to know you! Especially General Chat.
Get an avatar and a sig. People will be able to recognize you better, plus it says you have more intention of sticking around.
Rep people when you like their posts, and comment in your rep. (At the bottom of each post, on the left hand side is a little star. Just click that).

How about we try to not insult anyone and stick to not giving new forum members advice on who to insult in their welcome thread because that makes for a poor impression on EoFF? :)

Andio, I've seen you in the chatroom a few times - it's great that you're already being social! My advice would be to visit as many of our sub-forums as you can. You're welcome to make some blog entries to let people know a little more about the personal side of you, or whatever it is that you feel writing about that may not warrant it's own thread.

We hope to see more of you!

Pfft. That's far too sensible advice.

Things to do for new members;

Insult Iceglow, feel free to call him any name that comes to mind.

Talk to Psychotic about the noble walrus.

Let Pantz know you love whales.

Tell Locky that Newcastle is a terrible place.

Pay your respects to Cid.

Give Looney BoB a pie chart of which forums you spend the most time on here on EoFF.

You're right, Shorty, and you always are right about everything. I bow to you and your powers as a Cid's Knight and know that I am a tiny cockroach in your shadow and I beg of you to not inflict your perilous wrath upon my weak soul.
