Thread: How do I get started?

  1. #1

    Default How do I get started?

    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.

    There's an initiation coming up.

    You'll need a bag of weasels.

    Just go with the flow.

    It seems you're well on your way.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    post random trout 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--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.
