Here is the board where members can lounge around, make friends, and introduce themselves.
Please keep in mind that this IS NOT a chat-board. Please go to the general board for chatting.
So, your new to the forum and want to let people know your here. Great! Now lets go over a good way to do that.
Please keep in mind that filling out your profile will be a great help, but for people to find you you'll most likely need to make a few threads. Introducing yourself here will be a great way to put yourself out there.
Tips for introducing yourself:
Now that you've made a thread introducing yourself, go look at who else me be on the forum, find someone with similar interests and chat with them, participate in the community, or start making threads.
But you may think "What am I supposed to do?" or "Where am I going to start?"
In this case, make a thread asking about a chat. NOTE: Be sure to put it in the "Looking For" Sub-board

Tips for introducing yourself:
- Make a thread and title it like how you would greet some one. a simple "Hi, I'm [username]" For your title would be great. However, you can be as creative as you want. Just be sure to make it obvious the thread is you introducing yourself!!
- In your post, Make a basic summary of yourself. Ask yourself "What do I do as a hobby? As a job? What kind of things am I willing to tell?" And such
- State likes and dislikes
- Be truthful about you say. The last thing a person wants to associate with is a liar!
- Try to come across as kind and welcoming. Think "How would I greet my friends parents?"

Tips for asking about a chat
- State what you feel interested in doing
- State what board you are going to want to chat in
- Link to your introduction
- Title it something like "Interested in [subject]" or "Looking for [subject]" Again, you may be creative with your title. Just make sure to make what your looking for obvious!!
- Treat other members with the respect they deserve. This should go without saying, but treat others like you would like to be treated !
- Please do not spam. The definition of spam is an irrelevant or advertising post. Any post considered spam will be removed. If you want to advertise, I will have a special board set up for that.
- Using red text is forbidden. Only moderators and administrators may use this.
- Insulting and flaming or personal attacks against forum staff will be not tolerated.
- Please be considerate in language you use on the forum, some of our members are younger than others. Swearing is not completely banned, just do not swear unnecessarily, and only use minor words. A filter is in place to safeguard this system.
- No hacking, and illegal activity, such as torrents and illegal downloads, this will not be tolerated, and if appropriate, may be reported to local authority.
- Please do not post inappropriate material, I think everyone understands what I mean by this. The policy goes that if you would not feel comfortable viewing it at work, or in front of children or parents, don't post it !
