I'm here now. Use this to tell everyone you are here!

G'day Sheila!  Welcome from the Land Downunder.  Whatever you do, don't ignore the advice you get from anyone telling you to ignore all advice.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Hello there, Shelia!

[Sheila]

Welcome, Sheila.  If anyone tells you to ignore everything anyone tells you, ignore it.  Ignore this advice, too. 

I'll gladly ignore that if you'll ignore my ignoring you.

That's so crazy, it just might work...

Hello everyone.

In the infinity of the internet I am known as Sunjumper.
A wise individual whose opinion I hold in the highest regards told me of this place and so I came here and to be frank I am overwhelmed by the complexity of this forum.

But then I like overwhelming complexity it is a metal challange.
I love mental challenges.

Nah, it's pretty simple here.

Don't pet the squidlings, don't eat the Fish Head Stew, don't take the Pirates IOU's.

Other than that, have fun....

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Welcome Sunjumper, as Pachy says, there isn't much complication here.

And if you have questions just shoot.

[pieces o nine]

...just keep on eye on what you're shooting at and all, eh what...


Welcome, Sunjumper.

Catching up on welcomes for all our recent new arrivals!  Welcome aboard!

I'm not sure if it's a case of complexity so much as of sprawl, here.  The big areas to get familiar with first (after checking out some of the helpful orientations in Start Here, Please) are Serious Discussion and/or Fun and Games, since these are where most of the action is. 

The Last Post game is a must, but just jump in and don't worry about trying to read old posts!  As long as you conclude with Last Post, you win.  Until someone else takes it.

Have a look about the Pirate's Cove if you are so inclined - many of the pirates appear to be out plundering at the moment, but there's some good stuff in there.

Other than that, we've pretty much just expanded as needed to keep things sorted into topic groups.  If you can't find an existing thread on any given topic, feel free to start one!

Gotcha!

Welcome Sunjumper!
It's nice to see you here!

[Opsa]

Welcome aboard, Sunjumper.

Another fun place to look is the "Recent Posts" link in the left-hand sidebar. That's where the freshest posts can be found.

Hope to see you in there!
