Take a look at this
awsome posting guide to all members (especially newcomers),
And, mind the forum rules, and happy posting!!
Welcome to our board

I guess your first impression wasn't the best??

That's ok.
But, if you're serious about continuing to be a member of our board in good standing, please take a moment to read all the forum rules and guidelines, including
this one.
Hope you can follow the forum rules, and learn to be a good poster of our board!!
(Yes, that includes listening to Mods and follow their instructions if given any.

Hi
BlueIzumi,
Welcome to our board!! Nice to have you with us!!
I'm guessing you probably read this already, but if not, please take a moment to check out our
forum rules and posting guide.

It's full of usefull information on posting on our board.
And, from my experience here, one of the best way to make friends here is to keep posting.
Then, soon or later, you'll meet other members who might have similar interests or ideas with you, or other posters who finds your ideas and thoughts interesting, etc., etc.
Take time to explore our board, read other members' posts, and if you see some posts that you agree with (preferably recent posts, and NOT the ones posted weeks ago,) then add your post on that thread, and say you agree with so and so, plus a bit of your own thoughts on the topic, and see if you can join the conversation with others on that thread that way.
Also, you can check out the
Forum Family thread, and see anyone would like to adopt you as a part of his/her family.
You may not always get the responses right away, but soon or later you WILL meet people here.

Hope you will find lots of friends on our board!!
