Blue J Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Is there still a pinned thread somewhere here on the forum for new members to introduce themselves? Seems like I posted in that one when I first came around, so I'd have to go look at that. But it seems to me that LyndseyG was very nice to me, as well as CygnusGal, and one other person, who I haven't seen post in forever, called 1 of the 7. Â I don't think I've ever really posted often enough to establish a personality here, especially early on. I've encountered some good people here along the way (I won't name you specifically, but you know who you are- yeah, you)...and I've made a life-long best friend here as well, which just blows me away. Â I wasn't here in the early days of the forum, so I can't speak for the good old days, or whatever. But I'm very, very grateful for what being here has done for me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If memory serves, The first person to greet me was Alsgalpal. :D We actually ended up meeting a few years after that. I never had a problem fitting in. But SOCN was always an interesting experience. Used to get in to some heated discussions over there. Ended up actually getting along with a few folks.  You should try it again. It's HILARIOUS over there. :bang bang: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 A few people have me on "ignore" so I must be doing something right. I think the trick to surviving on a message board is not to seek welcome but to avoid being made to feel unwelcome. Not something I'm great at mind but it's the price you pay for being yourself sometimes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cynical too about many things so I guess I have to "get it" that folks think you or anyone else is just putting on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I'm great at mind but it's the price you pay for being yourself sometimes.I don't put many people on ignore, there are only 2. I know people have Reb on ignore too, but he can be entertaining in the absurdity sometimes, and I really like reading what you have to say Tony. I think I agree with you more than most in SOCN, and you are one of the people I would love to buy a beer sometime.

And that's not a bad thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
