I have seen many people come and go on this forum in the six years or so that I have been a member.
Something I have noticed over the last six months o r so, is the number of members welcoming novice members, and wishing them well.
A lot of the "welcomers" are relatively new members themselves, I think that this shows what a welcoming and friendly forum this is. Sure we get a few who go a bit too far sometimes, as do all forums, but if someone is annoying you, being rude to you, or you feel a post is getting "out of hand" - notify Cindy via private message, she will sort it out.
So this is my WELCOME to all new members, if you have just joined, or if I haven't welcomed you before - enjoy the forum - read all the sub-forums - Solos (eve if you are not a solo), Techs, Get Togethers, I Digress and the General Forum - as well as the other sub-forums - join in the guessing games - broaden your knowledge of this great country.
I regularly visit the new members segment to offer a warm and friendly welcome to new members, I know how much I appreciated the welcome I recieved when I Joined from the Chief of cheer and a number of other past members.
As Jules said we do have a friendly and supportive group of members who are only too happy to help and support new members, so again from us we welcome all new members and wish them many happy times on the Forum and out in the big playground.
