Dont let it get to ya' Goth.....just be yourself in here, its a requirement

Well, I'm on a mission to discover myself. I'll let you know what I find out when I get there. In the mean time, I'll do my best to not be anybody else. *g*

Well...we seem to have a knack for prompting self discovery here....heh

*tecoyah tries to decide if this is a good thing*

Hi there. I just joined on a recommendation from Lucifer. I have never attempted one of these sites before, so I am a true forum newbie. Go gently with me please - I have no idea what I am doing. But I'm always up for a challenge, so give me some time & I'll be posting with the best of you.

Don't worry, we tend to be gentle. Save the ones who bite. And the ones with whips. And the chains...

Well, we're mostly good, nice people anyway. Glad you found the best forum first, I'm looking forward to seeing more of you around.

Hey I'm alicat8469, new today March 13th, 2006.
From Fort McMurray Alberta Canada

welcome <i>alicat8469</i> Glad you could join us here! Look around and have fun :D

Hey, just going on a hunch here, alicat8469, but are you a newfie?

I'm Evo Shandor, noob here but not to discussion boards in general. I'm happily married and a father, but I come from the hippie generation that believed sex is cool and a fine thing to talk and think about, a belief I never really changed. I like to talk about politics (I'm way to the left), religion (I'm an atheist) movies (already got a post up in Entertainment) SF and adult anime. I'm not so interested in sharing sexual fantasies as talking about how sex shows up in media (like movies and anime) and what that might mean. I've written and sold a fair amount of bondage erotica, and right now I'm working on getting a gig writing romances.

I generally prefer online discussion to RL discussion on these topics -- there really aren't a lot of smart people in the RL world. At least online you can kinda find your level.

Welcome Evo Shandor1995. I have no doubt you fit right in here. :thumbsup:

Continuing on the Alberta theme, I'm from Calgary. What's up y'all?

greetings to all!

Hello everyone!

I had the opportunity to tag along to the Chicago meetup, met a lot of really great people, and had a fantastic time. That pretty much convinced me to go ahead and join up officially here and stop enjoying TFP vicariously through someone else. :D I look forward to meeting even more of you!

See you around...

Hi, everyone.

So Glad you could make it Media.....You will fit in here perfectly. I just need to send out a warning to everyone I know to Hide in a corner for a week or so....heh

Well, you certainly don't need to hide anything from me. I'm all about keepin' it reallll. l.o.l.

sweetpea

Welcome Eej. :) This is a close knit and great community. plunge in and start posting and I hope you find what you're looking for here.

sweetpea

F2F conversation with a friend who speaks highly of TFP led me here - I'm looking forward to learning/contributing.

el cowboy

Hello el cowboy,
You will both learn and teach here.
Read and post often.

A New Guy (does it show...)
 

Well this is actually the second post I made because promptly after joining I did the one thing I know is blatantly stupid (skip the FAQ and make a post.) Well, at least I was on topic. At any rate, hello all, and thank you kindly to the admins for creating such a great spot on the web.

I’ll be honest and say that I ran into the site doing research and will be hanging around mostly in the knowledge area, but if any one has any questions about CAD, CAM, lower division engineering major stuff (especially aeronautics and manufacturing), computer software/hardware, *basic* brain & cognitive science, physical education, and generally where to find odd stuff that isn’t on your first couple google search return pages, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Take it easy,
Dale

welcome groundbound

my fathere is an engineer, PE did some neat stuff in his career. My best friend is also one. glad i have someone else i can ask those inane question that my brain seems to think up when looking at objects.

Hello all!!! I am definitely new to this kind of web surfing but am working at becoming very acquainted. I am looking forward to all of this great discussion about the biggest problem everyone has...LIFE!

Thanks Cynthetiq,
And absolutely, those kinds of questions are not only the ones that result in the most learning, but also the ones that I imagine lead to obnoxiously over paid contracts… ( I hear)

hello! i am alpha66 other wise known as james! i was a member here quite some time ago and i have just decided to re-join to see what is happening with the community!

Hello everyone! I just joined the TFP last night. I have been reading through some threads today, trying to get myself acquainted. I think that this is probably the most intelligent forum I've found on the net.

I look forward to becoming part of the community!

Hello everyone!

~Never meddle in a dragons affairs....for you are crunchy and excellent with ketchup~

Welcome to D.C and Aleyn.....we hope you both have a great time

hi there....Lucifer sent me here
 

hi,
I'm not really sure what I should say but this looked like an interesting spot so I thought I would give it a try.....I'm an artist so I thought I would check out some of the art forums....the political stuff seems interesting....I'm here in Newfoundland where I met Lucifer who introduced me to this......looking forward to some interesting exchanges.. :thumbsup:

Oh that Lucifer... always tempting people.

Welcome to the TFP!

Welcome Hagatha! You will surely love it here at TFP. I can't wait to see some of your work.

Hi Everyone.

Ample coming to you from the beautiful Maryland Eastern Shore. Not new to the message board thing. I have been looking for a new place to post. I never thought that it would be so hard to find a place that is a good fit. Hopefully I can stop looking. I like the way that this board is set up.

I do have a question. I understand that there is no postwhoring here, not that I am one; however, when I clicked on some of the users that are active right now I did notice a low posting per day count. Is that common? Or are those people primary lurkers?

Hello all. New to TFP, but looking forward to meeting people. If anyone lives in/near the Orlando area, I moved here about 1 1/2 years ago, and am looking to find places where I can meet people/party/hang out. If you know of a good place for that, or would like to play tour guide, LMK. My boyfriend works nights, so I'm by myself a lot, but he's very supportive, and wants me to get out more. =)

Yes, but there is a large base of active posters, so it all balances out pretty well. It's just that some people like to lurk.


Welcome Apmle and everyone!

Hello tfp, I'm interested in movies and music, as do alot of people I suppose, but just wanted to say hello, and I'll see yah in the forums.

Greetings.

I ride a motorcycle, write poetry, work on computers for a living, and have too many children. My interests are all the above plus art and philosophy.

Welcome aboard

CaliLivChick - you go to UCF?

Hello, Greetings, Background, Lifeline/story, Who Am I?
 

I joined this site some 20 months ago; I think I posted at this "tilted newbies," but I can't remember. So, apologies if I already did. I don't get to this site very often, about once a year it seems--so far.-Ron

Going to check out the art sites next. :thumbsup:

I was here once before, but after a bit of soul searching I have decided to return again and try to participate this time. :)

'90silvia, RonPrice, uppitydame, and Ironfoot: Glad you're here. If you're coming back, I really hope you decide to stay for good this time. This really is a lot like an oasis in the middle of the intellectually and socially barren interweb, and I'm glad you found it.

Hi I'm Tama, I'm new here.
Leave a lot up to assumption, thats always a good start.
No, tell everyone all about yourslef.
Guess which is my Evil Side & which is my Good Side.

Welcome <i>Tama</i> I'm hoping the evil side comes out first :p

Hi. I am Jegatheesh, comp engg from India. Hope I will have a nice time here.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!

Jegatheesh, we have many boards for you to dive into, wheter it be the Asia regional forum, the Computing board or others!

Make yourself at home. Unless you are really messy at home. In that case, clean up after yourself...

:thumbsup:

hey guys....i'm Evil eyez

Hey, I'm Dolce.

Sorry... double-post.

New kid in town
 

Hi All:

I'm Eric, 38, living in New Jersey, USA with my wife and daughter. I discovered the TFP in April, and I'm glad to be here. I look forward to 'meeting' everyone.

Peace,

Eric

Yay Noob!
 

Hi I'm Rachel and I'm and undergraduate student at Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX). I've got 2 more semester to finish my bachelors in electrical engineering. This summer I'm working at a leading semiconductor manufacturer as at test engineer.

I was introduced to this site by a cool friend of mine (JStrider) so I'm excited to join the community!

I don't ordinarily participate in threads like this, but I've been around the site and haven't found the right place to make my virgin post. It seems that this forum will be a bit of a fun challenge; that's a good thing. I'm nearing my final year of undergraduate University, studying neuroscience. I have broad interests other than my studies--history, historical psychology, philosophy, religion, linguistics, India/southeast Asia and the Middle East, world politics--but am amateur in most of them. Despite my inherent love for the humanities, after I graduate I plan on going to medical school in pursuit of a career in neuropsychology or biology. I will probably regret it.

No one invited me. I stumbled onto the site myself.

welcome, tuft, nice to see you here...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Lady Sage
 

My ladyfriend decided after reading some posts and browsing the forum to join this A.M.

As a surprise I thought I could semi-introduce her while she is at work and when she gets home, she'll see how welcome and how many friends she shall have here.

She is a wonderful woman. She's a bank manager, pagan, 29, reads Pahlaniuk in 2-3 days (Hell any book for that matter, just happens Palhaniuk is her latest author of choice) and she is beyond doubt, the most giving, caring, understanding and sweetest woman I have ever met. (She's very outspoken and will definately speak her mind, though.)

So, please feel free to welcome and show her that she is among friends....... Lady Sage........

Let me be the first to welcome you, Lady Sage. I dearly love Pan, so to win his heart must make you a very special woman, indeed. Welcome to our world. :icare:

Welcome aboard, Lady Sage!! You've certainly caught yourself one of the finest fish to ever swim these waters.
And any pagan of Pan's is a pagan of mine! :lol: Enjoy the ride.
