Did you introduce yourself in this public forum? Either in the New Members section or elsewhere?

I don't believe I did. I just kinda jumped into the craziness.

I jumped in and I was ignored. I heard crickets to my comments for a very long time. It's a tough crowd here.

I can't remember if I did introduce myself.

But I remember feeling like 'Billy no mates' for weeks in the forums

Then one day one of the popular people said hello on the threads and it seemed to change a little after that.

It was different way back when...
I remember joining right in the process of
JustsayHi going out and Mingle coming in.

I don't think I introduced myself, just jumped right in...It felt so wonderful to be in such a place that was so accepting.

I have watched several changes over the years and yet I still stay here because I honestly like it.

You're lucky Rains! You've been here a long time if you date back to the JustSayHi days. That makes you certified old-school shades

The cricket chirping does seem fairly commonplace. After awhile you kinda seem to get a following.

I was just curious as to others' opinions.

I do date back as an old timer I actually joined way back in 07 but deactivated pretty quickly I hated my username.. When I rejoined in 08 I chose this handle and it fits...

I have no clue about a following, I don't think I have one, if I do no one has let me know...

I did learn pretty quickly on another site internet forum posting can be brutal. I just came out and didn't care if people liked me or not. I posted what I honestly thought... Gee I guess I still post that way.

First time ... hummm, actually I have a very good thought about that "first time". I proudly remember Miss Pink being one of the first people on here giving me a nice sentiment about this place , making me feel comfortable, and more than that Pink was the First Lady to welcome me. And she did it in a very nice respectful way.
Thank you, Pink.flowerforyou

I was ignored when I joined and still ignored. I'm just doing my own thing and see if I can find the right man for me.

Never introduced myself and never made a thread.
Found the forums after a month or so, stayed in
'Rate My Profile' for a few months, just posting
there.

Finally got brave enough to enter the forums proper
and participate.

People who comment on Welcome threads are
always appreciated.

one place is the same as another as im comfortable wherever I perch and find it no different in Africa, China, Taiwan,
South America, England,Europe, and anywhere people congregate so introductions are superfluous....Dr Michael

I spent a while reading posts and finding out how it worked before i just jumped in. I still read more than i comment. Sometimes i get return comments,and sometimes i don't. It's all good fun and often very interesting.I still think i suffer with my previously naive choice of username,but we live and learn don't we...

I didn't go on the forums until 4 months after I joined. I didn't even look at them. I didn't introduce myself I jumped in and about the third posting scribble welcomed me and gave me advice. If I needed to know something I would ask him.
Some times you just need a friend to help

I gave someone a little sass when she first arrived, and she called me a meanie. What? I wrote her a poem. Anyway, no, I didn't introduce myself. I used to troll here a lot. I was messaged by a lovely lady and invited to the forums and here I am.

My first post was in the new members. I asked a genuine question and received many answers. It was my very first time on a forum. Minglers were very welcoming and accepting.
