First Impression from a New Member
-
Hello everybody,
I just would like to commend the simple page layout of our site. This way it will not be so much of an issue if I will be surfing the page in a public net cafe. This is because there are no pictures of naked men scattered around the site and that is quite fantastic. The ads, albeit necessary, are very minimal which help the page to load faster. I am not disabling any of my Firefox add-on just to be able to help. The point is I love the minimalist interface of our site.
Moderators, thank you for letting me in this wonderful group.
Thank you and more power!

Welcome to the site. I thought I'd point out some common possibly useful information. If you want to browse the site without ads, you have the option of making a donation. Donations start at 5 Euros and with only one donation you can surf the site ad free. Making a donation is not a requirement for membership on the site, but they do help keep the site going.
I also suggest you read through the forums for more information on the site and how it works (particularly the section for new users) as I'm sure that you will find a lot of the information in the forum and FAQ quite helpful to you. Enjoy your stay and welcome to the community

Nice information and tips from all. I too just re-joined after letting my membership lapse (whoops - apologies to the guy who recommended me).
Any thoughts on having a "new member" forum where newbies can say hi and a little bit about each other, ask 101 questions, that sort of thing? Or about as exciting as watching paint dry. Bad coloured paint at that! ;D I'd be happy to contribute by moderating it if that helps.

I like the way you think. Being as I'm not sure who you are and I'm relatively new to the site myself, I don't know if you could be considered as an op. What I will say though is if you're thinking of creating like a "newbie guide" to reference all the key things that newbies would need for resources to help them, I'd be happy to have it posted, giving you the credit for its existence.

Hi again MrMazda.
A newbie list might be handy, but perhaps that's covered already in the FAQ? I was thinking more along the lines of newbies wanting to announce "hey I'm here, this is a little about me, I'm looking forward to this, or I'm a little confused about that" - giving them an outlet to contribute once they join. Also to allow them to get help without any negativity (e.g. "heya mate, yeah it can be really confusing at first to work out uploads. Some guides have been written, and the links are below" versus "if you actually read the forum, you'd know it is here. And here. And here. Pffft!").
Feel free to PM me if you like - and yeah I can understand that I'm new and "unknown" here. There might be some users on here who know me from other boards who can vouch for how evil I am. ;D
