So I'm "new"

[bunnies]

hi there,

i'm "new" to this forum but i used to lurk/semi-post on the old one back in 06/07. 

my understanding of this place is that i need to get up to 20 posts to PM and 50 posts to participate in other threads.  for someone that is shy, finding 20, let alone 50 things to post about seems daunting!

anyway, i just want to thank everyone, for the knowledge and help folks contribute here. 

*waves* my name is bunnies, and i'm here to make friends.

Welcome to the forum. =)

I wouldn't worry about not posting much. I understand that you get access to certain areas after a given number of posts, but don't worry about it too much. Look at my join date and post count, I'm not a massive talker. The 'off topic' forums might be a good place for you to get started, if you wanted to get to know people here. But to be honest, information on the International List and reading the E-mail section is available from the start (I think), and that's where you'll find the best information. Just be careful of a few things, like not mentioning where your packages come from or what the package looks like when it arrives, not anything at all. That's an important one. With that in mind, I'm sure you'll settle in.

Anyway, more importantly, bunnies! Do you like bunnies? I've got a cool little house bunny, she's a silver fox breed, stunning rabbit. with black and white markings. I got her as a rescue rabbit earlier this year. She's got a right attitude on her though. She tends to grunt a lot and lunge at me, but she's very funny. She tends to do binkies at the same time, it's almost like having a little terrier in the house.

*deep breath* Sorry, rabbits are just the best pet.

hey Smoka90, thanks for the valuable information, and the reassurance.  i often read the forums and think "there's no way anything i have to say on here would be of value to the conversation so i'll just sit here and listen" i'm sure you know can relate. 

bunnies are wonderful. yours sounds like a beauty.  often rescue animals have the most multifaceted personalities. 

i appreciate the warm welcome /default_smile.png

Hi Bunnies,

I remember feeling the same way when I joined. Someone said they would help me if I made the 20 posts to pm. I was desperately searching around and trying to think of something to say. As you can see, once I got going, I couldn't stop! It's really not a big deal at all how long it takes you to make any certain number of posts. Just go at your own pace. You can always ask for someone to PM you, but be careful not to ask for vendor email addys because a lot of people get scammed that way.

Hi,

I still am amazed that people who joined after me have quadrupled me in quotes. I am an avid reader in general. But there are a lot of areas to post about general life stuff. And there are 5 letter word games, what's your plan today thread and others.

All the members are great. Good luck finding what you need.

Hi and welcome..I think and correct me if im wrong but replying to someone's post counts as a post too?I think you can just even say stuff like lol and short comments to qualify as a post here if im remembering correctly. Theres the shoutbox too. I didn't even realize I had met the requirements bcuz it happened so fast. Its very easy to do with so many awesome people.

I just joined in Nov too. I can totally relate. I used to think I couldn't possibly post useful information so I just read and read. I tried to get to know other members by looking at their feedback. I've since figured out what people find helpful. Like reporting turnaround times and quality of product. I've also been getting more active in the "off topic" threads. Great way to get to know others. People here are kick ass, for real!!! I'm happy to be a part of it all. Oops, I think I might have babbeled a bit there. Sorry for the chattiness. Lol!

I think if you start a thread and keep responding it doesn't add but if you respond to someone else's post then +1

 

[headbanger]

Yep I'm right! I had 1771 before I responded to this thread. now it's 1773.
