    As a newbie having served only a few months, voted for welcoming.

    It's generally a very welcoming place. Everyone seems to get a chance to speak thier mind. And those that open thier mouths just to change feet are dealt with appropriately in my opinion. It seems noobs are given a chance to contribute.

    I took my obligatory slapping from Christopha for starting my first thread in the wrong forum but hey #### happens and we wouldn't want any special treatment now.

    Don't quite get the rep points thing but IMO not really needed. After reading for a while it becomes easier to see who's advice appears to have greatest value.

    That said, although I came here to learn stuff (as most newbies I'd imagine) it's the community that keeps us coming back and wanting to be a part of (oh and Doug's avatars of course).

    Cheers blokes,

    I've got a couple of posts and there was a time long long ago when I had the same number of posts as Zenwood, he is up over 2500 now I am pretty sure.

    I voted as a stalwart, but I have been here less than a year.

    Who cares they are all old and grumpy here except for wendy and Judy who are just lovely and nice.

    Ummm, isn't that an "Almart"? BTW, I don't think you can call it a "chain" when there's only one craporium (at this stage anyway, plenty of time for aggressive marketing and aggressive expansionism later, watch out cash convertors! )

    I started out trying to do the "good-neighbour welcome" thing, but I was sadly disillusioned by a few "new" members (who by the way dont happen to be here anymore)

    Now I just sit back and watch the wankers and hollier-than-thou's make them selves known and suffer the wrath of the collective group.

    To all those who have pased the initiation, and are still here.. WELCOME
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it
