I think an intro section would be a great idea :) Not only to introduce yourself as a newbie, but it would be nice if all members gave an intro as even tho some have been here years, they are newbies to the newbies!

Okay...... so that might take some of the fun out of it for the
long time members ;)

But still nice for us to know a bit about you too before we all spill our guts :D

I was excited to be a newbie and no-one said a bloody thing. Expected me to know about karma and the like and act like I'd been here forever! I suppose I just have an unremarkable face.

I know I get jealous of all that karma the newbies get (now I know what it is!)

- I didn't know how to add a pic but didn't dare ask as found an old thread slagging folks off for not knowing. How long before you are no longer a newbie though- some folks have 4000 posts :scared:
But notice they have a lot of one word stuff must randomly post to build up my count even though have not alot to say instead of just reading and watching. :D
