If you are new to the forum, post here and introduce yourself to our community. You can just say hi, or let us know how you came to find out about us or what your favorite type of games are. If other members know more about you, they'll be more apt to help you out when you need it.
Also, if you are going away for awhile let us know so we don't miss you and wonder why you're not here. Or, if your interests turn to other areas and you feel like you won't visit us anymore (we hope not ) then at least let us know also.
