Re: new member
Never had that problem when I joined!
My advice?
Read what interests you. Think about it. Ask <span style="font-style: italic">sensible</span> questions based on what you have read. Wear a thick skin. Shrinking violets don't last long here.
Be respectful. This is Lowlight's house. He is loved and adored here, play nice and you will be accepted.
Be positive in your outlook (you <span style="font-style: italic">may</span> just be off to a bad start there), but, once again, BE RESPECTFUL. You don't know who you are talking to, so tread warily if you have something contentious to say.
Otherwise, DIVE IN AND ENJOY!! you get out what you put in.

Oh, part of your problem may well be that you haven't filled in your profile. People aren't going to talk to you if they don't know who you are!
