I made my way to this board when I heard about it on that evil place known as the O-board. One of the best things I did was take a few weeks and just lurk. I got to see how things worked around here, what was expected from the new people, things like that. When I finally said hello and started posting, I had a pretty good idea about what to do, and I've found it to be a pretty happy place since.
Everyone has made a lot of great points already (especially that last line from Head's post

), but I'd just like to add that this is a great, fun place to be. There are so many people here who have made so many close friends over the past year+ that EvBoard's been open. You'll make lots of new friends, too, so please, stick around, post, have fun! We're glad to have you!
