Hi, everyone!

I'm Zack. I've been around on this board for a little while... I've read a lot but haven't posted much. I joined because it has been hard for me to find fellow Evanescence fans and I really wanted a place to hang out with some fans of the most uber band ever :D . I try to avoid conflict when possible... I'm pretty easy going.

I'm a veteran World of Warcraft player... I guess that playing the game since release would be considered veteran.

I'm a guitarist, and I like writing my own music. I play by ear. Van Halen is teh l33t roxx0rs :p . A song that has a really rocking guitar riff usually catches me quickly, and ballads normally don't -- unless the singer can really pull it off.

Ah, well, now that I've rambled on enough and pulled everything out of my mind at the moment, I'll continue reading and posting (if I have something to say) on this really great forum.

Thanks to the Admins, Welcome Committee, and everyone else who keeps the place running.

Laters,
Zack

hey! it's great to have you here zack :D

Welcome to evboard Zack. Hope you enjoy it around here! Someone from the welcome commitee will be here to guide you soon. There names are in yellow. For now I will do my part and just inform you to read the FAQ's (http://www.evboard.com/faq.php), If you haven't already. :)

Hey Zack, welcome to Evboard! I saw the title to your intro and pretty much laughed my ass off! Anypoo, I'm really glad you joined, I hope to be seeing you around!

Your title is officially the coolest Intro title ever. :D Rock on, man \m/

Hahaha welcome to the board! I see you've checked out the usergroups; good job! ;) Read the FAQs, too, if you haven't already, in order to learn the ways of the board. If you've got any questions, feel free to PM me or another Welcome Committee member :)

Wonderful introduction! I'm Kirstin. :)

Hehe, thanks. I'm reading the FAQ right now :D Thanks for the help.

Rock on!
Zack

Boo http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Evanescence/Other%20Stuff/evil.gif, the n00b Roasting Hamster of Doom should be around shortly to continue your initiation, and to see where you fit on the menu. Please go and post at the User Survey (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=585&highlight=encompass) so we can get to know ya better!

We also have a wonderful welcoming committee full of helpful guides to help you on your way. Your guide is: Katya ( http://www.evboard.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=20430) If you have any questions or need help contact her. She shall be around shortly to PM and welcome you.

My goodness, we're late in getting to you. My apologies! Anyway, welcome to the Evboard! I'm Katya and I'll be your guide.

First, I'm going to answer some questions that I bet you haven't even thought of yet. One thing EVERYONE asks about is the Moderation Queue (http://www.evboard.com/faq.php?faq=evboard_qa#faq_mod_queue). You're put in there because you're new, but don't worry - with good posting, you'll be let out of there soon (except when you post in the Advice forum. The Advice forum is moderated for everyone except mods). The green dots under your name are Reputation Points (http://www.evboard.com/faq.php?faq=evboard_qa#faq_rep_dots); here is a small guide (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=24655) for using them.

Other random things you should know about: The color red can only be used by moderators and ToB (http://www.evboard.com/showgroups.php?) (Admin Extraordinaire). Choose a different color when you post. Be respectful to the mods; they're volunteers, and they're doing their job. If you have a concern or a question about a decision they made, PM them. Also be respectful to the band members, who do post here (that's practically a given, but we've had some people who neglect that, and that's no fun for anyone).

Also try and use as much English as you can, and not AIM-speak. It gets annoying for many of us, and it's hard for the people who don't speak it as a first language to read stuf speld rong lyk dis.

One of the most important tools of the board is the Search function, located in the upper right of each screen, in the toolbar that contains the User CP link. PLEASE use it before you post a new thread.

Read the FAQ (http://www.evboard.com/faq.php?faq=evboard_faq_#faq_gen_rules); it's really informative, I promise ;) If it's a bit much all at once, read a few sections at a time.

I'll be PMing you shortly; however, if you have any questions at all, feel free to PM me anytime. This board can be intimidating at first, and I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have. :)

Have fun, and good luck posting!
