Hi all, I'm new here and just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know you all in the coming days, weeks, and months!

NEW FOLKS…
We are a dynamic community and some of the regulars have been around since the inception of rockclimbing.com. There are lots of covered topics so if you try to jump right in and start new threads, it will make everyone sad. Try responding to someone else's thread first, rather than starting your own.

Please do not, make a "hello" post or thread.

On a slow day 10 people may join the forums, on a busy day it may be 100. It's not a special occasion when somebody joins. So when you start a "hi everybody I'm new here!" thread it's like you think you're the Queen of Sheba or something. You’re inviting the lurkers to come out and toss you up a bit. {see above remark} So unless you are familiar with forum boards and can stand a bit of flaming right off, it would be better to just respond to a thread rather than start your own. Don't take it too seriously when someone calls you a "n00b", and accept that other users ask you to make a forum search before asking some over debated topics.

Uh, welcome, I guess. Tell us an interesting story about yourself.

Are you gay? Or are you one of those "mad" mothers who thinks that video games make people kill people?

Are you drunk again? Damn, bro, if you keep this up you may give ceebo a run for his current title of "WTF?" not sober posts.

Alright lets go ahead and clear the air here so you stop following me around the forum calling me a douchebag.
