Yet another newbie!

Wow, well, I very recently joined and I must say I've never seen a board like this! I've been interested in the rumblings of underground information being passed around on the net, and ever "out-there" link I've come across I've always latched onto. There really is just some amazing stuff. But I've always just seen a site here a site there, with no.. dynamic information. Always static and never changing. Untill I found this! There's just so much to read its overwhelming.

I had a bit of trouble navigating the site at first, and even reading the posts (mostly because I'm not used to being allowed such a large avatar) but I think I'm getting the hang of it now. So no major questions really. I do hope to get a blog someday but that can wait.

Allright onto introductions then! Well, I am a *ahem* young person. Sigh, I am, in fact, 15 years of age. Almost 16 (one month) heh, not that it really makes a difference. I must tell you though I do try to contribute something in every reply I make and to remain mature. So I promise my age won't be an issue.

I enjoy reading, both sci-fi and fantasy. I love sci-fi because of the ideas, and how every (good) book has something new in it, a new twist. And fantasy is always great because well... how does one describe something like how reading and enjoying a good book makes them feel? I also like The Outer Limits and X-files, but mostly if I'm watching TV its PBS. Nova, the various news programs, and Battlefield Britan are some of my favourites.

I go to high school, wich blows. I get awful grades not due to understanding the work... but because I just get disgusted with the... monotany of the work and don't do it. I really need to learn patiance, because I do appreciate knowledge and education.

As far as music goes I enjoy a huge variety. No rap however, just never really got down with the beat and I can't relate to the stories. Even though I grew up in the ghetto... Anyways, er, yeah, I also like Frank Zappa, Burning Spear, and tons of classic rock. I'm also into outsider stuff like Captain Beefheart and various internet music makers.

I enjoy playing Set and sitting around a coffe house talking to random people.

Thanks for the welcome! OK I do have one question, what do the points meen?
How do I get more points, what are they for, etc. etc.
And is there anyway to get into RATS without paying a monthy fee. (One time fee is OK, but I can't afford more then that.)

EDIT: One more question, is there anyway to easily tell when a topic I've posted in/started has been replied too? Like I know it automaticly subsribes to thread but there is no read/unread button type thing.
