Happy to be here - Finally

Hello everybody at ATS!

A good friend of mine introduced me to ATS many moons ago, and I have been reading this site ever since.

To me, ATS is like a flashlight in the dark.
It shines a light under every rock.

It is always interesting for me, to see all the different perspectives that can be raised in just a single thread. That is the beauty of ATS.

Lately, I've been wondering what it feels like to create your own thread here on ATS. I want to feel that experience.

I'm not sure what I am going to post yet, but I will certainly stay far away from all the more serious forums, like science/technology for example. :-)

Well, I am going to need 20 posts first, so that may still be a while.

I also have to figure out how to load an avatar picture. I guess I will have to ask my friend that.

Anyway, I am happy to be here. (Finally).

Aaah, thank you for the lovely gift Destinyone.

Now I have to run to the kitchen to get the REAL thing!!

Sweet things will be my downfall still.

I have a plan on how to reach 20 posts really fast.
If I say welcome to the other new members, I will be able to up the post count real quick. Will that work?

thank you , JohnnyAnonymous

That is a lot of stuff to go through!
I see you also provided some info on uploading avatars, and custom avatars. I think I will start there first.
Thanks.

Hello Night Star

I like the little birdie. It looks like an owl.
But why the tears though? On your avatar.

reply to post by luciddream


thank you luciddream.
Your avatar looks pretty mean. Quite scary actually.
I was warned there would be mean people here. Hopefully, you aren't one of them.

You are judging the book by its cover!

Plus that is a video game character... having a pink puffy bear avatar would not be a manly game now would it!?

reply to post by luciddream


sorry luciddream

let me rephrase: "The warrior in the avatar looks strong and powerful ! "

I hope that's better. But this is how we get to know one another.
introductions are always awkward.

Lately, I've been wondering what it feels like to create your own thread here on ATS. I want to feel that experience.

Good luck with that chief

Welcome to our little community and enjoy

Oh oh, now you have me worried.

I sense a deeper meaning/warning behind your message.
Don't worry, I'll be careful. I promise.
