Attention New Members!
First off, welcome to the forums! Please be sure to read the Forum Rules before you venture off onto the other boards.
Now you've probably noticed by now the several locked threads in the Newbie Board. While this is a place for new members to introduce themselves, most of the threads that are created descend into general chaos within a day. Rather than having an awkward "Hey, I'm new here" to start you off, I thought it would be worth our time to create something of a short biography for new members to fill out. This will help us get to know something about you right off the bat.
And in retrospect, if you aren't comfortable filling out certain lines, feel free to skip them. On the same token, if you feel there's something that you'd like to add that isn't listed, do so!
Also note, this isn't mandatory! Just a friendly suggestion! Add/omit whatever you like!

The idea behind this is to give us something to talk to you about that you are interested in, rather than our usual tongue-in-cheek jokes that you probably won't have a clue how to respond to.
And remember, the Newbie Board is a place to greet new members before they venture into the main boards! If spamming begins to outnumber greetings, the threads are apt to be locked!
Look forward to see you in the forums!

*Light chuckle* Finally...I've been here for years and yet this is the first time I ever saw something even REMOTELY close to order here. While this means spam will be cut nearly or completely out of here it also means new members again. Well done FastChapter, well done. *Clasps his shoulder warmly*

Sithil and Kinuki brought up a good point, and I added a note saying you don't have to fill out anything you feel uncomfortable letting us know. Obviously we don't want your address, but it'd be nice to get a State/Country,
(Also, no, I'm not a mod, Just thought this might help restore some kind of order. It'll probably be past Thanksgiving by the time Tom reads that PM I sent him, XD)
I would advise against making new threads to introduce existing members. I would love to make one as well, but it would probably lead to forty-some new threads being created from our veterans.
