This place can be so silly...
Conversely, you have all those newbies who hit 70 posts, realize they can no longer start threads in the New Members forum, and have a freak out panic attack when they realize they must dip their toe in the big wide world part of ECF.
Yeah but the OP has "valuable input" - he said so. I feel a void opening that I didn't even know existed until Johnny One Post showed up.
Lol Rickajho. Yea. There can be complete noobs out there this is a fact. Thank goodness I aint too nooob.

It perplexes me that new members want out of this section so fast, since it gets so much traffic.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

It's only 51°F here today.... I had to put on socks....
What do you think of this place? I guess you lurked for a while first...huh?
Pro tip: site Search sucks...google works better.
Have fun

To be honest, there's so much information in this forum alone that I haven't felt the need to venture out yet. I read other forums here pretty much only when google brings me to them.
I was a little terrified when I couldn't start a post in the new members forum. The people who have been on ECF a long time are so great about posting help here. I wonder which section of ECF gets the most traffic. New members forum has to be at or near the top.
If you leave after one post, the world will label you as a spambot. Make four more and we'll believe you are a real person.
And then there are those who will walk out of a store because there's a short line at the cash register ... You can't always be first.

I agree, I spent literally MONTHS in the new member area before I ventured out to explore.
Not I.
But then again, I just tend to jump into "the deep end", in most everything I'm interested in.
The New Members sub-forum here is excellent, though. As for requiring 5 posts to establish yourself here, that's quite a minimal requirement in my experience, and maybe it's just me, but sometimes I'll make more than that in a half hour.. with no conscious "effort".
The OP's a whiner who wants attention as he quits without even trying, imo. I've seen em before, (on other forums), and I've no doubt that I'll see em again. They're good for an occasional laugh.
In the General E-Smoking section, it's pretty much the same as the New Members. The only difference is that there are very few introduction posts for the sake of posting. I have seen very little difference other than that. Both are just as friendly and helpful.
I jumped in with both feet as well, but I hated being a n00b so I kind of lurked while I gathered intel. I hated asking questions at first because I didn't want to sound like a total tool. But I guess that's how you learn, by being a tool at first.
Yup, that's how you learn. Do a couple searches for basic info on a subject you're interested in, then ask a question that's valid in your inexperienced mind in the quest to be edjamacated. On an excellent forum like this, many experienced people will "take pity on the noob", and give you a patient explanation. To some jaded afficionados, you might come off as a "tool", but who the hell cares? That's how it goes, with anything you're new to.*shrug*
OH damn, always interested in valuable information and tips!! My loss your gain!! Or did I get that backwards. Either way, welcome to the forum!! Goodbye and thanks for the Fish!!
