Ok so you made an interduction thread, where you said hello and what not, what now?
I have noticed that on this site that we have many members who have joined anywhere from a year ago to a day ago, yet many of you have still not posted or posted often. So I have some tips because I too was very timid with the whole forum thing when I first joined and it took me a better half of a year to start actively participating, which is a real shame because this is a great place with lots of great people.
- A great place to start posting, participating, and to just ease in is the Off-Topic forum. We have lots of things to talk about in there, everything from photography to games so, if you feel like you dont have a lot of input on car stuff just come play in the OT zone thats where the fun is. This is where I broke out and how I became a moderator, and because of this I have became a much more active participator on the site. Also we now have a whole new off topic sit called TheByte.com which is a great place to warm up.
- Opinions and input are always welcome. As long as you are friendly and non-offensive, peolpe want to hear what you have to say, no matter if you have 2 posts or 2,000 posts.
- Don't get discouraged, I remember when I was new and mosts posts I made went largley ignored, It's not that we don't hear you, there is just so much going on here that we dont always see every single post. But this has improved greatly, almost everything posted will get a response, so if you have a question or some info don't be shy.
- It is alright to be biased, pretty much everybody here is biased toward one brand or car, but dont attack, and insult others who have different opinions than you. Be smart and respectful in your posts and you'll make it far, here.
-If you have good info, sources and like to share, post away, we are a very welcoming place, just ask a certain member on our site who rose to the top in a few months to become one of the top posters, a super mod, and the karma leader.
-Just relax and have fun! This is THE best forum on the net, where else do you get loads of info on all major German car manufacturers as well lots of other car companies, great people, and are able to have fun at the same time?
If you need anything you are always welcome to PM a mod(a blue name) or any member really.
Existing members please feel free to add anything to the list that could help out.
