mrgreen760 37785 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I'd be your friend but my rule is I'm only friends with people who have seen me naked ;=) It's kind of a risk/reward thing. Peace MG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterowls 249 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 Is there a quick way a newbee can make friends ? Another quick way to make friends, is to join a social group. I belong to two. lonely, and special needs cerbites. Generally, people in these groups have something in common already, so it's easier to make friends. I find that generally if you make a friendship request, most people will, by default accept it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I found it helpful to spend some time reading thru several pages of threads and posts, gets a better sense of who is who. Make a note of their handle and join date, # of posts, etc. Reading thru the past few months of threads (if they are very old threads, don't bump them up tho), gives you an idea of current topics of discussion. It helps the newbie avoid the classic fail of posting a thread they think is completely new to everyone, but it was beaten to death in mid July lol. When I log into any site, I always click on New Posts. This way I don't miss any updates to threads I am following, or new threads that might be of interest. When you see a topic you have an opinion on, even to just say you agree with a post, go on ahead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BarrhavenWoody 10776 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Hi Amy. Welcome. As another newbie, i think that reading as many of the threads as you reasonably can gives you some good insight into the community and the members. Post some opinions and comments and before you know it, it will be old hat. Have fun! :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzitup 5652 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 I think you should: 1) flesh out your profile 2) post your opinion on the threads, especially when you feel strongly about something 3) start a thread about something you care about or something that moves you. Just my opinion. Welcome aboard, and I hope you have an enjoyable time here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lowdark 5613 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome to CERB, Amy. One thing I learned was to appreciate everyone else's wisdom (particularly the ladies and long time members) and respect their opinions even if you disagree with them (unless they're Leafs Fans). I'm. sure you'll be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
