Hello, everyone....
I used this board for a year or so (lurking mostly, which you can put down to shyness.*) with a different name, but, since my earlier username was never very pleasing, and I hope to be a little bit more vocal in the future, I've come back and hopefully will manage to interact with people. Other than that my experience was really positive, and I'm looking forward to being in among the boards again.
(Sorry for the biography!)
all best,
Parapluie
*My shyness has even managed to affect my online activity!

Well let me first say... We have only been a forum since Apr this past year... You must be speaking of that {{{shudder}}} other site... Similar name... Worlds apart... We actually care about our members and our vendors are reputable...
Take some time and get familar with the few rules (which are enforced) and you'll see we are very different...
On that note, I wish you a warm welcome ....
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask... We are quite friendly, not like that biased place..
