Evening Drew. By the way, we have some rules here. To wit:
http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=1
In said rules we require that new members hit ye olde welcome thread.
We want to know u better before we share with you our hard learned vendors.
It is suggested in said rules that one make about five posts a day. Once u make fifty, u will have access to vendors we protect especially well.
Listen, u can respond to people in welcome threads right now.
You can play word games. Put up music. Talk politics. Talk health and what brought u here.
But, yeah, it has been a mind boggling year. An unbelievable number of vendors went down because of BLABBERMOUTHS.
Or, they lost their payment method. aye carumba.
So, we watch what we say in public. You can make friends that will last a lifetime here. You can also jump into a pain discussion, a vendor discussion, or into our Cafe Linville to make a post or two.
Remember to keep it to bout five posts a day. We do start to delete excess posts after that number.
We have info. But, we are older. Wiser. And most of us are actually damned sick.
So, we protect our sources. Our forum. Our members.
But, we want to get to know u before we share with u. So, we watch how u post for a bit.
muahhhh.
It is the safest way to run a forum in these troubled times.
