aldjocogirl 0 Posted May 1, 2012 I wrote an introduction and about me post a few days ago and haven't received one response to say welcome, good luck, nothing. I read the posts on this site so I know there is support and encouragement here but I was surprised at the silence. I wish everyone the best but this site apparently is not for me. Please make the new people feel welcome. We are all in or were once in the same boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TakeDeLongWayHome 7 Posted May 6, 2012 Yes, I agree, don't feel discouraged. I'm new here as well and although I haven't written an introduction I do see there's a lot of support and help here. I'm sorry you didn't get any response to your introduction, I actually just started replying after being a " lurker" for a few weeks. Please stick around and join in, I'm sure you can contribute as well as benefit from all of the knowledge and support here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StrangelyNormal 182 Posted May 6, 2012 Same thing with me, but hey, I just thought it was the pink hair. I probably should have used the pic of me with the purple hair as my main one 1 TakeDeLongWayHome reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
