Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Yeah I don't even know if the intro-extrovert binary is real! We fluctuate depending on need I guess.

I started journaling just back in 2017-18 when I am at my absolute worst, while poetry started a while after. I have the same hope to be able to take comission for journaling and / or like maybe graphic design.

I do enjoy photography as well, I share them on my social media but yeah, just for fun.

Jynx, my life is very casual, not a lot to tell anyone, just keeping busy living a normal life and maintaining a fitness regime throughout the week.

@tyme

Can you explain a bit more about the Virtual Cruise and Sunday Chat? This is my first time here 🥰

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey @ale_inmelb , the virtual cruise is when we share out creativity and share (in text) what is happening on our virtual make-believe cruise. Make it what you want to be 🙂

The Sunday chat is when a members gather and talk about anything in real time on the forums. It can go in any direction 🙂

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

So what has been the general consensus today, what cruise are we on and where are we heading towards. Generally I like to cycle here in Brisbane preferably in the morning before it warms up. Do many of you ride anything else apart from bikes?

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey @MtLittleJoe ,

Cruise sounds great! Go join our Virtual cruise and take your bike with you!

Sitting in the sun overlooking the water sounds great 🙂
