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:

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

Little bit sad and lonely. But ok, step daughter is graduating primary school so focusing all my energy on that for today 🙂

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

Thankyou @rav3n . I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get my head around it. I've had a read through but honestly my brain is pretty fried at the moment with everything that's going on.

@Former-Member

Press on the button at the top of your screen that says discussions. Then scroll across right to left until you get to the colourful Welcome. Read that thread. I made it to help newcomers work out the forums. It’s a series of posts giving instructions on how to use the forums.

Welcome

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

Thanks @rav3n. I'm trying to somehow get through what's going on but feel like I'm losing the battle. I've reached out to so many places but noone seems to be able or willing to help with what I'm going through. Things have hit a critical point for me at the moment and I guess this is a last ditch attempt at maybe somehow getting through this. But I'm really not sure if it's even possible.
