Welcome to Subeta! The community here is pretty accepting, if you are interested in the shoutbox, don't be shy to introduce yourself! A lot of users know each other from just seeing each other's presence on the site, but that doesn't necessarily mean they object to meet new people :)

Unforunately is correct. Each board has rules stickied to the top of the board to help keep them tidy. One of the rules for Welcomes is that it's not the place to make "friend seeking boards". There's a Friend-seeking thread in Chit-Chat for that purpose (see below), as it's not only new users who are looking for friends!

If you would like to change the subject of this thread to just a plain introduction thread I would be happy to unlock it for you - but in the meantime I am going ahead and closing this. (Don't worry, there's no penalty for this!)

Feel free to ask if you have any questions c:

[edit] That was quick - unlocked for you :)

No worries, hope that doesn't alter your perspective of the community :) We try to keep forums tidy so that once you are familiar with how the boards are, it should be easier for users to find specific threads they are looking for c:

Hope you meet lots of new people to enjoy the site together :D
