Newb. Any advice?

I post on a couple other forums and decided to join here. Is there anything I need to know to survive?

I can give you a few tips...

1. Try not to be so skeptical all the time, this, pertaining to discussions and what not.
2. Spell out words correctly and fully, use proper grammar.
3. Don't double post. (Submitting a post right after another one in the same thread)
4. Try not to spam (posting very short or erroneous crap that has nothing to do with the topic at hand - but differentiate that from the occasional "swaying off topic")

Or just read and review the Terms of Service and you'll be okay.

But otherwise, you'll find that Thrillnetwork is a great place to be and discuss your hobby. Everyone here is usually very friendly and welcoming, and tend to be not as judgemental or biast like other online coaster enthusiast communities.

And staff members like Moderators and Editors or Administrators are all more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Sure, there seem to be a great number of rules for a fun site...but it's worth it.

Rules? Nah, not rules. Just a reminder of basic nettiquette and common courtesy.

Welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board!
Wehave had to make netiquette part of the rules on here because people seem to forget them, and not everyone is familiar with Internet shorthand (or when people post as if they were doing text messaging on their cell phones), or when people just seem to not pay attention to proper spelling and grammar. We don't mind an error here or there, but when it's full of errors to the point where it becomes extremely hard to read, then it needs to be resolved.

If your other posts continue to be like your first one, tubaman, you'll be fine in this department.

Remember to use the Seach button before starting new threads that possibly might already exist.

Other than that, welcome to the boards!

Also, try to have a good time taking part in our discussions here, try not to take everything too serioulsly or personal; some members do like to joke around a lot, and some members do tend to take things the wrong way.

And try to be as active as you can here. You can make a lot of new friends on here if you can actively take part in the discussions. But be aware, try not to go too overboard in posting as we do care a lot more about the quality than the quantity of posts.

With that, we welcome you aboard Thrillnetwork and invite you to introduce yourself and tell us a few things about yourself sometime so we can get to know more about you.

Have lots of fun posting about coasters, rides and parks but always remember that there are other sections with different topics. We have threads about movies, sports, video games, politics and personal stuff as well. So there's always something new to talk about. It's actually somewhat rare now that I talk about coasters. Afterall, being on this site for almost five years, how much can I still talk about coasters except for the new ones. So welcome to the site and have a good time.

Doesn't look like that is what is going to happen. But I understand spamming is not acceptable.

Welcome to thrillnetwork, tubaman. Assuming you like Tubas based on your username, I agree with you.
