Most people around here try to help, which is why Subsim is such a nice place to stick around
Some people think of me as sort of being in the 'old crew', but truth to tell - I still think I'm in my "young" days of Subsim here. I came up with the previous big crop of newbies before you (as with SHIV in the last few weeks, SHIII drew in a deluge of new members when it was released), and hey, some things never changed - someone lurks around for a bit, then sort of starts sneaking some posts in, and before long they're a regular around here.
Lotsa room to get involved here. That's what keeps it good for newbies and old guys alike.
Welcome and such!
