I want to tell you a short story. A story about a young man who was nearly banished from this very forum not that long ago... That young man was me, and I was nearly banished from this forum.
Wow that was a short story!
In all seriousness sometime ago, I read the TMF . I was REALLY excited and motivated after reading the book. Like many of you, it motivated me to join the forum. Back when I first joined, I would spam links to my old blog and other stupid things that either got deleted or ended up in the landfill. This could be you. Or you may even be committing forum crimes without realizing it. Like copying and pasting content from the inside to the outside (or pasting it at another forum). Bad move. DEFINITELY DON'T DO THAT.
During my first few weeks here, I made many dumb mistakes. I read the rules, but I was too eager to get to the good content to really absorb them. Don't be like me. Read the rules and all of the introductory information.
What you will find is that the learning curve to becoming a noble forum member is very fast, faster than the Fastlane. The more you post quality information that is helpful, the more respect you get. And you will find that the more respect that you get, the more respect that you get. Revolutionary right???
Sometimes you will post something that you think will be a hit, and it totally sucks. Just like the "Market Mind" in Unscripted , there is a "Forum Mind" here.
As long as you don't do anything too stupid, moderators or other forum members with set you on the correct path.
You may encounter some tough love, but please don't get discouraged. Everyone wants you here.
You will find that there is a big sense of community. We protect each other, kid with each other, and help each other grow to become better. For some of us, there isn't too many other people to turn to outside of this forum that will listen and give proper feedback.
The day after I almost got banished from here is the day that I realized that there was something bigger than me. From that day forward I vowed to be a noble forum member.
I vowed to;
The forum is your food, but unlike food, you have a choice on how you digest it.
Welcome and I can't wait to meet you all.

I vowed to;
- Give more value than I received (I will consider that mission accomplished when I create a GOLD thread.)
- Read more than I write
- Critique myself more than others
- And search the forum for an answer before I ask a question.
