Um... the official welcome thread died. It became too mighty and collapsed in on itself from its own gravity. Now we have a new thread!

So, if you're new to the forums, introduce yourself here in this thread!

Hello everyone ^^ heard about this place from the Youmacon forums and thought I'd check it out. drop me a line anytime I'd love to talk with you guys and get to know some of you better ^_^

Welcome to the team! Glad you're here!

Whoo, all right. Been pretty busy this quarter so I haven't really been attending the anime club meetings, but here I am nevertheless. I'm hoping to be able to help at the con in some way! xD;;

Omg, I've been gone so long! Should I re-introduce myself?
Aw hell, why not! I'm Cloud, I have a sword. I don't actually cosplay Cloud, but no one seems to care. :choco: CHOCOBO!!!
I'm a member or RBG and I look forward to Anime Punch and meeting all of you. Especially Craig and Mike, cus they're hott stud-muffins. :D

You know it!

Hi! Glad to have you with us!

Darn, no more cheatsheet to tell who was who around here, but can't have a real forum until a thread just grows too large. Oh, and being the welcome thread, hello and welcome to everyone!

Hi ~waves~, I'm new here! My name is Peter Strauss and I'm a poet. My hobbies include being a vegetarian, re-arranging my sucks in a drawer, poetry and strangling of little animals.
I enjoy long walks on the beach in anime but not in real life.
It's my first time being a moderator on a message board so please be gentle to me.

Thank you.

My life's moto is "if you can't beat it then a camel is a horse designed by a committee is not for you. Try skydiving instead".

It's not age that matters, it's maturity! How old are you all anyhow?

Also, welcome to the forums!

Very funny. They know that already. Does Kitsune want another pic of Inu-Kakashi-Chan? :D Yes she does. Expect another after break :ninja: Mwahahaha

I'm a little confused, but welcome on board! Hope you guys stick around a while!

*pokes*

'Ello, I'm Plastic Knife Ninja, also known as Daniel. I've been lurking around for a while and finally decided to make an account. As far as hobbies, aside from the obvious anime, manga, and related stuff, I also enjoy reading, fixing computers, video games, and cooking.

Welcome. Have fun around here :P

Glad to see you make the jump from lurker to member! Welcome!

Hello, hello! Name's Jaime... been going to conventions since 2000 (SugoiCon was my first big one) and haven't stopped going since. I didn't even miss that one the year it was on the exact weekend I came home from Germany!

I am an anime and anthro artist who is getting into the BJD scene and hoping to meet some other BJD fans and owners at this convention... which I learned about at OhayoCon this year.

...cheers! :hippy:

Hello Jaime and welcome to the forums...now what's BJD?? :huh:

Must be nice...must be nice...must be nice....

You clicked the button, and totally bypassed the link that read "OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION THREAD" Yet, you posted outside of it.

Oh, shush, Craig. It's not all that clear; I'd probably screw it up. Mike will probably merge these threads shortly.

Anyway, welcome Jaime!
