Hello, I guess this is technically my second post but Just wanted to say Hello to everyone. I have been “reading” these boards for a couple of weeks now, they intrigued me so here I am. I am a very open person and I think this place is great. Feel free to ask what you want, I know some are more open than others here. Was told this would be a better place for first post, So here it is. ---

Hi **NeXXuS** , please do not post the same thing in more than one forum. I have closed your other threads and left this one open. - **xash** General Questions Moderator ---

Hello, **NeXXuS**. Welcome to the boards. But tell me, has the Dope completely taken over your life yet, like it has with most of the rest of us, or do you still have a semblance of your old life left? 😉 ---

Sorry bout the posts in the other topics, but there is no option to edit or delete your posts after you have made them, as far as I could find anyways. No, Not entirely yet but I do find the conversations interesting. I usually only read these at work as a rule, But have been frequenting them more and more often at home. I guess you could classify me as a “People watcher” I am intrigued by people in general, due to well yeah you are too, you know what I mean. ---

Not to be picky here, but this does bring up a valid question. Why no option to edit or delete your posts? I am pretty familiar with Vbulletin, just wondering about the limitation - It is kind of annoying. ---

Welcome to the playground. The no edit/delete option has been discussed to death, although you couldn’t know that being new. Suffice it to say, it’s not available because of the huge potential for abuse, among other things. Use preview to check your posts, and don’t sweat little typos - we’re pretty good at figuring out what you’re trying to say. And if you think that’s annoying, well… no, perhaps I’ve said too much. So I’ll repeat, welcome to the playground. It’s your turn to bring snacks for everyone. ---

Fair enough, I know the potential for abuse as I run a relatively active forum myself at [www.chicagosfragfest.com](http://www.chicagosfragfest.com), So I understand the reasoning, it’s just kind of annoying for a veteran poster that is VERY used to that luxury. And thanks all for the welcome. And of course, the first timer always has to bring beer and chips to the party. ---
