Welcome. Just to let you know. There are multiple forums on this site and usually general “hello” discussion threads get placed in the one called MPSIMS. So, don’t be alarmed if this thread gets moved there. ---

Welcome to the message board! Look around, read threads from the different forums and get a sense of the place. **General Questions** is for factual questions (like “when did Kenya’s economy first attract investor attention?”) so this thread will probably get moved to **MPSIMS** which is for personal chatting and greeting and getting to know people. ---
