Kinda IYKYK. I’ve been around for a very long time, but am new here to SD. SDC? I’ll figure it out. A friend recommended this place. The forums I’ve been on for the last couple of years is in its way out, so I need a new home. Hopefully, I’ll fit in here.

Welcome Alli!
The only forum I used to frequent everyday has apparently, a few months ago, shut down forever. I’ve been signed up for this message board for many years but never participated much. It’s not like the other place and I don’t know if I can fit in. I hope I can because I need someplace to be on the internet.
I hope you can fit in too.

Thanks! I think I need a tour guide. Hehe!

Just play around on the board, and find the forums that fit you the best.

But _not_ the other SDMB- Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists. We are .com, they are .org.

Because that was such a specific and unusual thing, I just had to look it up. @Czarcasm is 100% correct:
> **[Mountain Bicycling | Sonoran Desert Cyclists | Tucson, AZ](https://www.sdmb.org/)**
>
> Join Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists in building, riding, and protecting Tucson's bike trails. Discover events, news, and support our mission.
It’s a nice piece of pleasant semi-weirdness that manages to brighten a day just by existing.

That’s kinda interesting. I might even know a few people on there!

Do we even have a squid anymore? I know the goat got turned into birria during the Great Lockdown.
Welcome all!

Did you take a number when you walked in? You have to take a number, go sit and wait for the number to be called, and if you miss it when they call your number, you have to go back to the begining a take another number. Just like the DMV.

Yes. As the newest, I was assigned squid duty. Thankfully, I’m used to dealing with household snake strikes, so dodging is instinctive, but you wouldn’t believe what inflation has done to SquidChow prices!

I’ve been here for 26 years, not counting lurking, which is the longest I’ve been anywhere. I started before YouTube, before Twitter, before any social media was a thing. The SDMB has to be one of the longest running Forums on the internet.This place has staying power.

You should like the Star Trek threads.
And, yeah welcome to our corner of the internet.

Okay, enuf with the pleasantries. Before we go any further, we gotta know:
1. Hot dogs: mustard or ketchup?
2. Toilet paper: over or under?
3. Corn-on-the-cob: across or around?
4. Is pineapple an appropriate topping for pizza?
Choose wisely.
