How did you new members find the Dope? I know it’s usually through some type of search, and you get led to us, but not always. Welcome, new [del]blood[/del]members. 🙂 ---

I’ve been burnt by new members too often. I’m not going to start on any of the paperwork until they’ve been here for 2 months. I hope the Welcoming/Initiation Committee does the same thing, because I hate the sound of the disappointed goats. ---

googled for message boards or maybe message forums, this place looked good. Not sure why I never found it in the past when I was looking for a new place to play at least in this section you are not harassed, called names or belittled, at least not out loud! :eek:😉 ---

Cooking and metal both cover a lot of territory (and I love both), so…what sort of foods do you enjoy cooking? What style(s) of metal are you into? ---

Well, if she’s like me, she’s into aluminum, cast iron, and copper-bottomed stainless steel as cooking metal. ---
