Looking forward to chatting
this is my new home…its the best thing since bacon!
welcome to you too!
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. 
Someone from a message board called “sitcomsonline” referred me here. I was looking for a active message board.
Welcome to the SDMB!
My belly growls in anticipation…

Yes I like the pit and mudane boards the most so far.
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.
HI!
I’m new here.
I’m a nerdy Atlantic lady with a super love of cooking and metal.
I’ve been here a few weeks - so I’m new! I found it by googling something and being led here. I lurked on the site for a bit and you guys made me laugh, so I joined. 
Welcome, Terry!
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:
I disagree.
Welcome aboard! This board is heavy on the nerds, so you’ll do fine there. 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?
there’s only room for one Blue here! 
so get ova yo’self:p
J/K welcome…welcome, welcome
Well, if she’s like me, she’s into aluminum, cast iron, and copper-bottomed stainless steel as cooking metal.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
And, um…this is the other thing about this board, new arrivals. Unless constantly on your guard, you can and will be wordplayed. 
Did a search for ‘online forum with intelligent participants.’ I swear, this place came up. Here I am, trying to live up.
I was going to go with a metallurgy joke…
