I also remember mine pretty well! It wasn't that long ago It was also the first time I joined a forum (by thenn I didn't even use the Messanger thing nor ever chatted! And I am computer literate, I'm getting a degree on Telecommunication Engineering but I must admit I felt reluctant to meet people on the Internet Now I must admit I was wrong - It's been SOOO nice to meet you all here !)
When I visited the site for the first time I was amazed!! I can't remember how I got here, though. I fell in love immediately with the site, the whole idea of POTD and, of course, the forum!
My first post was on How did you come up with my cat(s) name? I thought the question was great and also that it would be a nice way to introduce myself, and of course, Sirocco Some people have already mentioned that the first time they posted they felt like joining in a huge family and also a little afraid that they would be rejected, as you seem so close (well, now it is we !!!!)
Anyway, you welcome was very warm and now I feel I'm really part of this site!!
