Welcome

[#1]

No, it's not admin. It's just me. I grabbed this name because, well, it was there! and just as generic as the forum titles are...and, if the goddesses shine on us, will be for a while longer.

This is just meant to be a gathering place that welcomes all.

What I don't understand, is how we will be able to fit under the new wings, and what we have to do to get that presence.

I know there are a couple of other "teams" for everyone -- I joined one. But, folks, it's all in the name if we want to "game" the system, you know?

I want each and every one of you to know how much I value your words, and your lurkings. I love people I don't agree with -- they open my horizons, make me mad, and just make the world a wonderful place with everything in it. I loved that about the old forum. I could read something I disagree with, and steam, then vent...and I loved that it was there!

I've been away a day, working hard on my stuffs, and look at all the new folk! Welcome Nancy, LocalColorist who makes extraordinary Treasuries with timely and interesting themes.

It's not life if there's nobody to disagree with and have a good argument with just for the heck of it. I have to agree, well said!

Welcome all the new members! We're an eclectic group here -- old timers, newbies, people who have strong opinions, and those who are a bit more sensitive.

And if you have a particular area of expertise - any, not just Etsy-related - please post a little bit about it in this thread:

http://www.etsy.com/teams/7402/etsy-forum-users/discuss/6754689

When the Teams become searchable, it will be a great resource here.

Hi everyone, thanks for creating a friendly, welcoming team that accepts lurkers and occasional posters like me. I'm completely confused with the whole concept of the new team forums - seems like etsy will only fix the things that aint broken - but I'm so glad I found you all :)

Welcome! We're pretty open here. Things are slow, and, I fear, not as exciting as the old Fora were. :-) We're trying, tho.

And welcome Odesete, our 400th member!! Wow! We have so many talented folk among us now. Just post in one of the many threads, and they you can find your way back here easily from "My Threads" and see what's going on here.
