.I've been lurking for a few days after a friend pointed be to your fine forums and decided to register as I've been into sci fi for quite some time now and feel I may have something to contribute.
I hope you think so too
Make yourself at home, Orlock. Keep your hands and feet inside at all times, and don't feed PsyLiam. He sometimes bites.

Each animal has a warning sign on their cage (that would be the 'profile'). You can't necessarily believe everything on their sign though. Some animals like to tempt you close enough to them so they can beat you profusely. So watch the fine print.
Threat (I mean treat) them well and you shouldn't have any problems.
Mind all of the park rules (that would be the 'policy').
And above all...don't tease the animals. They do get testy. Well...okay, you can tease them just a little - just don't get caught and don't tell anyone I told ya to.
The animal caretakers (that would be the mods), are around and watching. The park is small because they like feeding the newbies to the animals...especially when they screw up.
Ummm....that's all I can think of right now. I'll relay anything else I can think of later.
K - Now get out there and have some fun!
Oh...and you'll have to go to the nurse's station (admins) for bandaids and tourniquets.
Enjoy and see ya around!

.Thank you all for your warm and most humorous welcome, I think I'm going to be very comfortable here indeed
But it's true I tell ya. Honest! Don't believe anything anyone else tells ya - they are telling lies!
All of them! Really!

So, welcome. Here is what new people, their faces flush with the intoxicating madness of youth, should do:
Compliment the author of the FAQ on being such a well spoken young gentleman, with the wit of Oscar Wilde (Though perfectly straight, mind you. Perfectly!) and the savoir-faire of a very, very, very, very...good person.
Do not spend much time contemplating the simplistic presentation, because the author has put it up just now, even as he types this post he is cutting and pasting and HTMLizing, and he does this all for you, and only for you. Imagine!
Possibly, possibly, tell the author that he is pretty. Not a requirement, just a suggestion.
Love life intensely.

*Attenborough-mode* Myes, watch heaah as the monthly feeding-frenzy occurs. A diverse variety of Trek-magazines are in fact being torn apart and consumed for their visual goodies. A remarkable feature in this species, as they seemingly digest the contents and distinctiveness of the magazines and add it to their own.
OH! We have to watch out now, after the feeding they usually proceed with smearing their colorful feces on the cages, in the form of shapes, symbols and sounds (looks almost as a childish interpretation of schematic, ha!) that seems to resemble that inherent in the cannibalized magazines, but within their personal tribal-tongue... Fascinating, I say!

Does anybody think of what Hormel must be thinking right now? Why doesn't anybody think of the CHILDREN!!!

We have a FAQ, you know. Someone could have mentioned the FAQ. "Oh, hello, sir or madam," they could have said. "We have a FAQ." Oh, some might complain, might say that the FAQ may exist somewhere, but not here, that there is no way to access it, that for all practical purposes it is a non-FAQ, but those people are wrong. Now, anyway.
