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.

Yes, welcome to the boards. You'll find us to be very friendly and helpful. Start a topic if you like, just make sure it's in the right board. And one final rule, never spam. We all hate that.

This is pandemic; terrifyingly, paralyzingly pandemic. They know absolutely nothing." - Harlan Ellison, on the Media Consumer of today.

HI! Welcome to the zoo. A few words of advice...
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!
