Now as someone who is still counted as being new here I had a great time at The Blue Skies event that happened this weekend. As mention old and new players mixed and again as one of those new players I felt welcomed and from what I saw no one was turned away. Sure some posts were missed but that's to be expected when you get a big enough group of people together.
To kind of reinforce the "you get what you give" statements that have been posted. I did have to speak up and find a place to start. The door is open we just have to take those first couple of steps and once inside things weren't as intimidating or as scary as they seemed. I generally worry about this stuff myself at times and I can often get really shy or my anxiety spikes.
I guess what I'm trying to say is those of us who are new have to be willing to step through that door. No one is going to know we are there if we stay behind this wall of 'what ifs'.
