i've been a newbie too.., the truth is i've been registered since november '07 but becoz i'm so scared of doing somethin wrong that can result for being banned.., i just shut up and read and read threads without interacting with members.., i just had courage when some of ftalkers talked to me and welcomed me.., [b]first[/b] i was so scared coz every mods i see where so harsh about implementing rules.., (some i guess) ^can't they warn people first? [b]second[/b] im afraid to be called a spammer when all i did was an honest mistake,,. a lesson for me: read first! a lesson for mods: please be more patient.., thanx..,
