Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been lurking since the 6th day of the board, over 3 years ago and unsure how to enter this fray, given the cliquishness of the chat and the frequent flaming of newbers. I always liked the "Flower is girlish/gay" motif because of the perceived irony of it all and almost posted on it before and then, of course, he jumped the shark and anything Flower was so 2001, so I knew the risks of posting on it and declined. and lurked. But now, DAMNIT, I am ready, and especially if the board is going retro-oldskool on its on-topics.
There it is. I did it. Spot on mates. This feels good-I wish I hadn't waited this long.

ps: any avatar suggestions?

Welcome, Newber! First, let me congratulate you on your good judgment. Posting on the "Flower is girlish/gay" motif last year would have done nothing but bring down upon you the crushing wrath of Paigow <sniff> and possibly others. But as you have keenly percieved, what's old is new again. Black is the new black (no offense), and your timing with respect to your decision to test the waters is impeccable. Your instincts will serve you well on this board, for it does get a bit rough and tumble here from time to time. I would give you the whole "cocktail party" speech, but given your extensive lurking history, I have no doubt you have seen it a thousand times! Just keep your head low and watch your back. You'll go far. Corner office and all that.
As for avatar suggestions, feline-themed avatars seem to be tried and true. But go for what feels right.
