    Hello, I'm a new participant to the board. I've visited before, but there's a lot to take in and I've always felt weird trying to jump into a conversation or topic. So I figured this would be the best place to start.

    Hi David

    Welcome to the Boards, great to see you.

    Don't worry about jumping into conversations, its a fact of life. A lot of the threads started years before any of us got here.

    As a sop to internet security, I would normally caution against revealing your real name on the internet...

    ...but I see that that boat has not only sailed, but it has already been christened Boaty McBoatFace, and circumnavigated the globe. :rolleyes:

    Feel free to ask any questions.

    Wait you guys can see that?!?!


    I'm kidding, I know kicked around whether or not I should list it but thought it couldn't hurt - it's just a site for my writing projects - I hope those aren't famous last words.

    My biggest question was protocol or procedure for participating in running discussions. I've been on some strict message boards before, and I didn't want to assume anything and end up looking obnoxious. So you've helped me feel more comfortable already.

    Somewhere near the top of the screen is a "Rules of the JC" dropdown that can be referred to if you have concerns about Board strictness.

    Apart from a forum called the Senate, I do not anticipate any issues just joining in a conversation. Saying 'hi' can break the ice, as can driving a car onto a recently frozen lake.

    Welcome!

    Don't hesitate to just jump into a conversation if it interests you, everyone has been new at some point.

    Do you have an order for where you rate each SW movie?

    Kind of, I agonize over the ordering which might seem silly. I think I'd rank them 5, 3, 4, 1, 6, 2. I loved The Force Awakens, but I'm not sure where I think that fits in just yet.

    Interesting. :cool:

    Same here, think I'll wait till the trilogy is complete.

    Look forward to seeing you around the boards!

    Welcome David C! :)

    I see you got great help already. :D If you want to join a long existing discussion, make sure to read the first post/page and the last one to tree pages. That gives you a good idea about the topic and at what point the discussion is. But in the end, just say hi and add a little thing. We don't bite. :)

    Enjoy your stay! :)
