    Is there a purpose to this existence? Why are we here? Very deep question, Baz. [face_thinking]

    I believe we are keeping the thread active to entice adoptions and show those who may peek in that they can trust the regulars. I do think we are on a tangent though.

    Time to get back on target.

    Tell us @Lady Belligerent - what can a new member expect if they are adopted?

    Thank you @Adalia-Durron :)

    Once a user has expressed an interest in being adopted, I send them a message asking a few questions about what they enjoy most about SW, and if there’s an area they would like specific guidance with. Those details help me place them with a member that has similar interests and frequents those areas of the boards. I then contact the potential adopter and make sure they will have time to be available for the newbie, when I get confirmation I send an introductory PM to both users. Some users have asked their questions in that PM where I participate also. We help with understanding the rules and etiquette of the JCF, also help with how and when to reach out to Moderators. Some newbies just need assistance with where specific interests are discussed, others are new to message boards and wish for extra guidance to jump into the discussions.

    It’s a great program and a fun way to get to know fellow fans. :)

    Can those who have officially signed up come forward and I would ask them to tell new users about the parts of the boards they hang out in mostly. Giving them the opportunity to see what is out there and how big this place is!

    Mousketeer Roll Call!
    I'm Bobby!

    Er... Call me Ishy. That's with an eye at the beginning.

    I'm most always in one or other of the social threads. Mainly the Cloud City Cantina. But I pop into others from time to time to give Addie hell participate in discussions that may arise.

    I've darkened the doors of the Spoilers Allowed forums, but don't discuss much.

    Finally, @Lady Belligerent got me hooked on the RP thread. I've played a Sith Ithorian (currently in a commando droid), a human Grey, and a jack-booted officer. Nowhere near the number of characters others have played, but I don't have time for any more.

    Notes that despite his clear contempt for herself he is forward thinking and engaging his peers.......takes more notes.

    @Khalia Octa as well on that list.

    "Hello. I am Sabe, and I am a RPG-aholic."

    I chill in the RPF forums, Expanded Universe Community, Welcome New Users, Lit (largely lurk ), Star Wars Community, and when brave enough... the Prequel forum.

    *salutes everyone*

    That is true, and honestly I am way over being saluted. Just by me a beer or a shot of Jeremiah Weed.

    I actually know those guys. I was stationed with them over at Cannon AFB back in the day. Not my favorite song off their albums however.
