> [@zslane](#): > > I have found that in any community of sufficient size there are always folks who enjoy being ambassadors of the hobby and make the extra effort to reach out to newcomers I joined in June of this year. I have to say that I felt very welcomed. The more I asked the more folks responded. I’ve stayed engaged and tried to help where I can. I haven’t used a forum like this in many, many years so I too was expecting a bit more pushback with the “newbie” questions. To my surprise that wasn’t the case. We all have a reason for being here. For some its the BST for others its the trick section or maybe following a pro. Either way I think its a real productive community. Finding a “circle” isn’t that hard but its up to the new comer. Now that I know how to “turn off” the BST (funny I was trying to figure that out yesterday) I am going to concentrate more on the tricks. ---

I joined in September, the first welcome was from @Roy_Dodge. I believe this welcome changes the game, at least for me, I felt embraced as well as challenged > [@Introduce Yourself!](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself/51/6853): > > looking forward to whatever you might contribute. I don’t know if I did any contribution, but hey, I’m trying. Hahahah ---

This guy knows the truth! Motorcycle forums make my head hurt so I avoid them. I tend to observe more than participate sometimes but this is the only forum I’ve stuck with past a year in the past decade, before that the only other forum was Dave’s skilltoys up till it shut down, but I’m pretty happy with yye forums for the most part. :yo-yo:🏍 ---

Hello yoyo people!! Just recently I’d met a fellow country mate here at the forums and told him to post at > [@ChrisFrancz](#): > > Introduce Yourself letting him know that some marvellous comunity players would salute him. Just to find out the the thread was closed. Maybe it’s time to open a new one. Or did I miss something?? Cheers!!! ---

You can’t post for your first few hours or day idk it’s an anti spam thing it’s annoying but it’s how the platform works [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/let-s-be-more-welcoming-to-newcomers/332533.md?page=1)
