No offense intended, Bagles, you seem pretty cool. Guys, do we really need a topic for every 10th person that joins? There should be a sticky about that...
I think it's nice. It starts off our relationship with them. Perhaps a "Newbies Board" where people post just to say hello would be fine. But, I don't think enough people really do post a "Hello, I'm new" topic for one to be created.
Anywho, Hello and welcome to Blockland. Please, read the rules for posting on the Forums, and have a look around (On the Forums, and In-Game). Get a feel for how the game works, and how the Forums work. So, look around, learn some new stuff, and have fun.
Also, the game is defintely worth buying. Even if you yourself aren't confident enough with your building skills, or whatever, it's great to play.
So, have fun and we'll see you around.
