In the past the mods had made a rule about "I'm new" threads because there were a lot more of them, but nowadays forums in general aren't as popular as they once were so everyone needs to be more welcoming when someone is interested in hanging out with us instead of their Facebook friends.

To answer your questions, I do think hanging out here will help you improve, make friends and find fans!

Thank you. Is it common to see similar responses in the fora? "nooks and crannies" hmmm does this site have a group system or another way to be a of a smaller community in this site? Heh yeah Facebook... The most uninteresting social site in my opinion. I only find it useful for communicating with class mates.

I'm glad to hear that :)

I mean there is the featureless chat section, and a few other forums for more specific things i.e. clubs and crews where you can talk to people with common interests, Video games section, Artists and creators section etc..

Ignore people like him, you just gotta get used to it, welcome though.

What? Did I just talk with the founder of NG? Well, that's pretty cool.
I must say that NG is a pretty cool site and more aesthetically appealing than deviantART. I just hope that I will see a more welcoming and friendly part of the community in the future. It apparently does not take much to annoy people.

@LoccoDennis
Okay. I'll look more into it.

@darkjam
Thanks :)

We aren't like other forum boards. You might find nicer people on 4chan. Especially /b/.

Yeah, Tom goes on here often and talks to users sometimes. Unlike on some sites where the people who run it don't even listen to what some of the users have to say. Aside from @Asandir, @Cyberdevil, and maybe @VicariousE Tom is one of the nicest people on the entire site. I don't think I've ever seen him get full on pissed off at someone on here before.

You're kidding, right? First time I talked to Tom, I was as rude as hell! SCTE3 can take my place. Tom's the kinda guy who would only get pissed off, if one of his friends or family needed a damn good talking to... he could probably the count those times on one hand.

Nah. I think you're nice at times. You're a hell of a lot nicer than a ton of other people on this site thats for sure.

Yeah more than likely.

We have a friends system but it is still in the early stages of usefulness - you can use it to compete on scores and medals, or see what shared creations your friends have made in certain games. Have been talking about a groups system for years, with private group forums as well, but have never actually gotten it implemented. For now it's basically the different forum crowds and the blog activity such as the artist news on the front page.

Really should revisit that groups system at some point...

Tom does it every so often, but the OP less than 15 posts with 2 of them being replied by Tom, so there is that!

A group system could be a good feature. I think it would be easier find people with similar interests if such system were implemented. A lot of different social sites make good use of it, so I think it would be very much appreciated if the NG team added it to the site.

And thank you for taking your time to welcome me. I appreciate it a lot.

I think it's awesome that he take time chat with the community. As for your jelly-ness... Well I haven't much to say about that. Maybe I should be jealous at you instead, for some unknown reason :P

For older sign-up date, maybe? :P It's a sign of stature here! Or at least it used to be, but aanyway, welcome to NG! May your visit be fruitful and eternal, may you stumble upon inspiring games and animations and get so hooked onto medal games you can nae leave your chair for three days straight! And attain those goals you set out to attain while you're at it.
