Welcome, reksfhzfz! You'll find that people here aren't really that mean as long as you're not a complete idiot or an admin.

And the admins are generally pretty nice in that they will often set people up with super easy jokes.

There's a difference between those two?

ETA: Thanks.

Just don't let them set you up with a date.

And my Mom is generally pretty nice in that she will often set herself up with super easy jokes.

Giraffe,

Well I guess I am going to ask for a slight change to my username: I propose rexzilno, that would be pronounced; rex . zil . no, people would likely just call me rex, but hey at least they could pronounce the whole name.

Give it some thought if you will.

You should really ask in "About this silly message board" forum - please remember to also ask if we can call you Sniffles, just because I like that name. Rex is OK, but Sniffles is the bestest.

Reks - a couple of free (and darned well worth it!) n00bie tips for you.

1.) To quote someone as in above, click on the "Quote" button at the bottom of their post. It will start a new post with their post quoted in it. You can also do a manual quote by using this structure; [Quote = 'username'] 'their words' [/Quote]. The advantage to using the quote button, aside from a lot less typing and remembering silly vBulletin codes, is that it puts a link to the original post in the quote so that extremely bored people can click on it to be taken to the original post in the thread.

2.) If you want to alert another poster, like the big guy, you can place an @ sign in front of their username like this @reksfzilno. They'll get a notification that they have been "mentioned" in a post and a link to it.

3.) There is an official name change thread at this link. It is at the top of the Getting Started forum and all name change requests should go there. If you post to that thread one of the Admins will see it and decide if your requested name change will be allowed - spoiler alert, it will.

And if I haven't mentioned it before, welcome to the board. It is nice to have a new poster that isn't a stupid troll or spammer.
