Guide: Introductions

Monsen

There is a separate category in this forum called introductions where members can introduce themselves. This is intended as a friendly place to get to know each other a bit, and an expansion to the old thread.

Feel free to introduce yourself here when you want to. I know not everyone like to introduce themselves the moment they join, so feel free to wait until you feel ready. There are of course no obligation if you don't want to introduce it at all, but everyone here loves to hear a little bit about the other members.

For easy overview, please put your forum name in the title of the discussion, and if you want it know, feel free to put your real name here too.

For the post itself, just tell us what you want to. Who you are, where you live, what you do for a living, how you use your maps, etc. It is up to you. Feel free to upload images related to your your introductions, such as your map, the view from your living room window, or whatever you may find appropriate.

When introducing yourself, make sure to create your own discussion, don't do it in a comment on someone else discussion. Of course, commenting on other people's introductions are allowed, and this isn't a ban on saying anything about yourself in another discussions, that's part of normal conversation, but don't make your main introduction a part of their thread.

Make sure to pick the Introductions category when posting your introduction, and please do not use this category for anything else. This category is for each member to make a single introductory thread about themselves, not a place to "introduce" each of their projects or anything like that. At least, not by making new threads for it, you can still comment on your own introduction thread to add more information.

Of course, even if the introductions are a bit more of a personal space, remember that the forum rules still apply, avoid controversial topics like religion and politics.
