Did there used to be many more iops listed here?

We have had troublemakers copying our forum word for word since we went public a month or two back.

The IOPS remain.  We have added a few.  It will take achieving your fifty posts in ON topic areas.  The welcome thread and the lounge won't count toward ur first fifty.  They count toward long time members becoming friends with u.

(As too much info went out on some IOPs, and many feel that contributed to some problems of late, we felt we had to protect our vendors once more.)

Are you crazy?  I hope so.  Crazy is far more fun.

I'm so glad I just read this Charon.  Being a "Newbie"? , I 'm trying to learn by hopping around and reading random posts.  It's a lot like wandering around lost in the desert. I think I will just check out the lounge and try to make friends.  Social Phobia.....even online? Time has come to "do it afraid".

u have already made at least one friend, if u will have me as one.

Fairly certain others will take to you also.

Take your time. Be yourself. I have faith in you.

But, the easiest thing is to write your draft for a post on word pad or whatever. It is less direct maybe? Then copy and paste.

Just take your time. No one is pushing you to be someone you are not comfortable being.

Have a glorious night.

Charon - You have a precious heart!

I would gladly call you Friend.

I’m not sure what you meant by less direct, but I am drafting in text and will copy and paste. Were you referring to content or formatting? I appreciate any guidance as I learn to navigate.

I’m exploring today. That’s how I found your post. I love discovering how to find my way around.

I cannot wait to get to 50. I am trying to be patient to not make any purchases without much more research.
