Hello~ welcome to the U.S. forum.

Where are you from and what are you planning for your next trip? Jump right in!

TTT - even though its a new day,
lets hear from the newbies!
WELCOME!

I'm curious if you are only looking for those who have never posted here before, or if you are also including all those regular posters who register new names, usually for the purpose of making rude comments. I've been seeing an awful lot of new names, but it seems apparent from their comments that many of them have been around here for quite a while.

Neo-I noticed that also especially in the last couple of days.

>-)

I'm not new....just usually post on the caribbean board, but.....I had to comment:
JAGIRL, you are a hoot and thanks for keeping the caribbean board laughing!

Not new to Fodors, just seem to mostly post on the Africa board lately. Going to Egypt in two weeks. But I need to start looking for a bed & breakfast on the Big Island in February, so I have started monitoring the U.S. posts. Looks like quite a tight-knit bunch, can newbies bust in?

heymo, nothing tight here at all.. just a bunch of threads unraveling most of the time.. feel free to post and matnikstym, who lives on the B.I., is a great source of help for your information.. J.

jetset- Thanks for the welcome mat! I really enjoy these boards, most people we know are not travelers and constantly are questioning why we travel so much...it's nice to talk to fellow wanderers! I'll be sure to look for posts from maynikstym about the B.I. So where's your next jaunt?

heymo~ not terrible exciting.. our turkey pilgrimage to eastern Washington this fall.

However, I may do a runaway mom sort of weekend in a couple weeks. Now that it's fall, I need a desert heat fix and some rock climbing before spring

How about asking if there are any old posters. That seems more appropriate these days.

tsk tsk iamq~ I never aged after 28, so there!!

I'm not referring to the chronological age of posters.

-Bill

My oh My Mammy, I been postin' since back in the day when Elvira was more than a 6 letter word and mole people ruled the subways! Ahhh the good old days when trolls were trolls and no one hogtied the boards......It was a kinder gentler time.......ok it wasn't but it sure was fun and informative. Chat, chat, chat.....

I like seeing new people encouraged to participate, especially on weekends.

There are interesing posts from a variety of locations, near and far..regular posters seem to have their favorites, like FFRR and such, and are still there


I'm not sure why age is necessary, or complaints.. really the post title is self explanatory, but the venting might discourage new posters, which is a shame.. peace, J.

iamq: Here's one oldsouthernbelle! And soon to be older! I may not like the wrinkles, but I'm acutally proud of my age!
I looked like a youngster most of my life and now at least people take me seriously!

OSB, I am NOT talking about chronological age. I don't care how old or young anyone is!

"Old posters" is meant as in the reverse of new. Like, I wish some of the missing old timer fodorites (regardless of age) would come back.

-Bill

Hi Bill, so do I! Fodor's is not the same is it? But I guess nothing remains the same unfortunatly.

came here last year and got good info for a california trip.

went to greece this summer, but didn't really check anything here, as we were staying with family in a village....

trying a quick 1-2 day Chicago visit in october. found some great stuff searching.

from near Baltimore area.

I am new... so new that I don't really know what a Fodorite is, or a GTG...lol. Is this for people who travel alot? I don't travel much due to money (lack thereof) but I love to travel when I can. Do I still qualify?
